Sep 27【每日活水】与罪隔绝,不重蹈覆辙

 

出埃及记 9:27~35

27 法老打发人召摩西、亚伦来,对他们说:「这一次我犯了罪了。耶/和/华是公义的;我和我的百姓是邪恶的。

28 这雷轰和冰雹已经够了。请你们求耶/和/华,我就容你们去,不再留住你们。」

29 摩西对他说:「我一出城,就要向耶/和/华举手dao告;雷必止住,也不再有冰雹,叫你知道全地都是属耶/和/华的。

30 至于你和你的臣仆,我知道你们还是不惧怕耶/和/华  SHEN 。」

( 31 那时,麻和大麦被雹击打;因为大麦已经吐穗,麻也开了花。

32 只是小麦和粗麦没有被击打,因为还没有长成。)

33 摩西离了法老出城,向耶/和/华举手dao告;雷和雹就止住,雨也不再浇在地上了。

34 法老见雨和雹与雷止住,就越发犯罪;他和他的臣仆都硬着心。

35法老的心刚硬,不容以色列人去,正如耶/和/华藉着摩西所说的。

27 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said to them. “The Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong.

28 Pray to the Lord, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go; you don’t have to stay any longer.”

29 Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands in prayer to the Lord. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth is the Lord’s.

30 But I know that you and your officials still do not fear the Lord God.”

31 (The flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley had headed and the flax was in bloom.

32 The wheat and spelt, however, were not destroyed, because they ripen later.)

33 Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the Lord; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.

34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts.

35 So Pharaoh’s heart was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.

 

内容观察

1.当雹灾造成了严重毁坏,法老对摩西和亚伦说了什么?(27~28节)

2.在摩西dao告使雹灾止息之后,法老的态度有什么变化?(34节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.法老为什么在认罪之后,看到灾祸止息就又再次变心,重蹈覆辙?
 

个人感受

4.看到法老因遭难而认罪,苦难一结束却又再次犯罪,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾在认罪之后又再次犯罪?

6.为了不再重拾老我,而是果断悔改,我决定要怎么做?

这一次我犯罪了(27节):这并非法老发自内心的悔改,而是为了躲避雹灾的托词。
只是小麦和粗麦没有被摧毁,因为它们还没有长成(32节):亚麻和大麦虽被摧毁,但是尚未长成的小麦和粗麦没有被摧毁,这也助长了法老心里再次刚硬。

灵/修指南

法老紧急派人去召摩西和亚伦来,对他们坦白说自己犯了罪,并同意要放以色列人走(27~28节)。之前的几次灾祸,因为没有直接危及生命,法老也就完全没有改变心意。然而,雹灾带来的破坏极为严重,使得他期望尽快解决问题。只是等雹灾止住,法老就又再犯罪,心里刚硬(34节)。这表明法老并不是真心悔改,而是自欺欺人,等情况稍有好转,就又重蹈覆辙。我们有时也会迫于现实的压力,为了尽快解决问题而作出自欺欺人的dao告,而一旦问题解决,就又重拾老我,以致信/仰生活没有力量。可是, SHEN 不希望我们认罪只是应付了事,也不愿我们的信/仰生活没有力量,他希望我们与罪和老我隔绝,借着真实的悔改、生命得着改变,活出MEN TU的力量和信心。
 

内室dao告

愿我与罪和老我完全隔绝,借着真实的认罪悔改,活出MEN TU的力量和信心。
