申命記30章11-16節
神的小僕人
 
經文:
11 我今日所吩咐你的誡命,不是你難行的,也不是離你遠的。
12 不是在天上,使你說:誰替我們上天取下來,使我們聽見可以遵行呢?
13 也不是在海外,使你說:誰替我們過海取了來,使我們聽見可以遵行呢?
14 這話卻離你甚近,就在你口中,在你心裡,使你可以遵行。
15 看哪,我今日將生與福,死與禍,陳明在你面前。
16 吩咐你愛耶和華你的神,遵行他的道,謹守他的誡命,律例,典章,使你可以存活,人數增多,耶和華你神就必在你所要進去得為業的地上,賜福與你。
 
當摩西吩咐以色列人,要他們遵守神的誡命,他特別的強調,神的吩咐並不是難守的,神的吩咐其實在我們心裏面,意思就是說,只要我們心中有神,自然就願意跟從祂的教導。
 
許多人認為神太專制了,但這段經文告訴我們跟從神是蒙恩得福的途徑,我們會得着益處。就像我們為什麼叫孩子吃健康的食物呢?為的就是希望孩子能健康成長。
 
禱告:
神啊!求祢將祢的律法刻在我們心裡。祢的誡命是我們得著福樂的途徑,願我們都甘心跟從。我們靠自己常不能遵守,但靠著那加給我們力量的耶穌基督就能,感謝主!奉耶穌的名禱告,阿們。
 
Deuteronomy 30:11-16
 
When Moses asked the Israelites to keep the commandments of God, he emphasised that they are not difficult to comply. The commandments are actually in our hearts and in our mouth for when we fear God, His words and commandments are in us.
 
People think that God is just too strict and dictating.  However Moses told us that the commandments are for our good because when we keep them, we will be blessed and led into peace and rest.  As parents, we urge our children to eat healthy food for their sake.
 
God loves and wants to bless us with His way, may we willingly follow.
