出埃及記五章1-9節
神的小僕人
經文:
1 後來摩西、亞倫去對法老說:「耶和華-以色列的神這樣說:『
2 法老說:「耶和華是誰,使我聽他的話,容以色列人去呢?
3 他們說:「希伯來人的神遇見了我們。求你容我們往曠野去,
4 埃及王對他們說:「摩西、亞倫!你們為甚麼叫百姓曠工呢?
6 當天,法老吩咐督工的和官長說:
7「你們不可照常把草給百姓做磚,叫他們自己去撿草。
8 他們素常做磚的數目,你們仍舊向他們要,一點不可減少;
9 你們要把更重的工夫加在這些人身上,叫他們勞碌,
剛硬的心可以是很可怕的,法老就是一個最明顯的例子。
對以色列人來說,摩西本來是來拯救他們的,
禱告:
天父,求祢挪去我們剛硬的心,知道掌管一切,我們可以完全信靠祢,但要照著祢的時間和方式。求主幫助我們在信靠祢的過程中,更認識祢的特質,也願意預備自己為祢要我們去做的事做好準備。奉耶穌的名禱告,阿們。
Exodus 5:1-9
The hardened heart can be horrible, just like the case of pharaoh. His response to Moses’ request to let the Jews leave Egypt shows that he did not fear God. Even worse he further commanded to add the Israelites harder work and further burden by urging them to gather straws to make bricks as required.
The Israelites expected Moses to rescue them and yet the outcome was contrary. Like use there are times we plead the Lord but situation does not improve. We complain and lose heart but it is more our problems as we have our own expected outcome and time table. We cannot trust God full heartedly.
Lord help us to trust You fully for You are sovereign.
