奇妙上帝

聖經閱讀：出埃及記15:1-18
2015年10月25日(日)

在今天閱讀的經文中，我們看到一首摩西和以色列人向上帝唱的歌，他們為什麼要唱這首歌呢？因為上帝才剛帶領他們過紅海並且消滅了埃及軍隊。

想像你就在那裡，跟著以色列人一起走在乾地、越過紅海，你有沒有看到兩邊的海水豎起的高牆？你有沒有看見魚和其他海中生物在你身旁的水中游泳？這一定是一個令人驚嘆又害怕的場面！

在以色列人到達海的另一邊之後，他們看到緊追在後的埃及軍隊，心中一定非常害怕。以色列人看到上帝使紅海恢復原狀的時候，一定感到很驚奇。埃及軍隊後來都被淹沒了。

我們絕對不能忘記上帝是多麼的強大和神聖！

第11b節告訴我們：「在諸神中有像你的嗎？誰像你神聖威嚴？誰像你行神蹟奇事？」 －JB*

「上主是我堅強的保護者；他拯救了我。他是我的上帝，我要頌讚他；他是我父親的上帝，我要歌頌他。」
出埃及記15:2

禱告：親愛的主，我願信靠祢來照顧我。奉耶穌的名，阿們！

(林威妮譯)

Amazing God

Bible Reading: Exodus 15:1-18

Sunday, October 25, 2015

In our Bible Reading today we find a song that Moses and the Israelites sang to God. Why did they sing this song? Because God had just led them through the Red Sea and destroyed the Egyptian army.

Just imagine that you were there with the Israelites walking on dry ground through the Red Sea. Do you see the great wall of water on either side? Do you see the fish and other sea creatures swimming in the water around you? How awesome and terrifying that must have been!

After the Israelites reached the other side of the sea, they must have been frightened to see the Egyptian army coming after them. The Israelites must have been amazed as God caused the Red Sea to flow back as it was before. The Egyptian army was drowned.

We must never forget how powerful and holy God is! Verse 11b tells us, “No, there are no gods like you — you are wonderfully holy! You are amazingly powerful! You do great miracles!” —JB*

“The Lord is my strength. He saves me, and I sing songs of praise to him. He is my God, and I praise him. He is the God of my ancestors and I honor him.” Exodus 15:2

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I want to trust You to take care of me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
