Sep 11【每日活水】克服软弱，全然顺从

出埃及记 4:18~31

摩西返回埃及
18 于是，摩西回到他岳父叶忒罗那里，对他说：「求你容我回去见我在埃及的弟兄，看他们还在不在。」叶忒罗对摩西说：「你可以平平安安地去吧！」

19 耶/和/华在米甸对摩西说：「你要回埃及去，因为寻索你命的人都死了。」

20 摩西就带着妻子和两个儿子，叫他们骑上驴，回埃及地去。摩西手里拿着　 SHEN 的杖。

21 耶/和/华对摩西说：「你回到埃及的时候，要留意将我指示你的一切奇事行在法老面前。但我要使他的心刚硬，他必不容百姓去。

22 你要对法老说：『耶/和/华这样说：以色列是我的儿子，我的长子。

23 我对你说过：容我的儿子去，好事奉我。你还是不肯容他去。看哪，我要杀你的长子。』」

24 摩西在路上住宿的地方，耶/和/华遇见他，想要杀他。

25 西坡拉就拿一块火石，割下他儿子的阳皮，丢在摩西脚前，说：「你真是我的血郎了。」

26 这样，耶/和/华才放了他。西坡拉说：「你因割礼就是血郎了。」

27 耶/和/华对亚伦说：「你往旷野去迎接摩西。」他就去，在　 SHEN 的山遇见摩西，和他亲嘴。

28 摩西将耶/和/华打发他所说的言语和嘱咐他所行的 SHEN 迹都告诉了亚伦。

29 摩西、亚伦就去招聚以色列的众长老。

30 亚伦将耶/和/华对摩西所说的一切话述说了一遍，又在百姓眼前行了那些 SHEN 迹，

31 百姓就信了。以色列人听见耶/和/华眷顾他们，鉴察他们的困苦，就低头下拜。

Moses Returns to Egypt

18 Then Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Let me return to my own people in Egypt to see if any of them are still alive.”
Jethro said, “Go, and I wish you well.”

19 Now the Lord had said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill you are dead.”

20 So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand.

21 The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.

22 Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son,

23 and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’ ”

24 At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him.

25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said.

26 So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)

27 The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he met Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him.

28 Then Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had sent him to say, and also about all the signs he had commanded him to perform.

29 Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites,

30 and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people,

31 and they believed. And when they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.

内容观察

1.摩西在米甸生活了四十年之后， SHEN 叫他去哪里？（2~3，6~7节）

2.摩西在回埃及的路上住宿时，发生了什么事？（24~26节）

思考与默想

3. SHEN 为什么想要杀死摩西？

个人感受

4. SHEN 希望摩西作为以色列的领袖，顺服自己的命令，给众人作榜样，对此我有什么感想？

决心与应用

5.我何时曾轻忽 SHEN 的要求和命令，宽于待己？

6.为了克服软弱且全然顺从 SHEN ，我决定要怎么做？

我的儿子（23节）：指耶/和/华的长子以色列。
血的新郎（25节）：指丈夫摩西因儿子受割礼流血而从危机中得着拯救，成了“因血得救的新郎”。割礼（26节）：割去男性包皮的仪式，是 SHEN 和以色列百姓立约的记号。

灵/修指南

摩西领受了从 SHEN 而来的呼召，决定回到埃及拯救以色列人，并获得了岳父叶特罗的同意（18节）。摩西手里拿着 SHEN 的杖，带着妻子和两个儿子回埃及地去（20节）。 SHEN 在摩西回埃及的路上向他显现了两次，一次是为了告诉摩西在埃及将要做的事（21~23节），另一次是因为摩西的儿子没有行割礼而要杀摩西（24节），幸好他的妻子西坡拉及时出手帮助（25~26节）。 SHEN 之所以想要杀摩西，是因为摩西没有给儿子行立约的割礼。摩西作为领袖， SHEN 对他的要求更为严格，倘若他不能全然顺从，不论是他作为领袖的职分或是性命，都会被 SHEN 收回。这表明在 SHEN 的眼中，领袖需要背负更大的责任和忠诚，我们作为 JI DU 的MEN TU，也要竭力克服软弱，表现出更高水准的顺从及信心，如此才能行走在使/命之路上。

内室dao告

愿我活出 JI DU MEN TU的样式，全然顺从 SHEN 的要求，讨 SHEN 喜悦。
