三年讀經默想與題目 (草戊尚土) 090213


W5 2009-02-13 (耶17:1-18:10)

經文: 耶利米書 18:6
耶和華說:以色列家啊,我待你們,豈不能照這窯匠弄泥嗎?以色列家啊,泥在窯匠的手中怎樣,你們在我的手中也怎樣。

默想: 慈悲的上帝,你是窯匠,我是你手中的泥團。如果你發現在我的生命中有出現什麼不討你喜悅的地方,求你趁著泥還沒乾透之前,重新和泥,重新再捏造,讓我一直不斷的接受你的塑造,直到基督成形在我的生命裡。

  1. 大家平安

    "窯匠用泥做的器皿,在他手中做壞了,他又用這泥另做別的器皿;窯匠看怎樣好,就怎樣做。"18:4

    越柔順的泥,就越快完成;太僵硬無法被塑造的...有時要先壓壞'再加水和泥重做;果真無可救藥時,只好丟棄不用了.

    求神賜我"可塑性"的恩典,阿們!

  2. “Like the clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand.” (Jeremiah 18:6) Yet, human beings are not pots, so our own will leads us to go astray once in a while. We may prefer to be shaped in a particular form, which is not appreciated or promised by God, and then we suffer. I have been taking the lesson of “obedience.”

    May God help me humble myself so as to be lifted up and saved. Amen!

  3. 草戊尚土 牧師和各位俱樂部的兄姐,平安:

    剛好今天才收到一封月蓮姐去鶯歌燒窯的eMail,原來花了350角(也就是35元)也能得到很大的快樂。

    泥土長相平凡卻充滿不可限量的可能,隨著窯匠壓、捏、挖、補、揉、塑的動作,可以任意成形,經火燃燒後,由柔軟變剛硬,最後成為窯匠合用的器皿。

    或許上帝也是這樣看著我們的改變。

    感謝主。

    卯同學 敬上

  4. 牧師的分享很感人。
    窯匠手中的泥,本來是沒有特殊之處。但透過窯匠的精心掐造,就成了有用、精美、獨一的瓦器。沒有成形時,窯匠用心的塑形,加點水調和、加點泥充實、多出的去掉、不好看的地方修改。泥啊!泥啊!你沒有抗議窯匠的揉捏,你沒有拒絕窯匠的修改,所以你才能在窯匠手中成為他眼中的精品。
    願我自己的生命,如此泥,甘心為神的塑造,成為神手中的精品。

  5. Dear JBC, Peng An,
    Different kinds of clay would need different approaches of molding. The methods of education should match the special characteristics of the students.

    Dear YiTing, Peng An,
    Very interesting to read your comment, and human was not all the same as the clay. According to Genesis, God created human from the clay and the breath. So we would have double characteristics.

    Dear Mou, Peng An,
    Yeah, in addition to the tender act of molding, there must be the process of baking in high heat, so that the shape could be formed and remained.

    Dear YuZe, Peng An,
    Right, God would like to form and reform our lives, if we would submit to His actions and disciplines.
