上帝留下的記號
你為我招聚百姓,我要叫他們聽見我的話,⋯⋯可以學習敬畏我。—申命記4章10節
當我那成年的兒子面臨困境時,我提醒他,當年他父親失業時,上帝不斷看顧和供應我們的需要。我也講述在我母親不敵白血病而過世時,上帝如何堅固我們家並賜下平安。我還特別提到聖經許多印證上帝信實的事蹟,向他保證上帝必會信守承諾。我帶領兒子回顧過去上帝在我們家留下的記號,提醒他無論處在高山或低谷,上帝總是信實可靠。無論我們在痛苦或歡樂中,上帝的同在、慈愛與恩典都充足有餘。
儘管我想聲稱這個增強信心的方法是自己想出來的,但上帝早已吩咐以色列人要分享祂的作為,以激發後代子孫對祂的信心。上帝在以色列人的生命中留下記號,他們透過分享這些事蹟,可以讓子孫記住過去上帝的作為,堅定信心。
以色列人跟隨上帝,並見證了上帝如何持守祂的應許(申命記4章3-6節)。祂一直都垂聽並回應眾人的禱告(7節)。以色列人與子孫們一起歡欣和追憶上帝(9節),並將這位獨一真神所默示和持守的聖言教導他們(10節)。
當我們講述偉大上帝的威嚴、恩惠以及祂對我們親密的愛時,我們同時也藉著確認祂恆久的信實,使我們自己和別人對上帝的信心能更加堅定。
誰曾與你分享上帝在他生命中的作為,
使你的靈命成長呢?你可用哪些創意的方式,
與子孫分享上帝在你家族中的信實和大愛?
至高權能的上帝,感謝祢在前輩的信仰旅程中留下記號,
讓我能堅定地倚靠祢,走在信心的道路上。

為了鼓勵以色列人遵守上帝的律法,繼續忠於耶和華,摩西提醒以色列人先前在摩押的巴力毗珥所經歷的事(民數記25章1-9節和詩篇106篇28-29節)。摩西用以色列人自己的歷史來警告他們,他們的存活全在於遵守上帝的律法。另外,摩西還提醒以色列人,他們是唯一有特權與上帝建立親密關係並與祂親密交流的國民,且是唯一領受上帝律法的百姓(申命記4章7-8節)。忠心地順服上帝將使他們與眾人有別,使他們成為強大且有智慧的民族(6、8-9節)。

God-Paved Memories
Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me. Deuteronomy 4:10
When my grown son faced a difficult situation, I reminded him about God’s constant care and provision during his dad’s year of unemployment. I recounted the times God strengthened our family and gave us peace while my mom fought and lost her battle with leukemia. Highlighting the stories of God’s faithfulness stitched into Scripture, I affirmed He was good at keeping His word. I led my son down our family’s God-paved memory lane, reminding him about the ways He remained reliable through our valley and mountaintop moments. Whether we were struggling or celebrating, God’s presence, love, and grace proved sufficient.
Although I’d like to claim this faith-strengthening strategy as my own, God designed the habit of sharing stories to inspire the future generations’ belief in Him. As the Israelites remembered all they’d seen God do in the past, He placed cobblestones of confidence down their divinely paved memory lanes.
The Israelites had witnessed God holding true to His promises as they followed Him (Deuteronomy 4:3–6). He’d always heard and answered their prayers (v. 7). Rejoicing and reminiscing with the younger generations (v. 9), the Israelites shared the holy words breathed and preserved by the one true God (v. 10).
As we tell of our great God’s majesty, mercy, and intimate love, our convictions and the faith of others can be strengthened by the confirmation of His enduring trustworthiness.

Reflect & Pray
Who’s invested in your spiritual growth by sharing what God has done in their lives? What creative ways can you share His faithfulness and love across generational lines?
Sovereign God, thank You for empowering me to walk with sure-footed faith that crosses generational lines.
