Sep 14【每日活水】以神大能的手信实守约

出埃及记 6:1~9

1 耶和华对摩西说：「现在你必看见我向法老所行的事，使他因我大能的手容以色列人去，且把他们赶出他的地。」
神呼召摩西

2 　神晓谕摩西说：「我是耶和华。

3 我从前向亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各显现为全能的　神；至于我名耶和华，他们未曾知道。

4 我与他们坚定所立的约，要把他们寄居的迦南地赐给他们。

5 我也听见以色列人被埃及人苦待的哀声，我也记念我的约。

6 所以你要对以色列人说：『我是耶和华；我要用伸出来的膀臂重重地刑罚埃及人，救赎你们脱离他们的重担，不做他们的苦工。

7 我要以你们为我的百姓，我也要作你们的　神。你们要知道我是耶和华－你们的　神，是救你们脱离埃及人之重担的。

8 我起誓应许给亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的那地，我要把你们领进去，将那地赐给你们为业。我是耶和华。』」

9 摩西将这话告诉以色列人，只是他们因苦工愁烦，不肯听他的话。

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country.”

2 God also said to Moses, “I am the Lord.

3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the Lord I did not make myself fully known to them.

4 I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners.

5 Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.

6 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.

7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

8 And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’ ”

9 Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and harsh labor.

内容观察

1.神应许摩西，说他将看见什么事？（1节）

思考与默想

3.神为什么向摩西介绍祂是耶和华，又说祂要透过膀臂和审判来拯救祂的百姓？

个人感受

4.神垂听祂百姓的哀声、记念与他们先祖所立的约，并以信实守约，对此我有什么感想？

决心与应用

5.我何时曾经历神垂听我的恳求，并以信实来回应我？

6.为了在任何景况中，都顺从那位以大能的手信实守约的神，照祂的话语生活，我决定要怎么做？

大能的手（1节）：象征神的权能。

灵修指南

神告诉摩西，祂要借由祂的手，迫使法老放以色列人走（1节）。接着，神向摩西介绍祂是“耶和华”（2,6节）。从前神向亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各显现，但是没有告诉他们，祂的名字是“耶和华”。神在何烈山上首次向摩西显现时，却介绍自己是“自有永有的”，也就是“耶和华”。神的名字极其圣洁、尊贵，唯有祂的百姓才能呼求;神将祂的名字告诉以色列百姓，又对他们说，祂听见了以色列人因受奴役而发出的哀求，而祂要向他们坚立自己的约（4~5节）。神不仅用祂大能的手拯救自己的百姓脱离劳役，更应许将迦南美地赐给他们为业。盼望我们为神的信实及守约献上感恩，紧紧抓住祂的信实，并且顺从祂的旨意。

内室祷告

愿我信靠那位信实守约、成就应许的神，勇敢地走在顺从的道路上。
