Here is a tough question for you! What seems to be the hardest thing in the world for anyone to do? Is that what you think? Well, you have to WAIT for something! And its especially hard to wait PATIENTLY for something! But listen to what David said in our Bible.

　　這里有一個很難的問題給你答：在世界上對一個人來說最難作的事情是什么? 你必須要等候!更難的是要耐心地等候。你的答案是這個嗎?

　　Psalm 40:l I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. David is saying he waited patiently for the Lord to DO SOMETHING. We dont know what it was David was waiting for the Lord to do, but we do know he waited. What does it mean to be patient?

　　來聽聽大衛在圣經中是怎么說的：詩篇第40篇第1節：我曾耐性等候耶和華，他垂聽我的呼求。大衛說他耐心地等候神來作事情。我們不知道大衛在等候神來作什么，但是我們知道他在等候。忍耐是什么意思呢?

　　That means to wait calmly and without complaining. David waited without trying to make things work out. What happened? Inclined means God turned His attention to David and heard him and answered his prayer!

　　就是安靜地等候而沒有怨言。大衛等候神來作工，而沒有自己先用人的方法來解決問題。這樣會有什么結果呢?垂聽就是把神的注意力轉到大衛身上，聽他呼求，并回答他的禱告。

　　If you are a child of God, dont get impatient when God doesn? answer your prayers right away. Be careful not to run ahead of God and try to work things out yourself. What happens when you do? Oh, you will surely miss the amazing and wonderful way your wise Heavenly Father would have worked things out! Gods timing and ways are so much better than ours! A good example of that is the life of Joseph. Read about him in Genesis, the first book of the Bible. Begin in chapter 37. Joseph waited patiently for the Lord to work, and only the LORD could have worked everything out so wonderfully! What might have happened if Joseph had tried to take matters in his own hands? Perhaps tried to escape from prison, or had a bitter, complaining spirit?

　　如果約瑟要靠自己的雙手來解決問題，那結果會怎么樣呢? 也許他要試著從監牢里逃出來，或者天天愁眉苦臉發牢騷。所以要耐心地等候神來作工!相信他，并像約瑟一樣繼續服侍他。神要你學習等候的功課，如果你跑得太快，你就學不到。記住，神在你生活中為你所安排的計劃要比你自己能作的好得多。如果你跑到神的前面，你就會錯過重要的功課以及神豐盛的祝福。這個星期你會來到神的面前，把自己的困難交給他嗎?

　　WAIT PATIENTLY FOR GOD TO WORK! Keep trusting Him and keep serving the Lord Jesus as Joseph did. God has lessons in His waiting room that you cannot learn if you run out! Remember God WILL work out His plan for your life SO MUCH better than you ever could. And you can miss important lessons as well as great blessings by running ahead of God. Will you this week go to God with those things that trouble you? Continue to pray about them and wait patiently for God to work. He will, He will work them out in His best time and in His best way.Keep praying, and patiently bearing with the problems in your life. Keep praying for that lost family member or friend. Keep doing your best with that problem at school! If Joseph could be here today, he would tell you to be patient and let God work out His wonderful plan!

　　要繼續禱告，同時耐心地等候他來作工。他會在最好的時間，用最好的方法來為我們解決。一面持續不斷地禱告，一面耐心地忍耐生活中的困難。繼續為沒有得救的家人和朋友禱告，繼續努力面對學校里的問題! 如果約瑟今天在這里，他會告訴你要耐心等候神，他會用最好的方法來幫助你!

　　If you have never believed in the Lord Jesus, that you might be saved from your sin, you are not Gods child. Did you know there is one thing for which God does NOT want you to wait! He wants you to be His child by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ.Lets stand right now and say that verse together! Psalm 40:l I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. Psalm 40:l In Your time, In Your time, you make all things work for good, In Your time.Lord, Ill work watch pray,Lord, Ill let You have Your way,You make all things work for good, In Your time.

　　如果你從來沒有相信過主耶穌，你還沒有從罪中被拯救出來，你就不是神的孩子。 你知道嗎?有一件事神可不想讓你等候：他想讓你因為相信主耶穌而成為他的孩子。讓我們再念一遍詩篇第40篇第1節：我曾耐性等候耶和華，他垂聽我的呼求。
