Sep15【每日活水】使他们遵守耶和华的约

 

申命记4:9~14

9「你只要谨慎,殷勤保守你的心灵,免得忘记你亲眼所看见的事,又免得你一生这事离开你的心;总要传给你的子子孙孙。
10你在何烈山站在耶和华-你 神面前的那日,耶和华对我说:『你为我招聚百姓,我要叫他们听见我的话,使他们存活在世的日子,可以学习敬畏我,又可以教训儿女这样行。』
11那时你们近前来,站在山下;山上有火焰冲天,并有昏黑、密云、幽暗。
12耶和华从火焰中对你们说话,你们只听见声音,却没有看见形像。
13他将所吩咐你们当守的约指示你们,就是十条诫,并将这诫写在两块石版上。
14那时耶和华又吩咐我将律例,典章教训你们,使你们在所要过去得为业的地上遵行。」
9Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.
10Remember the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children.”
11You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.
12Then the Lord spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice.
13He declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets.
14And the Lord directed me at that time to teach you the decrees and laws you are to follow in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.

内容观察

1.摩西为提醒以色列百姓入迦南后不离开神,吩咐他们要做什么?(9-10节)
2.神赐下十诫并写在两块石版上后,吩咐摩西和以色列百姓要做什么?(13~14节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.为什么神赐下律法给以色列百姓,并吩咐他们要在得为业的地上遵行?
 

个人感受

4.看到神为了与以色列子子孙孙保持这种关系而赐下诫命,你有何感想?
 

决心与应用

5.神的话语在你的生活中发挥什么影响力?若要竭力保守自己不离开神,你认为需要怎么做?

创12;1~2″耶和华对亚伯兰说:‘你要离开本地、本族、父家,往我所要指示你的地去。我必使你成为大国,我必赐福给你,使你的名为大;你要使别人得福。

灵修指南

神透过亚伯拉罕与以色列百姓立约(参创12:1~2),赐下莫大的恩典。但神晓得以色列百姓的软弱,为了延续这约,亲自赐下律法给以色列百姓,并要他们将这律法传给后代子孙(9~10节)。神赐律法的目的不是为控制自己的百姓,而是要维系自己与百姓的关系。以色列百姓透过遵行神所赐的诫命,保守自己不破坏与神的关系(13节)。这吩咐不只要求第一代人遵守,也透过摩西吩咐这些将进人迦南的第二代以色列人,在进人应许地后,也要如此遵守(14节)。今日,神借着耶稣基督与我们立了新约,应允不变的爱和永生,我们对待祂的话又有多认真呢?盼望我们成为能听又能行的门徒,竭力遵守与实践主的吩咐。
 

内室祷告

求主帮助我认真对待神的话,持守与祂之间不变的关系。
