出埃及記14章21-23;26-31節
神的小僕人
經文:
21 摩西向海伸杖,耶和華便用大東風,使海水一夜退去,水便分開,
22 以色列人下海中走乾地,水在他們的左右作了牆垣。
23 埃及人追趕他們,法老一切的馬匹、車輛,和馬兵都跟着下到海中。
26 耶和華對摩西說:「你向海伸杖,叫水仍合在埃及人並他們的車輛、
27 摩西就向海伸杖,到了天一亮,海水仍舊復原。
28 水就回流,淹沒了車輛和馬兵。那些跟着以色列人下海法老的全軍,
29 以色列人卻在海中走乾地;水在他們的左右作了牆垣。
30 當日,耶和華這樣拯救以色列人脫離埃及人的手,
31 以色列人看見耶和華向埃及人所行的大事,就敬畏耶和華,
過紅海的故事,大家都很熟悉,今天的經文再次提醒我們,
今天的經文還有一點值得我們注意,就是在神施行大能的時候,
禱告:
天父上帝,祢是大有能力的,
Exodus 14:21-23, 26-31
The story of the exodus and the dividing of the Red Sea was a familiar story. The passage today teaches us the mighty power of God. He can divide the sea and make pillars of water to protect the Israelites so that they can cross the river and walk on dry land.
Yet while reading through the passage, I notice a very important point that I used to overlook. Twice God asked Moses to stretch his hands. Why so? To respond with faith, we need to act. Moses represented the people to respond in faith with action and in the end they were safely rescued, while the army of pharaoh was buried in the sea.
God is Almighty, do we believe in Him and act in faith?
