Oct 15【每日活水】亲近神话语的生活

申命记11:13~25

13「你们若留意听从我今日所吩咐的诫命,爱耶和华-你们的 神,尽心尽性事奉他,
14他必按时降秋雨春雨在你们的地上,使你们可以收藏五谷、新酒,和油,
15也必使你吃得饱足,并使田野为你的牲畜长草。
16你们要谨慎,免得心中受迷惑,就偏离正路,去事奉敬拜别神。
17耶和华的怒气向你们发作,就使天闭塞不下雨,地也不出产,使你们在耶和华所赐给你们的美地上速速灭亡。
18「你们要将我这话存在心内,留在意中,系在手上为记号,戴在额上为经文;
19也要教训你们的儿女,无论坐在家里,行在路上,躺下,起来,都要谈论;
20又要写在房屋的门框上,并城门上,
21使你们和你们子孙的日子在耶和华向你们列祖起誓、应许给他们的地上得以增多,如天覆地的日子那样多。
22你们若留意谨守遵行我所吩咐这一切的诫命,爱耶和华-你们的 神,行他的道,专靠他,
23他必从你们面前赶出这一切国民,就是比你们更大更强的国民,你们也要得他们的地。
24凡你们脚掌所踏之地都必归你们;从旷野和黎巴嫩,并幼发拉底大河,直到西海,都要作你们的境界。
25必无一人能在你们面前站立得住;耶和华-你们的 神必照他所说的,使惧怕惊恐临到你们所踏之地的居民。
13So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul—
14then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil.
15I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
16Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.
17Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the Lord is giving you.
18Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
19Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
20Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates,
21so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.
22If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him and to hold fast to him—
23then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.
24Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
25No one will be able to stand against you. The Lord your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.

秋雨和春雨(14节):“秋雨”通常在10月底至12月初,能够湿润夏天干燥的土地,适合种植谷物;“春雨”则在4月至5月初,对谷物能否成熟收割有决定性的作用。

灵修指南

摩西嘱咐以色列百姓,进入迦南后要谨慎自己的心,避免受到诱惑转去事奉别神,否则将遭受灾祸与地的咒诅(16~17节)。因此,摩西劝勉以色列百姓,若想持守应许地的祝福,就必须聆听、存记神的话,并在生活中切实遵行。无论行走、躺卧都要时刻把神的诫命记在心上,并且在生活各处都要谈论着神的话,借此提醒与帮助他们(18~20节)。因为摩西在旷野生活时,深刻体会到他们是何等时常忘记神的命令,然而离了神,我们什么都不能做,因为属神百姓的生活核心,就在于遵行神的话且按祂的旨意来活,这也是全卷申命记最主要的内容。摩西反复提及,就是为让百姓牢记此点。我们是否也有亲近神话语的习惯,并让自己活在神的话语中呢?
 

内室祷告

求神让祢的话语充满在我生命里的每个角落。
