Nov 06【每日活水】 SHEN 在前面为我们争战,带领我们得胜

 

出埃及记 23:20~33

应许和指示
20「看哪,我差遣使者在你前面,在路上保护你,领你到我所预备的地方去。
21 他是奉我名来的;你们要在他面前谨慎,听从他的话,不可惹他,因为他必不赦免你们的过犯。
22「你若实在听从他的话,照着我一切所说的去行,我就向你的仇敌作仇敌,向你的敌人作敌人。
23「我的使者要在你前面行,领你到亚摩利人、赫人、比利洗人、迦南人、希未人、耶布斯人那里去,我必将他们剪除。
24 你不可跪拜他们的 SHEN ,不可事奉他,也不可效法他们的行为,却要把 SHEN 像尽行拆毁,打碎他们的柱像。
25 你们要事奉耶/和/华-你们的  SHEN ,他必赐福与你的粮与你的水,也必从你们中间除去疾病。
26 你境内必没有坠胎的,不生产的。我要使你满了你年日的数目。
27 凡你所到的地方,我要使那里的众民在你面前惊骇,扰乱,又要使你一切仇敌转背逃跑。
28 我要打发黄蜂飞在你前面,把希未人、迦南人、赫人撵出去。
29 我不在一年之内将他们从你面前撵出去,恐怕地成为荒凉,野地的兽多起来害你。
30 我要渐渐地将他们从你面前撵出去,等到你的人数加多,承受那地为业。
31 我要定你的境界,从红海直到非利士海,又从旷野直到大河。我要将那地的居民交在你手中,你要将他们从你面前撵出去。
32 不可和他们并他们的 SHEN 立约。
33 他们不可住在你的地上,恐怕他们使你得罪我。你若事奉他们的 SHEN ,这必成为你的网罗。」
God’s Angel to Prepare the Way
20 “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.
21 Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him.
22 If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.
23 My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.
24 Do not bow down before their gods or worship them or follow their practices. You must demolish them and break their sacred stones to pieces.
25 Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you,
26 and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.
27 “I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.
28 I will send the hornet ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of your way.
29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you.
30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.
31 “I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the desert to the Euphrates River. I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out before you.
32 Do not make a covenant with them or with their gods.
33 Do not let them live in your land or they will cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly be a snare to you.”
 

内容观察

1. SHEN 说,将迦南各族赶出去的关键是什么?(22节)

2.关于赶出迦南各族, SHEN 定下了怎样的时间和疆界?(29,31节)

 

思考与默想

 

3. SHEN 为什么不准迦南各族和以色列人住在同一块土地上?
 

个人感受

4.看到 SHEN 为了不让以色列人事奉偶像,以致要求赶出迦南各族,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我何时曾经历 SHEN 奇妙的计划和作为?

6.为了摆脱阻挡信心成长的圈套,我决定要怎么做?

我要差遣使者在你前面(20节):意指天使,代表 SHEN 的同在并显明 SHEN 的计划和统管。
凡你所到的地方(27节):代表 SHEN 要将 TA 在旷野保护以色列人的消息传开,使得迦南各族只要看到他们就惧怕战兢。
瘟疫(28节):和合本译为“黄蜂”,代表致命的灾祸和痛苦,或在战场上具有压倒性的军事力量。

灵/修指南

SHEN 命令以色列人征服迦南,而且在他们抵达迦南之前, SHEN 就应许要差遣使者在他们前面引导他们(20节),使他们能在适当的时间,以适当的方式进入迦南。 SHEN 之所以提前为他们制定详尽的征服计划和边界(29,31节),是因为 TA 体恤 TA 所爱的百姓,不容让那地的居民对他们造成任何属/灵上的影响;倘若以色列人不除去那地的居民,将来可能会转而事奉他们的 SHEN 明,以致陷人生命的网罗。因此, SHEN 向以色列人强调,要将迦南各族从他们的面前完全地赶出去。如今,我们同样也要将一切的争战,交托在那位体恤我们的 SHEN 手中,在 TA 所安排的时间及地界上,活出平安和得胜。
 

内室dao告

愿我将一切的争战交托在那位掌管时间和空间的 SHEN ,靠 TA 活出平安和得胜。
