W1 2009-02-23 (出16:1-16:35)
經文: 出埃及記 16:35
默想: 主耶和華,你對於以色列人的隨便抱怨長存忍耐的心。你那信實的愛,從天上降下嗎哪供應以色列人在曠野流浪四十年之久。感謝主。
題目: 耶和華賞賜嗎哪給以色列人,卻有一些規定,這些規定有何屬靈意義呢?

『多收也沒有餘,少收的也沒有缺。』--神為每人所預備的都是他所需要的。想要多要,對他沒有用,也不會給他。不敢多拿的,卻很需要的,就補足他的需要。
回覆刪除『不許留到早晨。』--每日神都有供給,不要為明天憂慮。
『第六日要收雙倍,第七日要安息』--為了安息,神讓以色列人第六日所收的,可以存放到第七日。也說明第七日不用去收了,因為不會有嗎哪在野地。
神要試驗以色列人是否聽話。而以色列人一直在作蛇對夏娃說的那句話『神豈是真說?』
--神豈是真說?只能收一俄梅珥?我就多收點,我就少收點,看看事情會如何?多收的人或許是未雨綢繆。但遵行神的話更得喜悅,只為神是供應的神。少收的人或許是為別人著想。但神的恩典既然給你,就該欣然的領受,推郤不受似乎沒什麼意義,因為別人的需要神自然會供給。
--神豈是真說?不能留到早晨。我就留一些到明早,看看會如何?--所收的,都是一個人夠的份量,該吃不吃,留下來發臭。真的是賠了夫人又折兵。所以還是要物盡其用,自己用不到就給有需要的人,留在自己的身邊,只能成為廢物一件。
--神豈是真說?第七日沒有嗎哪。每天早晨就在野地出現,第七日或許就如前六日一樣也會出現嗎哪,或許有些沒有被收走的。我再出去看看吧!
似乎神對我們的要求,就只是『有自由意志的我們,是不是願意放下自己的選擇,選擇聽從耶和華的話而行?』
God’s commands to the Israelites are shown in the following verses:
回覆刪除(Exo: 18) …He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little. Each one gathered as much as he needed.
(Exo: 29)....everyone is to stay where he is on the seventh day; no one is to go out.
The Sabbath to the Lord
(Exo: 32)…Take an omer of manna and keep it for the generations to come.
These instructions were to test Israelites and to see whether they would be obedient or not. But it seems that God was very disappointed. “How long will you refuse to keep my commands and my instructions?” (Exo: 28)
It dawned on me that my grumblingS against God must be heard clearly. Shame on me. I should not have asked too much because God has prepared measured portion for me. Greediness will only lead me to nothing. In addition, I should spare more time on Sunday for worshipping God. In Jhn 6:48-51, God compared Himself to manna. He is the living bread that came down from heaven, so getting close to God ought to be my priority.
草戊尚土 牧師和各位俱樂部的兄姐,平安:
回覆刪除謝謝 Yuze 姐和 Yi-ting 姐的分享,我想『 神的恩典夠用』在今天的經文裡變成一個屬靈的考驗,其實有時我也會抱怨 神為什麼沒有給我更多亨通的祝福,錢好像也沒賺的比那些異教徒來的多,工作和投資似乎也沒那麼順利,今天看了以色列人向摩西的抱怨就好像看到自己,要真的能放下自己的慾望來順服上帝卻是那麼困難,但是我相信主能給我帶來改變,如同窯匠壓、捏、挖、補、揉、塑的做工來塑造他的器皿,讓我在屬靈上也能有轉化形塑,但願主能憐憫我,讓我明白我雖然所擁有的不多,但我並不感到缺乏,讓我學習在信靠中產生愛慕,在愛慕中願意侍奉,在侍奉中學習順服,順服上帝的帶領,而不是追逐個人的利益。
卯同學 敬上
大家平安
回覆刪除嗎哪--神顧念且供應我們的需要,及時'足夠!
感恩!
Dear all, Peng An,
回覆刪除Manna was a free gift from heaven. But Yahweh would like to use this free gift to test Israelites' obedience to His order. It seemed that Israelite people didn't trust Yahweh's promise that He would provide for them their daily bread. So some of then would try to save some for future need. But the saving went sour and ingested by worms.
I thought this was a lesson about obedience, not a lesson against saving
