Oct 21【每日活水】从神蒙福的方法

申命记12:20~28

20「耶和华-你的 神照他所应许扩张你境界的时候,你心里想要吃肉,说:『我要吃肉』,就可以随心所欲地吃肉。
21 耶和华-你 神所选择要立他名的地方若离你太远,就可以照我所吩咐的,将耶和华赐给你的牛羊取些宰了,可以随心所欲在你城里吃。
22 你吃那肉,要像吃羚羊与鹿一般;无论洁净人不洁净人都可以吃。
23 只是你要心意坚定,不可吃血,因为血是生命;不可将血与肉同吃。
24 不可吃血,要倒在地上,如同倒水一样。
25 不可吃血。这样,你行耶和华眼中看为正的事,你和你的子孙就可以得福。
26 只是你分别为圣的物和你的还愿祭要奉到耶和华所选择的地方去。
27 你的燔祭,连肉带血,都要献在耶和华-你 神的坛上。平安祭的血要倒在耶和华-你 神的坛上;平安祭的肉,你自己可以吃。
28 你要谨守听从我所吩咐的一切话,行耶和华-你 神眼中看为善,看为正的事。这样,你和你的子孙就可以永远享福。」
20 When the Lord your God has enlarged your territory as he promised you, and you crave meat and say, “I would like some meat,” then you may eat as much of it as you want.
21 If the place where the Lord your God chooses to put his Name is too far away from you, you may slaughter animals from the herds and flocks the Lord has given you, as I have commanded you, and in your own towns you may eat as much of them as you want.
22 Eat them as you would gazelle or deer. Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat.
23 But be sure you do not eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.
24 You must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.
25 Do not eat it, so that it may go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
26 But take your consecrated things and whatever you have vowed to give, and go to the place the Lord will choose.
27 Present your burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord your God, both the meat and the blood. The blood of your sacrifices must be poured beside the altar of the Lord your God, but you may eat the meat.
28 Be careful to obey all these regulations I am giving you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

灵修指南

神透过摩西,向即将进入应许地的以色列百姓赐下律例。因为从此他们将不再流浪,但若想在这片神赐予的迦南地上安然生活,就必须遵守神的一切要求。在旷野时,除了会幕里作为祭物的肉之外,不能吃别的肉,但进入迦南后,无论何处都可吃肉(21节)。只是,神特别吩咐不可吃肉的血,主要是希望能与异教信仰有所区分,而且血象征生命,对神而言有赎罪的用意(23~24节)。如此,从日用饮食到向神所献的燔祭,凡遵从神旨意的人都必享福(28节),因为这是神对顺服自己旨意之人的报偿。神的话语不是遥不可及或某种宗教的仪文形式而已,而是与我们的日常生活密切相关,所以让我们在生活中也在乎神的吩咐和心意。
 

内室祷告

让我的日常生活能在神的面前蒙悦纳,符合的心意。
