每日箴言
分裂磐石
“他在旷野分裂磐石,多多地给他们水喝,如从深渊而出。” - 诗 78:15
灵修
家人相聚的时候,很多家庭都会重复讲述某些百听不厌的故事的。数年前我和家人经历了驾车进入北极圈的刺激旅程,我们喜欢回想。那一次我们因河水泛滥滞流在极北的地方,而神帮助我们,衪为我们预备了一个懂得怎样穿越那里的河水的当地人,他把我们带到河流安全的那一边。我们永远不会忘记我们是怎样获救的。
同样,以色列民也永远不会忘记,神如何在旷野供应食水给他们。这件事成为故事的关键,是他们非常重要的回忆;除非你知道神藉着在旷野分裂磐石来供应水给他们喝这件事,不然,你并没有真正认识神子民的故事。
在这件事上,我们学了重要的两课:我们的神是一位满有能力的神,祂施展异常的作为来表达祂的爱;我们也需要彼此述说神的作为来建立我们的信心,并且深信衪必定会继续作工。
你或许正感到被现状所困,可能是因为无力应付的环境或是缺乏资源 — 看来似乎完全没有出路。今天就求神在你的生命中施展大能,也敞开自己去接受祂慈爱的回应 — 或许是出乎你意料之外的回应,就像以色列民从磐石得水那样。
祷告
主啊,你为你子民做了那么多奇妙的事情,求你帮助我们记着并且知道,你必定会继续做工和建立我们的,我们赞美你的名,阿们!
普世佳音每日箴言
Splitting Rocks
"He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them water as abundant as the seas." - Psalm 78:15
Devotion
Many families have stories they tell again and again when they get together. My family had a great adventure driving up to the Arctic Circle a few years ago, and we like to recall the time we were stranded by a big flood there in the remote north. God helped us by providing a local man who knew how to navigate those waters to bring us to the safe side of the river. We will never forget how we were rescued.
Similarly, the people of Israel never forgot how God provided them water in the desert. It became a defining part of their story, a memory of such great importance that you couldn’t really know the story of God’s people unless you knew that God provided water for them by splitting rocks in the wilderness.
Here we find two important lessons: our God is a powerful God who does extraordinary acts of love; and we need to tell each other what God has done in order to build up our faith and have confidence that he will continue to act.
Maybe you feel stuck where you are, perhaps by overwhelming circumstances or a lack of resources—and there seems to be no way out. Ask God today to act powerfully in your life, and open yourself to receive his loving response—maybe even in an unexpected way, as the Israelites received water from a rock.
Prayer
Lord, you have done so many wonderful things for your people. Help us remember and know that you will keep working and building us up. We praise your name! Amen.
