 Perhaps we would not have the heart to care for him.  On the other hand, we might care for him and want to do something for him in his need.  As a result, we might hurry to see this brother and do things for him.  This is our natural doing; it is not from the Lord.  We should go to the Lord and pray, “Lord, my brother is very sick.  What would You do, Lord?  Would You burden me to take care of him:  If so, I will care for him.  If not, I will not do anything by myself according to my natural human life.  I want to take care of him with You, to make this care not a human doing but a divine doing.”  Sometimes when we go to the Lord about a certain needy brother, He may ask us not to contact him at that time, because this brother is in His hand.</FONT></div> <div>      All of us who love the church want to help the believers when we see that they are troubled.  But if we do this apart from God, it is not divine.  <B>To be divine is to do everything with God, by God, in God, and through God.</B>  When someone comes to us with a burden or a problem, we should always bring it to the Lord.  The Lord may say, “Leave this matter to Me.  You stand aside.  This is not the thing that you should do.”  On the other hand, if the Lord burdens us to do something, our doing will be divine.</div> <div>      When the Lord saw God's children as God's flock harassed and cast away in Matthew 9:36-38, His heart was moved with compassion.  But He did not charge the disciples to directly take care of them.  Instead, He told them to pray to the Lord of the harvest and ask Him to thrust out the laborers.  The Lord Himself practiced this principle.  He saw the need of shepherds for God's elect, so He spent the whole night in prayer to God.  He did not act without prayer.  He brought this case to His Father, so He got the Father's decision.</div> <bR> <div> <I>[extract with some paraphrase from “The God-man Living," Witness Lee, Living Stream Ministry, pp. 110-111]</I></div> <bR> <bR> <div> Return to:</div> <div> <A HREF="id149.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Harvest"><U><B>The Harvest</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id150.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Testimonies"><U><B>Testimonies</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id154.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Gospel Tracts"><U><B>Gospel Tracts</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id633.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Gospel Tracts by CTR"><U><B>Gospel Tracts by CTR</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id765.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Streams In The Desert"><U><B>Streams In The Desert</B></U></A></div> <div> see also:  <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.gospelgreeting.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.gospelgreeting.com"><U>www.gospelgreeting.com</U></A></FONT></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
