“Hallelujah! The Lord God omnipotent reigns!” Revelation 19:6
“哈利路亚！全能的主神掌权！”启示录19:6
Believer! what can better support and sustain you amid the trials of your pilgrimage, than the thought that you have an Omnipotent arm to lean upon?
信徒啊！在你朝圣之路的试炼中，还有什么比依靠全能者的臂膀更能支撑你呢？
The God with whom you have to do, is boundless in His resources! There is . . .
no crossing His designs,
no thwarting His purposes,
no questioning His counsels.
你所面对的神，祂的资源无穷无尽！
没有人能违背祂的设计，
没有人能阻挠祂的旨意，
没有人能质疑祂的谋划。
His mandate is law! “He speaks-and it is done!” Your need is great. From the humblest crumb of providential goodness, up to the richest blessing of Divine grace-you are hanging from moment to moment, as a poor pensioner on Jehovah’s bounty!
祂的命令就是律法！”祂说有，就有！”你的需要很大。从最微小的护理恩惠，到最丰富的神圣恩典——你时时刻刻都如同可怜的领恩者，倚靠耶和华的恩惠！
But, fear not! “I am the Almighty God! Finite necessities can never exhaust My infinite fullness!”
但不要惧怕！”我是全能的神！有限的需要永远无法耗尽我无限的丰盛！”
“My God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus!” Philippians 4:19
“我的神必照他在基督耶稣里的荣耀丰富，供应你们一切所需用的。”腓立比书4:19
To You, O blessed Jesus! all power has been committed in Heaven and in earth. “ALL power!” He has in His hands the reigns of universal empire! Whatever is the blessing which the poorest, weakest, loneliest, most afflicted of His saints require-if it is really for their good, the “Wonderful Counselor” secures it!
至于你，蒙福的耶稣啊！天上地下所有的权柄都已交给你。”一切权柄！”祂手中掌管着宇宙帝国的统治权！无论祂最贫穷、最软弱、最孤独、最受苦的圣徒需要什么祝福——只要对他们真正有益，这位”奇妙的策士”必会保证赐下！
He combines in His adorable Person, all that a sinner requires:
祂在祂可敬的身位中，集合了罪人所需的一切：
a Heart tender enough to love;
一颗足够温柔去爱的心；
and a Hand strong enough to save.
和一只足够强壮去拯救的手。
He is the “Mighty God!” How He delights in the exercise of His omnipotence in behalf of His own people-in ruling over their interests, and overruling their trials for their eternal good!
祂是”全能的神！”祂是多么喜悦为祂的子民施展祂的全能-掌管他们的利益，并主宰他们的试炼以成就他们永恒的福祉！
My enemies are many, their name is Legion:
我的敌人众多，他们的名字是军团：
Satan, the great adversary;
撒旦，那大敌对者；
heart traitors-bosom sins;
心中的叛徒-怀中的罪；
the world, and the world’s trinity: “the lusts of the flesh, and the lusts of the eye, and the pride of life!”
世界，以及世界的三位一体：”肉体的情欲，眼目的情欲，并今生的骄傲！”
But He who is for me-is greater far than all that can be against me!
但那位站在我这边的-远比一切敌对我的更大！
Believer, are you in trial, beaten down with a great fight of afflictions-like the disciples, out in a midnight of storm, buffeting a sea of trouble?
信徒啊，你是否在试炼中，被巨大的苦难之战击倒-如同门徒们，在暴风雨的午夜，与困扰之海搏斗？
Fear not! When the tempest has done its work, when the trial has fulfilled its mission-the voice which hushed the waters of old, has only to give forth the omnipotent mandate, “Peace, be still!” and immediately there will be a great calm!
不要惧怕！当风暴完成其工作，当试炼完成其使命时-那曾平静古时之水的声音，只需发出全能的命令：”平静吧！安静吧！”立刻就会出现大平静！
The “all power” of Jesus!-what a pillow on which to rest my aching head; disarming all my fears, and inducing thoughts of sweetest comfort, consolation, and joy!
耶稣的”全能”！-是何等安息我疲惫头颅的枕头；解除我所有的恐惧，带来最甜美的安慰、慰藉与喜乐！
