1-11節--如何與上司相處

尼希米記 第2章

如何與上司相處

你若有事要向王提出請求，但你明知王如果不高興，他甚至可以下令把你斬首，你會怎樣做呢？尼希米向王提出請求之前，他用了四個月的時間在神面前祈禱。他曾經求神使他「現今亨通」(一11)，卻發現仍不是時機，所以，他便唯有繼續禱告，靜候合適的時間。

尼希米雖然記掛著耶路撒冷的境況而心中悲傷，但他卻一直不讓自己面帶愁容地侍候王。但終於在某一天，他可能已無法壓抑，所以露出了愁容，引來王對他關心的詢問：「你是否有甚麼憂愁的事？你今天看來十分愁煩。」經這一問，尼希米的傷痛便仿如崩堤般難以壓抑，他便把實情清清楚楚地告訴王。

王再詢問他說：「你打算怎樣做呢？你有甚麼計劃呢？」尼希米在第4節的反應是：「於是我默禱天上的神」。王可能鑑於尼希米的優秀工作表現，不想他離開皇宮太久。這是給每位基督徒的重要提醒。所有上司都肯定會善待忠心能幹的下屬。

尼希米已經仔細構思了重建城牆的計劃，算出了工程所需的時間、所需的材料和施工的程序。對神的信靠並沒有排除慎重的計劃。我們在禱告的當兒，可同時作出計劃。然後，當神的時間到了，我們就知道該如何踏出第一步。

王同意了尼希米的要求，批准他回去。尼希米在啟程之前，再向王提出了兩個請求：第一是賜他詔書，讓地方官員准許他在他們管轄的地方經過；第二是求王讓他使用國家的林木。神可以使用異教的王來供應用尼希米所需用的一切。

可是，來到第10節，我們卻聽到另一種聲音。每當神的僕人要為神工作的時候，就總會遇到反對的人。因此，遇到反對的聲音，未必表示你所做的事情不合乎神的旨意。但你或許應該先停下來，重新檢視自己是否走在神的旨意中。如果你肯定的話，就該下定決心，勇往直前，專心做神的工作，像尼希米一樣。

HOW TO GET ALONG WITH THE BOSS

How do you approach a king who might cut off your head if he does not like what you are asking for? Nehemiah spent about four months in prayer before he made his first request to the king. He had said, Today, in 1:11 but the opportunity had not come for all that time. In the meantime Nehemiah kept praying. Now the time to speak suddenly arrived.

Nehemiah had tried not to allow his sadness about Jerusalem to show on his face, but one day it just broke through. The king asked, Whats the matter with you? You look really sad today?. Then all the emotions of the past few months flooded out as Nehemiah told his story.

The king said, What do you want to do? What have you got in mind?. Notice again what Nehemiah did (v.4). So I prayed. It would seem that the king did not want him to be gone too long because Nehemiah had a good testimony as a worker. That is very important for any Christian. Certainly a boss will do more for a good worker.

Nehemiah had been planning and working out how long it would take, what he would need and how the job could be done. Faith never shuts out planning. We can plan as well as pray. Then when the Lord moves, we will know what to do next.

The king agreed to all that Nehemiah asked for. Nehemiah then added two more requests. He would need letters to the various governors along the borders of each country. Also he would need timber out of the kings forests. God saw that all that Nehemiah needed was supplied by the heathen king.

But a different note is heard in verse 10. Whenever a servant of God tries to move ahead, there will always be someone who will oppose him. Opposition does not necessarily mean that you are out of the will of God. It may throw you back on God to make sure you are in his will. When that is affirmed, you must go on with the job God has given you to do, just as Nehemiah did.
