[今日經文 Today’s Reading: 民數記 Numbers 24-26] 1 瘟疫過了之後,耶和華對摩西和亞倫祭司的兒子以利亞撒說: 2 「你們要將以色列全會眾,按他們的父家,凡二十歲以上能出去為以色列打仗的,計算總數。」 1 After the plague, the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron, the priest, 2 “Take a census of all the congregation of the people of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers’ houses, all in Israel who are able to go to war.” 民數記 Numbers 26:1-2Continue reading “2.15.23 我們在數什麼?

2.9.23 所見即所得 What You See is What You Get
[今日經文 Today’s Reading: 民數記 Numbers 11-13] 32 於是探子中有人向以色列人散佈有關所窺探之地的謠言,說:「我們所走過、所窺探之地是吞沒居民之地,並且我們在那裏所看見的百姓都身材高大。 33 我們在那裏看見巨人,就是巨人中的亞衲族人。我們在自己眼中像蚱蜢一樣,而在他們眼中,我們也確是這樣。」32 So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height. 33 And thereContinue reading “2.9.23 所見即所得 What You See is What You Get”
2.8.23 號聲 Trumpet Sound
[今日經文 Today’s Reading: 民數記 Numbers 9-10] 耶和華吩咐摩西說: 2 「你要用銀子做兩枝號筒,把它們錘出來,給你用來召集會眾,拔營起行。… 9 當你們在自己的土地上,與欺壓你們的敵人打仗時,要用號筒吹出大聲。你們就在耶和華—你們的 神面前得蒙記念,也必蒙拯救脫離仇敵。 10 在快樂的日子,節期和初一,獻燔祭與平安祭的時候,你們要吹號筒,在你們的 神面前作為紀念。我是耶和華—你們的 神。The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Make two silver trumpets. Of hammered work you shall make them, and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for breaking camp. … 9 And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that youContinue reading “2.8.23 號聲 Trumpet Sound”
2.6.23 “Berakh” 的神 The God of “Berakh”
[今日經文 Today’s Reading: 民數記 Numbers 5-6] 22 耶和華吩咐摩西說: 23 「你要吩咐亞倫和他兒子說:你們要這樣為以色列人祝福,對他們說:24 『願耶和華賜福給你,保護你。25 願耶和華使他的臉光照你,賜恩給你。26 願耶和華向你仰臉,賜你平安。』27 「他們要如此奉我的名為以色列人祝福;我也要賜福給他們。」22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them,24 The Lord bless you and keep you;25 the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;26 the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.27 “So shall they put my name uponContinue reading “2.6.23 “Berakh” 的神 The God of “Berakh””

1.18.23 當你的孩子問起 When Your Children Ask
[今日經文 Today’s Reading: 出埃及記 Exodus 12-14] 14 日後,你的兒子問你說:『這是甚麼意思?』你就說:『耶和華用大能的手將我們從埃及為奴之家領出來。 15 那時法老固執,不肯放我們走,耶和華就把埃及地所有頭生的,無論是人是牲畜,都殺了。因此,我把一切頭生的公的牲畜獻給耶和華為祭,卻將所有頭生的兒子贖出來。 16 這要在你手上作記號,在你額上作經匣,因為耶和華用大能的手將我們從埃及領出來。』」14 And when in time to come your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ you shall say to him, ‘By a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery. 15 For when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, bothContinue reading “1.18.23 當你的孩子問起 When Your Children Ask”

[今日經文 Today’s Reading: 出埃及記 exodus 8-11] 8 於是摩西和亞倫被召回來見法老。法老對他們說:「去,事奉耶和華—你們的 神吧!但要去的是哪些人呢?」 9 摩西說:「我們要帶着年老的和年少的同去,要帶着我們的兒子和女兒,以及我們的羊羣牛羣一起去,因為我們要向耶和華守節。」8 So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. And he said to them, “Go, serve the Lord your God. But which ones are to go?” 9 Moses said, “We will go with our young and our old. We will go with our sons and daughters and with our flocks and herds, for we mustContinue reading “1.17.23 讓我所有的百姓去* Let ALL My People Go*”
1.13.23 新的眼鏡 New Eyeglasses
[今日經文 Today’s Reading: 創世記 Genesis 45-47] 5 現在,不要因為把我賣到這裏而憂傷,對自己生氣,因為 神差我在你們以先來,為要保全性命。 6 現在這地的饑荒已經二年了,還有五年不能耕種,沒有收成。 7 神差我在你們以先來,為要給你們在世上存留餘種,大施拯救,保全你們的性命。 8 這樣看來,差我到這裏來的不是你們,而是 神。他又使我如同法老之父,作他全家之主,和埃及全地掌權的人。5 And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are yet five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest. 7 And God sent meContinue reading “1.13.23 新的眼鏡 New Eyeglasses”
1.11.23 我們不孤單 We Are Not Alone
[今日經文 Today’s Reading: 創世記 Genesis 39-41] 2 約瑟在他埃及主人的家中,耶和華與他同在,他是一個通達的人。 3 他主人見耶和華與他同在,又見耶和華使他手裏所辦的事都順利,… 21 但耶和華與約瑟同在,向他施恩,使他在監獄長的眼前蒙恩。… 23 任何交在約瑟手中的事,監獄長一概不察,因為耶和華與約瑟同在,耶和華使他所做的都順利。2 The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. 3 His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands…. 21 But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave himContinue reading “1.11.23 我們不孤單 We Are Not Alone”
1.10.23 向世代顯現的神 The God Who Appears to the Generations
[今日經文 Today’s Reading: 創世記 Genesis 35-38] 9 雅各從巴旦‧亞蘭回來, 神又向他顯現,賜福給他。 10 神對他說:「你的名原是雅各,從今以後不要再叫雅各,你的名要叫以色列。」於是, 神就叫他的名為以色列。9 God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. 10 And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel. 創世記 Genesis 35:9-10 在整本聖經中,我們讀到上帝主動向人顯現,比如亞伯拉罕(15:1、17:1)、以撒(26:2)和雅各(35:9)。 神是亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的神,祂不僅向亞伯拉罕顯現,而且在族長之後的每一代人中,祂都向個人顯現,重新確認與亞伯拉罕所立的約。 每一代人都需要與上帝相遇,並被提醒上帝的聖約。 如果上帝努力向每一代人顯現,那麼祂的教會又如何呢? 教會和父母需要向上帝學習,向下一代“顯現”,這樣我們的下一代也能在上帝的聖約中。 這需從父親帶領全家築壇(敬拜)神,並除掉外邦的神明開始(創世記35:2-4)。 我們都對下一代負責。Continue reading “1.10.23 向世代顯現的神 The God Who Appears to the Generations”
