創世記十六章4-6節
神的小僕人
經文:
4 亞伯蘭與夏甲同房,夏甲就懷了孕,他見自己有孕,就小看他的主母。
5 撒萊對亞伯蘭說:我因你受屈,我將我的使女放在你懷中,他見自己有了孕就小看我,願耶和華在你我中間判斷。
6 亞伯蘭對撒萊說:使女在你手下,你可以隨意待他,撒萊苦待他,他就從撒萊面前逃走了。
撒萊為了得著兒子,安排她的使女夏甲為亞伯蘭的妾,結果夏甲懷孕了,並因此輕看撒萊。這三個人都在自食其果。撒萊自作主張,結果夏甲得子,反而藐視她。亞伯蘭懦弱,讓他的妻子任意妄為待夏甲;而夏甲忘記了自己的位份,她的態度惡劣,以致得到惡劣的對待。
我們的人生常不也是如此嗎?我們為了想得到某些東西,用盡了方法,結果自己吃苦;我們為了某些結局,堅持執着,結果傷害了别人或是自己被傷害了。
求主幫助我們,放下執着,放下自己的方法,全心依靠主。
Genesis 16:4-6
Sarai used her own way to get a son. She let her Egyptian slave Hagar to sleep with her husband. Hagar then got pregnant and she started to have an attitude towards Sarai. Abram was weak and he permitted Sarai to treat Hagar in her own way. As the story unfolds they all suffered in their own way.
Life is the same. We put things in our own hands, we want to pursue things in our own way, and at the end we suffer and get hurt. When are we going to learn how to submit to God and let Him lead the way?
Lord help us to let go of our ways and to follow Your way.
