全新樂活讀經默想 110509


Pharaoh Army in Red Sea

W1 2011-05-09 (14)

經文: 出埃及記 14:4 我要使法老的心剛硬,他要追趕他們,我便在法老和他全軍身上得榮耀;埃及人就知道我是耶和華。」於是以色列人這樣行了。

默想: 在這段經文中我們發現有一種很可怕可以彰顯上帝榮耀,並且深刻認識上帝的方法。就是如同摩西帶領以色列人出埃及時的法老王,他不願意聽從並順服耶和華藉著他的僕人摩西所吩咐的,讓以色列人出去曠野,服侍上帝。以致於耶和華就使法老王的心硬,在人類歷史上留下十大災害,以及埃及全軍被淹死在紅海中的記錄。他們親自體驗到耶和華的權能與公義的審判,同時也讓全世界都看到耶和華的能力,彰顯了上帝的榮耀。法老王卻無法經驗上帝的慈悲與赦免的恩典與榮耀。祈求上帝保守我的心,不要像法老一樣。

題目: 14:10-31 以色列人的恐懼是什麼?摩西如何帶領以色列人面對?你有何看法與學習?

The Israelites were afraid to be caught by the Egyptians and they might thus die in the wilderness. Ignorance of the existence of the Lord led to their worry about the future.



Moses comforted them by saying, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD……The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be still” (Ex 14:13-14). Later, after Israel saw the great work which the LORD did against the Egyptians, they feared the LORD and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.



Moses must have felt intense pressure in leading a large crowd of non-believers in the Lord but he made it. Not only the Israelites but also Moses thought the journey tough. Yet, never let the fear of striking out get in our way. The LORD is watching us in the pillar of fire and of cloud and will definitely save us from the hand of our enemy.

Israelis worried out what Egyptians pursued them and they might die in the wilderness.

Moses said to the people, “the LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be still." And Israelis saw the great work which the LORD did against the Egyptians, and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.”

Keep in mind whenever the LORD does not give up us, as footprint in the beach.

大家平安

「以色列人是昂然無懼地出埃及」(8) 到「以色列人舉目看見埃及人趕來,就甚懼怕」(10) 以色列人的信心建立在「順境」,「逆境」一起,信心就瓦解。

摩西對百姓說:「不要懼怕,只管站住!看耶和華今天向你們所要施行的救恩。」(13) 摩西帶領以色列人將信心建立在耶和華神身上。

本人很會暈車,有人建議「眼睛要看遠方」,信心的旅程大概也是如此。

認識神,會體會到祂的慈愛與大能,更會堅固對神的信心,走過後再回頭看所經歷的悲歡離合,無一不是神的恩典,無一不值得歌頌。
