出埃及記三章1-10節
神的小僕人
經文:
1 摩西牧養他岳父米甸祭司葉忒羅的羊群;一日領羊群往野外去,
2 耶和華的使者從荊棘裡火焰中向摩西顯現。摩西觀看,不料,
3 摩西說:我要過去看這大異象,這荊棘為何沒有燒壞呢?
4 耶和華神見他過去要看,就從荊棘裡呼叫說:摩西!摩西!他說:
5 神說:不要近前來。當把你腳上的鞋脫下來,
6 又說:我是你父親的神,是亞伯拉罕的神,以撒的神,雅各的神。
7 耶和華說:我的百姓在埃及所受的困苦,我實在看見了,
8 我下來是要救他們脫離埃及人的手,領他們出了那地,
9 現在以色列人的哀聲達到我耳中,我也看見埃及人怎樣欺壓他們。
10 故此我要打發你去見法老,
我們都很熟悉摩西蒙召的這段經文,但每次我閱讀,可看見當中的不同教導。摩西遇見神,就俯伏在地,不敢看上帝,
今天我們怎樣看自己呢? 那一個不是罪人呢?當我們自己省察,認清自己,
禱告:
親愛的天父,被神選上蒙召是榮幸與福氣,
Exodus 3:1-10
This is a passage regarding the calling of Moses. Every time I read it, I gain new insights. Moses met God and he hid his face, afraid to look at God for he knew what kind of a man he was. We need to confess we are sinners before we will be called by God. Our merciful God calls upon us to save and rescue for He hears the suffering of people. Moses was then called to bring the Hebrews out of captivity and suffering in Egypt.
How do we see ourselves? Don’t we know our sinful nature and have we brought them to God and deal with them? It is essential before we can serve our Lord. Moses has been in the wilderness for 40 years and I think all his desires to gain and possess are gone. This is where God will call His servants, including you and me to serve and save.
To be called is a blessing, and it starts with knowing who we are and be in the presence of the Lord.
