Oct 10【每日活水】耶/和/华必为你们争战,你们要安静!

 

出埃及记 14:10~20

10 法老临近的时候,以色列人举目看见埃及人赶来,就甚惧怕,向耶/和/华哀求。

11 他们对摩西说:「难道在埃及没有坟地,你把我们带来死在旷野吗?你为什么这样待我们,将我们从埃及领出来呢?

12 我们在埃及岂没有对你说过,不要搅扰我们,容我们服事埃及人吗?因为服事埃及人比死在旷野还好。」

13 摩西对百姓说:「不要惧怕,只管站住!看耶/和/华今天向你们所要施行的救/恩。因为,你们今天所看见的埃及人必永远不再看见了。

14 耶/和/华必为你们争战;你们只管静默,不要作声。」

15 耶/和/华对摩西说:「你为什么向我哀求呢?你吩咐以色列人往前走。

16 你举手向海伸杖,把水分开。以色列人要下海中走干地。

17 我要使埃及人的心刚硬,他们就跟着下去。我要在法老和他的全军、车辆、马兵上得荣耀。

18 我在法老和他的车辆、马兵上得荣耀的时候,埃及人就知道我是耶/和/华了。」

19 在以色列营前行走  SHEN 的使者,转到他们后边去;云柱也从他们前边转到他们后边立住。

20 在埃及营和以色列营中间有云柱,一边黑暗,一边发光,终夜两下不得相近。

10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord.

11 They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?

12 Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”

13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.

14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.

16 Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.

17 I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen.

18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”

19 Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them,

20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.

 

内容观察

1.以色列人因为看见什么,而感到非常惧怕?(10节)

2.摩西如何安抚抱怨连连的以色列人?(13~14节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.摩西为什么叫以色列人不要惧怕埃及军队,而是要安静?
 

个人感受

4.经/文提到我们要在危急关头信靠 SHEN 的大能和帮助,对此我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾因事情不顺利、内心失去喜乐而埋怨 SHEN ?

6.为了不再试图倚靠自己解决问题,转而全然信靠 SHEN 的带领,我决定要怎么做?

向耶/和/华哀求(10节):意为“向耶/和/华求助”,但是更接近“不信靠 SHEN 而发出哀号”。
你们要安静(14节):指静默、不作声,以此表明救/赎是出自上/帝主权的工作。
SHEN 的使者(19节):指 SHEN 所差派的天使。

灵/修指南

以色列人看见法老的军队追来,就陷入极大的恐惧(10节)。他们忘记 SHEN 带领他们出埃及的恩典,反而怪罪和抱怨摩西,甚至想念在埃及为奴的日子(11~12节)。可是,摩西没有与他们争论,反而安慰他们、激发他们的盼望和勇气。摩西告诉百姓“不要怕,要站稳”,是要百姓积极信靠 SHEN ,因为耶/和/华将为他们争战(13~14节)。摩西全然信靠 SHEN 的大能和帮助,因为全盘情势都在 SHEN 的统管之中。 SHEN 要透过拯救以色列人和接下来的过红海事件,来审判法老的军队,最终让 TA 的名得着荣耀(17节)。换作是现在,每当我们身处令人绝望的光景,若能打开信心的眼睛举目仰望 SHEN , SHEN 就必向我们施行拯救。
 

内室dao告

愿我在令人绝望的光景打开信心的眼睛仰望 SHEN ,真实经历拯救的恩典。
