Oct 11【每日活水】神将水分开

出埃及记 14:21~31

21 摩西向海伸杖，耶和华便用大东风，使海水一夜退去，水便分开，海就成了干地。

22 以色列人下海中走干地，水在他们的左右作了墙垣。

23 埃及人追赶他们，法老一切的马匹、车辆，和马兵都跟着下到海中。

24 到了晨更的时候，耶和华从云火柱中向埃及的军兵观看，使埃及的军兵混乱了；

25 又使他们的车轮脱落，难以行走，以致埃及人说：「我们从以色列人面前逃跑吧！因耶和华为他们攻击我们了。」

26 耶和华对摩西说：「你向海伸杖，叫水仍合在埃及人并他们的车辆、马兵身上。」

27 摩西就向海伸杖，到了天一亮，海水仍旧复原。埃及人避水逃跑的时候，耶和华把他们推翻在海中，

28 水就回流，淹没了车辆和马兵。那些跟着以色列人下海法老的全军，连一个也没有剩下。

29 以色列人却在海中走干地；水在他们的左右作了墙垣。

30 当日，耶和华这样拯救以色列人脱离埃及人的手，以色列人看见埃及人的死尸都在海边了。

31 以色列人看见耶和华向埃及人所行的大事，就敬畏耶和华，又信服他和他的仆人摩西。

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided,

22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea.

24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.

25 He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.”

26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.”

27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.

28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived.

29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

30 That day the Lord saved Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.

31 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.

灵修指南

今天的经文记载了神将红海分开的著名神迹。摩西照着神的吩咐向海伸手，神就用强劲的东风，使海水在一夜之间退去，以色列人就走在干地上过了红海（21~22节）。法老的军兵也连同他们的马匹和战车，一起下到海中。然而，一到破晓，神从云柱、火柱中观看埃及的军兵，使他们大起混乱（24节）。他们发现耶和华为以色列人作战，就试图逃跑，结果神把他们推入海中，使他们尽都葬身海底（27节）。以色列人看见耶和华向埃及人所施展的大能，就敬畏耶和华，又信服祂和祂的仆人摩西（31节）。如今，创造天地万物的神也向我们施展祂的大能，将我们从仇敌的手中拯救出来。盼望我们持续信靠那位使我们从苦难中得着拯救的神，勇敢跨出信心的步伐。

内室祷告

愿我信靠将我从仇敌手中拯救出来的神，勇敢跨出信心的步伐。
