改變:生命中唯一確定的事

CHANGE: ONE OF LIFE’S CERTAINTIES

多年前的一句俗話告訴我們:生命中唯一確定的事就是死亡和繳稅。至少在大多數國家這兩件事仍然是持續不變的。但還有一個確定的事,是我們都必須面對的,那就是「改變」。就像太陽每天早上確定會從東方升起一樣,無論我們是否喜歡,新的一天也都會確定帶來某種改變。

 

COVID-19的大流行,確實帶來了巨大的改變。而最近我們也聽說,病毒又不受歡迎地捲土重來,隨之也升高了新的社會限制和法規的危機,其他重大的健康挑戰也可能逐漸逼近。

 

但是健康和醫療問題,並不是我們生活中發生巨大改變的唯一原因。國家和全球的經濟似乎比以往任何時候都更加動盪。因此,我們的企業和個人生活的決策都變得更加複雜。另外,科技也是一個持續的改變來源如果我們要在21世紀的市場上保持競爭力,就要求我們變得更靈活並有適應能力。在我們的行業內,同樣地,無論我們喜歡與否,改變會一直伴隨我們。

 

那麽,我們該如何應對呢?我喜歡領導力顧問和作家提姆·凱特(Tim Kight)的建議,他說:「改變往往是不方便和不舒服的,但並不意味著它是一種威脅。改變給了一個讓你與眾不同的機會。大多數人不喜歡改變,所以你就不要像大多數人。踏出去,用紀律來應改變帶來的機會。」

 

這些都是明智之言。當其他人似乎都在苦惱和抵擋改變時,我們可以選擇擁抱它,並獨特地將自己定位為改變的倡導者。無可否認這樣的話,說比做容易的多了。那麽,我們要如何做到這一點呢?對上帝的信心是能夠達成的有利條件。考慮一下聖經告訴我們關於改變的幾件事:

 

上帝是不會改變的。在處理更迭不斷的改變潮流中,找到一個穩定的源頭,一個讓我們不至於漂流的錨,是有幫助的。聖經告訴我們,上帝就是那錨,祂是不斷改變的世界中唯一不變的那一位。耶穌基督昨日、今日、一直到永遠,是一樣的。」(希伯來書138)「願榮耀、威嚴、能力、權柄,因我們的主耶穌基督歸與他,從萬古以前並現今,直到永永遠遠。阿們!」(猶大125

 

不變的上帝掌握著持續改變的未來。你是否知道,當意想不到的、甚至是不想要的改變到來時,你可以相信這些改變的結果已經確定了呢?對上帝的信心給了我們這樣的保證。耶和華說:我知道我向你們所懷的意念是賜平安的意念,不是降災禍的意念,要叫你們末後有指望。」(耶利米書2911節)、「你求告我,我就應允你,並將你所不知道、又大又難的事指示你。」(耶利米書333節)

 

上帝永遠與我們同在。在穿越不熟悉的地域時有一個嚮導,知道正確的道路,可以帶領我們抵達預定的目的地,總是很有幫助的。我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷,也不怕遭害,因為你與我同在;你的杖,你的竿,都安慰我。」(詩篇234節)、「你不要害怕,因為我與你同在;不要驚惶,因為我是你的上帝。我必堅固你,我必幫助你;我必用我公義的右手扶持你。」(以賽亞書4110節)

備註:如果你手上有聖經,想閱讀更多的內容,可以考慮以下的經文(因篇幅有限,請查閱未列出的經文:箴言14416492024)

詩篇373-7

37:3你當倚靠耶和華而行善,住在地上,以他的信實為糧;

37:4又要以耶和華為樂,他就將你心裏所求的賜給你。

37:5當將你的事交託耶和華,並倚靠他,他就必成全。

37:6他要使你的公義如光發出,使你的公平明如正午。

37:7你當默然倚靠耶和華,耐性等候他;不要因那道路通達的和那惡謀成就的心懷不平。

箴言35-6

3:5你要專心仰賴耶和華,不可倚靠自己的聰明,

3:6在你一切所行的事上都要認定他,他必指引你的路。

傳道書31-8

3:1凡事都有定期,天下萬務都有定時。

3:2生有時,死有時;栽種有時,拔出所栽種的也有時;

3:3殺戮有時,醫治有時;拆毀有時,建造有時;

3:4哭有時,笑有時;哀慟有時,跳舞有時;

3:5拋擲石頭有時,堆聚石頭有時;懷抱有時,不懷抱有時;

3:6尋找有時,失落有時;保守有時,捨棄有時;

3:7撕裂有時,縫補有時;靜默有時,言語有時;

3:8喜愛有時,恨惡有時;爭戰有時,和好有時。

約翰福音1427

14:27我留下平安給你們;我將我的平安賜給你們。我所賜的,不像世人所賜的。你們心裏不要憂愁,也不要膽怯。

 

反省與問題討論

第一、在過去一年中,你不得不面對的最大改變是什麽?

第二、你是如何處理這些改變的?它們是否給你帶來了很大的壓力和焦慮還是你能夠平靜有效地,應對和解決這些改變呢?請解釋一下你的答案。

第三、你認為為什麽許多人對改變的反應是負面消極的?當其他人把改變看作是一個需要抵擋的問題時,而以正面積極的方式應對改變,把它看作是一個機會,有多困難呢?

第四、你是否同意對上帝的信心和信靠,讓我們在處理改變的方式上,產生意義深遠的影響?你同意或者不同意?為什麽?如果你同意,有哪些實際方法可以將這種信心付諸行動?
