聖經閱讀：申命記31:14-18 現代中譯本|合和本
2013年10月30日(三)
今天的經文中，上帝告訴摩西以色列民將違背祂並且敬拜假神。摩西已經帶領以色列民很多年了，他必定很傷心知道上帝的子民會背離祂。在第17節，上帝說祂會離棄以色列民並且拒絕幫助他們，其他幾個聖經翻譯本則說，上帝會「掩面」不顧以色列民。 為什麼上帝會掩面不顧祂的子民呢？如果我們罪惡深重又悖逆上帝，上帝就會離棄我們；如果我們背離上帝又頑固不敬拜祂，祂就會掩面不顧我們。但是記得，上帝永遠愛我們，並且耐心等候我們回轉歸向祂。 也許你知道有人已經違背了上帝，今天就為這個人禱告，幫助他們回到事奉上帝的生活。 —DF 「許多災難要臨到他們身上，他們就知道這是因為我─他們的上帝不再與他們同在。那時，我不幫助他們；因為他們行邪惡的事，去拜別的神明。」 申命記 31:17b-18
禱告：上帝，我願天天跟從祢、服事祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

God’s Face (3)
Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 31:14-18

In our Bible verses today, God told Moses that the Israelites would rebel against Him and worship false gods. Moses led the Israelites for many years. He must have felt sad to know that God’s people would turn away from Him. In verse 17, God said that He would leave the Israelites and refuse to help them. Several other Bible translations say that God would “hide His face” from the Israelites. Why would God hide His face from His people? God will turn away from us if we are sinful and rebellious. If we turn away from God and stubbornly refuse to worship Him, He will hide His face from us. But remember that God always loves us and waits patiently for us to return to Him. Maybe you know some person who has rebelled against God. Pray for that person today. Help them come back to a life of serving God. —DF “Then they will say, ‘These bad things happened to us because our God is not with us.’ And I will refuse to help them because they have done evil and worshiped other gods.” Deuteronomy 31:17b-18
PRAYER: God, I want to follow and serve You every day. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |
