Sep01【每日活水】信靠神的应许

申命记1:1-8

摩西回忆
1以下所记的是摩西约旦河东的旷野,疏弗对面的亚拉巴,就是巴兰陀弗拉班哈洗录底撒哈中间,向以色列众人所说的话。
2何烈山经过西珥山,加低斯‧巴尼亚,有*十一天的路程
3埃及第四十年十一月初一日,摩西照耶和华藉着他所吩咐以色列人的话都晓谕他们。 
4那时,他已经击杀了住希实本亚摩利西宏,和住以得来亚斯他录巴珊。 
5摩西约旦河东的摩押地讲律法说: 
6「耶和华我们的 神在何烈山晓谕我们说:*你们在这山上住的日子够了; 
7要起行转到亚摩利人的山地和靠近这山地的各处,就是亚拉巴、山地、高原、南地,沿海一带迦南人的地,并黎巴嫩山又到幼发拉底大河。 
8如今我将这地摆在你们面前;你们要进去得这地,就是耶和华向你们列祖亚伯拉罕以撒雅各起誓应许赐给他们和他们后裔为业之地。」
The Command to Leave Horeb
1These are the words Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan—that is, in the Arabah—opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth and Dizahab. 2(It takes eleven days to go from Horeb to Kadesh Barnea by the Mount Seir road.)
3In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the Lord had commanded him concerning them. 4This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, and at Edrei had defeated Og king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth.
5East of the Jordan in the territory of Moab, Moses began to expound this law, saying:
6The Lord our God said to us at Horeb, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain. 7Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev and along the coast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates. 8See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land the Lord swore he would give to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and to their descendants after them.”

内容观察

1. 摩西宣讲话语的地点在哪里?对象是谁?(1, 3节)2. 摩西和以色列人击败了哪些对手?(4节)

 

思考与默想

 

3. 在摩西领以色列人过约旦河前,为何神让他们先取得战绩?
 

个人感受

4. 神不仅和百姓立约,更是会信实履约,也会制造让百姓更加信靠祂的明证,对此你有何感受?
 

决心与应用

5. 最近你是否有透过神的帮助取得胜利的经验?

6. 神会在每一天制造让我们更加信靠祂的明证,对此你要如何回应祂?

十一天的路程(2节):从何烈山到加低斯·巴尼亚所需的时间,以色列人却花费38年。

你们在这山上住的日子够了(6节):以色列人在何烈山住了将近11个月(出19:1;民10:11)。

灵修指南

即将进入应许地之前,摩西向第二代子孙传讲了神的命令(1~3节)。摩西的宣讲是以神对自己百姓的应许为根据,并经由历史为见证(6~8节)。事实上,以色列百姓因不顺服神而在旷野漂流,对于能得迦南地的信心早已被消磨殆尽,但神仍透过摩西向以色列人下达攻取迦南地的命令,并让他们击败亚摩利王西宏和巴珊王噩,以此明白神的应许并非抽象或遥不可及,而是真实的应许(4节)。神让自己的百姓经历得胜的确据,重拾对祂的信靠,让他们明白战争的成败都取决于神。如同未曾受过军事训练的大卫却战胜歌利亚,或是耶稣十字架上的复活等,神希望借此让我们明白,信靠与仰望祂是得胜的关键。尽管我们微小,但神却是全知全能的,因此我们要时常谨记祂是那位信实的神,信靠祂必领我们在每天的属灵争战中得胜。
 

内室祷告
