God at work!
神在工作！
(James Smith, “Nothing Too Hard for God!” 1864)
(詹姆斯·史密斯，”对神没有难成的事！”1864年)
“There is nothing too hard for You!” Jeremiah 32:17
“在祢没有难成的事！”耶利米书32:17
There is nothing too hard for God to EFFECT.
对神来说没有任何难以成就的事。
“I know that You can do everything.”
“我知道祢无所不能。”
“Is anything too hard for Me, says the Lord?”
“耶和华说：’有什么事向我太难呢？'”
“He does according to His will among the armies of Heaven, and the inhabitants of the earth.”
“祂在天上的万军和地上的居民中，随祂的意旨行事。”
“He works all things after the counsel of His own will.”
“祂随着自己旨意的计划行作万事。”
Nothing is too hard for God — no change in providence, however it may appear improbable, or impossible to us. He could bring water out of the flinty rock. He could supply quail to satisfy the wants, and gratify the lusts of His people in the desert. He could feed Elijah for twelve months by ravens, and for two years and a half more by a handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in the widow’s cruse. He could inundate Samaria with plenty — in the midst of famine and fearful desolation. If He wills it . . .
对神来说没有难成的事——无论在我们看来多么不可能或不可思议的护理改变。祂能使水从坚硬的磐石中流出。祂能供应鹌鹑满足祂百姓在旷野中的需要和欲望。祂能藉着乌鸦供养以利亚十二个月，又用一把瓶中的面和寡妇瓶中的一点油供养他两年半之久。祂能在饥荒和可怕的荒凉中使撒玛利亚物资丰富。若祂愿意……
the fire shall not burn the three Hebrew youth,
火不能烧灼三个希伯来少年，
nor the lions injure Daniel,
狮子也不能伤害但以理，
nor death hold Lazarus in the tomb.
死亡也不能将拉撒路扣留在坟墓中。
What He has done — He can do; for He is immutable. And if necessary for the glory of His name — He will do it, for He will not allow His name to be polluted.
祂过去所行的—祂现在仍能行；因为祂永不改变。若为了祂名的荣耀所需要—祂必会行，因为祂必不容许祂的名被玷污。
“Providence” is simply God at work — at work for . . .
“护理”就是神在动工—祂在动工为要…
the accomplishment of His decrees,
成就祂的旨意，
the fulfillment of His promises,
实现祂的应许，
the manifestation of His character, and
彰显祂的品格，并
the present and eternal welfare of His people.
为祂子民现今和永恒的福祉。
He can . . .
祂能…
give whatever we need,
赐给我们一切所需，
do whatever we need, and
为我们行一切所需，并
glorify Himself in giving to us, and working for us!
在赐予我们和为我们动工时荣耀祂自己！
