極其駭人而美好的第一步

THAT TERRIFYING, TERRIFIC FIRST STEP

中國諺語說:「千里之行始於足下。用更現代的話來說,除非你決定要開始,否則你就沒有辦法完成任何一件事。多數人的問題就在於他們從未開始。

 

我自己就有這樣的經驗。我曾有過一些夢想,甚至可以說是人生目標,但我卻從來沒有完成它們,原因是我從未跨出那第一步。即使我現在已經是一位專業作家了,卻從未寫過一本小說, 因為我還沒有邁出第一步。在高中時,我在幾個樂隊裡擔任鼓手。雖然我總想提高自己的技能,但是我卻從來沒有踏出完成這個目標的第一步。我也一直很想知道自己有沒有描畫風景的能力,然而——你猜對了——直到今天,我都還沒採取學習的第一步。

 

然而,另一方面,我也可以舉出一些自己已經採取的第一步。它們在我專業與個人的領域中,徹底改變了我的人生。讀大學時,我因為想學新聞而轉學。這造就了我近50年的職業生涯。我總是害怕公開演講,但我已經邁出了第一步,強迫自己必須在小組面前演講。雖然公開演講仍是我的軟肋,必要時我可以講得很好。

 

我結婚已經超過44年了,如果當年我沒有邁出邀我太太約會的第一步,不知道今天的我會是甚麼樣子?我們夫妻之前常常談到要一起去國外旅行去年我們終於付諸實現,接受一些朋友的邀請,參加一趟難忘的義大利之旅。

 

穆迪聖經研究所所長馬克約伯(Mark Jobe)博士在他的電台節目中談到了邁出第一步的重要性和難度。他指出許多人不願意採取關鍵第一步的理由,這裡有三個最常見的原因。我另外增加了一些可以應用的聖經經文:

 

第一、狀況不理想。 約伯用了一個希望開始戶外運動計劃的例子。有時候可能感覺太冷了,有時候又可能有點太熱了。我們幾乎無法遇到可以踏出第一步的完美狀況,所以最好的計劃就是盡快開始,然後繼續前進,一天一天來。聖經教導我們:「人的腳步為耶和華所定;人豈能明白自己的路呢?」(箴言20章24節

 

第二、時間點似乎不太完美。我們大多數人都希望能夠在周圍的世界中發揮影響力,無論是參與社區活動,或是投入時間和精力幫助別人在個人和靈性上成長。沒有理由裹足不前,因為沒有比現在更好的開始時間了。「你那裏若有現成的,不可對鄰舍說:去吧,明天再來,我必給你。」(箴言3章28節)「要愛惜光陰,因為現今的世代邪惡。」(以弗所書5章16節)

 

第三、踏出信心的第一步可能會強迫你直接面對最大的恐懼。在某些情況下,恐懼會阻礙我們採取第一步。可能是對失敗的恐懼、對未知的恐懼,或對其他人如何反應的恐懼。這時信仰就是最大的關鍵:當我們感到極度焦慮時,無論是甚麼狀況,信靠主都能幫助我們踏出那一步。「你不要害怕,因為我與你同在;不要驚惶,因為我是你的 神。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

反省與問題討論

第一、你能想到任何因為不願意或者太害怕採取第一步,至今未能完成的事嗎?

 

 

第二、你能想到任何一件你最初不願意做或嘗試,但是當你決定邁出第一步,就發現它改變了你的生活,讓你現在不禁懷疑自己當初究竟為什麼遲遲未邁步的事嗎?

 

 

第三、當狀況看起來不完美的時候,我們如何克服猶豫不決和對時機的疑慮?

 

 

第四、對上帝的信心——相信並依靠祂——能如何幫助我們擺脫恐懼,勇敢踏出第一步?我們又如何能夠跨出人生最重要的第一步:把你的生命交給耶穌基督,承認祂為你生命的主?你做到了嗎?
