申命記32章45-47節
神的小僕人
經文:
45 摩西向以色列眾人說完了這一切的話。
46 又說:我今日所警教你們的,你們都要放在心上,要吩咐你們的子孫謹守遵行這律法上的話。
47 因為這不是虛空與你們無關的事,乃是你們的生命,在你們過約但河要得為業的地上,必因這事日子得以長久。
摩西對以色列人重申上帝對他們的吩咐,摩西提醒以色列人,神的話不單是警告、是提醒、是改變我們的命令,更是我們的生命。 許多人輕看聖經的教導,以為這些只是導人向善而已,摩西強調這是我們的生命,意思是說聽從和叛逆是會帶來影響生命的不同結果。今天我們願意聽神的話,就得着神的同在和指引,否則我們便進入滅亡。
禱告: 天父,求您保守我們不輕看神的話和教導,因為這不單是我們生命的指向,這就是生命。求主將祢的話刻在我們的心裡。奉耶穌的名禱告,阿們。
Deuteronomy 32:45-47
After a lengthy exhortation, Moses told the Israelites that the teaching of the Lord was not just warning, prevention from sins and cleansing our souls, they were life. It is an important statement and we should think deeper into it. People may think that the teachings of the Lord direct us to good and moral deeds. Yet Moses pointed out otherwise. It is more than moral teaching but about life and death. For obedience brings life and defiance causes eternal death. Never take the words of God lightly for our response to them brings us life or destruction.
