出埃及記14章5-14節
神的小僕人
經文:
5 有人告訴埃及王說:百姓逃跑,法老和他的臣僕就向百姓變心,說:
6 法老就預備他的車輛,帶領軍兵同去。
7 並帶著六百輛特選的車和埃及所有的車,每輛都有車兵長。
8 耶和華使埃及王法老的心剛硬,他就追趕以色列人,
9 埃及人追趕他們,法老一切的馬匹,車輛,馬兵,與軍兵,
10 法老臨近的時候,以色列人舉目看見埃及人趕來,就甚懼怕,
11 他們對摩西說:難道在埃及沒有墳地,你把我們帶來死在曠野嗎?
12 我們在埃及豈沒有對你說過,不要攪擾我們,容我們服事埃及人嗎?
13 摩西對百姓說:不要懼怕,只管站住,
14 耶和華必為你們爭戰,你們只管靜默,不要作聲。
這是一段很寶貴的經文,
接著摩西向以色列人說了一番話,彷彿也是對今天的我們說的,
禱告:
神啊!環境和周邊的朋友會變,但我們的神信實不變。 當生活不如意,面對難擔的擔子,
Exodus 14:5-14
This is a precious passage. The Pharaoh and the Egyptians changed their mind and pursued the Israelites for they did not want to lose the profit of their free labour. The Israelites while after getting out of Egypt, saw the enemies and were afraid. They blamed Moses and focused on the enemies, forgetting what the Lord has done for them.
Moses spoke to them to comfort and assure them, as he spoke to us today. He was confident that the Lord would deliver and all they had to do was to wait and be still. Likewise when life is against us and we are dealing with challenges, we need to trust the Lord who promises to deliver.
Friends and environments may vary but our Lord is faithful and reliable. Do not be afraid, be still, and wait upon the Lord.
