靈命日糧    Daily  Bread    2010-12-29   
讀經 : 申命記  4 : 1~10    Deuteronomy  4 : 1~10
4:1 「以色列人哪,現在我所教訓你們的律例典章,你們要聽從遵行,好叫你們存活,得以進入耶和華─你們列祖之 神所賜給你們的地,承受為業。
Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them , that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
4:2 所吩咐你們的話,你們不可加添,也不可刪減,好叫你們遵守我所吩咐的,就是耶和華─你們 神的命令。
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
4:3 耶和華因巴力毗珥的事所行的,你們親眼看見了。凡隨從巴力毘珥的人,耶和華─你們的 神都從你們中間除滅了。
Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
4:4 惟有你們專靠耶和華─你們 神的人,今日全都存活。
But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

4:5 我照著耶和華─我 神所吩咐的將律例典章教訓你們,使你們在所要進去得為業的地上遵行。
Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
4:6 所以你們要謹守遵行;這就是你們在萬民眼前的智慧、聰明。他們聽見這一切律例,必說:『這大國的人真是有智慧,有聰明!』
Keep therefore and do them ; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
4:7 哪一大國的人有 神與他們相近,像耶和華─我們的 神、在我們求告他的時候與我們相近呢?
For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for ?

4:8 又哪一大國有這樣公義的律例典章、像我今日在你們面前所陳明的這一切律法呢?
And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
4:9 「你只要謹慎,殷勤保守你的心靈,免得忘記你親眼所看見的事,又免得你一生這事離開你的心;總要傳給你的子子孫孫。
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
4:10 你在何烈山站在耶和華─你 神面前的那日,耶和華對我說:『你為我招聚百姓,我要叫他們聽見我的話,使他們存活在世的日子,可以學習敬畏我,又可以教訓兒女這樣行。』
Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
全年讀經:
撒迦利亞書9-12章 啟示錄20章
      在早期,網際網路仍然是雜亂無章的時候,網路開發工程師都有各自的設定,結果造成了許多問題。例如:有些東西在這台電腦上的畫面很好,但是在另一台電腦卻完全無法顯示。對於這難操控的網際網路,工程師們把它比喻成早期美國西部的蠻荒之地,因為當時在那裡法律幾乎是不存在的。於是,為了讓雜亂無章的網路變得有秩序,工程師們開始彼此商議,擬定一套統一的規格。
      這件事提醒了我們,為何當以色列人離開埃及時,訂立律例典章是如此重要(申命記4章1節)。如果沒有律例典章,以色列就會無法無天;反之,有了上帝的律法,他們就有了完善的系統能夠遵循,可以向別的國家顯示上帝的偉大(8節)。
    今天,為了要在這個充滿罪性、自私和混亂的世界建立秩序,基督徒必須委身於基督的律法
加拉太書  6 : 2    Galatians  6 : 2
你們各人的重擔要互相擔當,如此,就完全了基督的律法。
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

馬太福音  5 : 17    Matthew  5 : 17   
莫想我來要廢掉律法和先知。我來不是要廢掉,乃是要成全。
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
當我們委身於基督的律法,同時愛他人就像上帝愛我們一樣,我們就能彼此以和平相待,這樣能讓這個世界看到上帝的崇高與偉大。JAL
上帝呼召我們向前,
耶穌寶血得以救贖;
彰顯祂愛活出生命,
廣傳信息恩典滿溢。Whittle


因著我們對上帝和他人的愛,這個世界會知道上帝的偉大。
