1/7/2013與亞伯拉罕立約 經文:創世記15-17章 中心思想:創世記15章 提要 今天的經文描述的是:上帝和亞伯拉罕立約,重申約定的情景,以及約定所象微的意義。上帝的應許裏包括許多細節,應許未實現時,祂獨自重申約定必會完成,並以割禮為記堅定這個約定,但許多年過去了,當年的約定一點也沒有實現的跡象,亞伯拉罕在焦躁不耐中做了一件愚蠢的決定,雖然得了-個兒子,名叫以實瑪利,卻成為老父永遠的心頭之痛,始終都在提醒亞伯拉罕,這是一個不信的代價!
每日與主同行 如果明天你就不在這個世界上了,你要怎麼度過今天?對亞伯蘭來說,這不僅僅是個學術問題而已。他率領只有三百一十八人的一小隊精兵,一舉擊潰了諸王的大軍,救了姪兒羅得,奪回所有被擄走的生命財產。然而意氣風發之後,漫漫孤寂的長夜來了,他感到害怕,惟恐敵人回頭繼續叫戰,又怕自己沒有子嗣,而年事已高就此人去燈滅,絲毫不存。 默想 夏甲的的奇招──濫用或適用? 金言 上帝從來沒有應許我們安逸平順,祂只保證我們平安到達終點。 Covenant with Abraham Scriptures:Genesis 15-17 Heart of the Passage:Genesis 15 Overview Today's reading describes the Abrahamic covenant as it was given, confirmed, and symbolized. God's promises to Abraham are given in great detail, confirmed with a unilateral treaty, repeated, and established by the sign of circumcision. But as The years pass with no evidence of fulfillment, Abraham acts in foolish impatience. The result is a son, Ishmael, who will forever cause the heartbreak of his father, constantly reminding Abraham of the price of his unbelief.
Your Daily Walk How would you spend today if you thought you might have no tomorrow? For Abram this was more than an academic question. With his little army of 318 men, he had just thrashed a band of warring kings, rescued his nephew Lot , and brought back the kidnapped people and goods. Now, in the long, lonely night hours that follow, he is scared. Scared that his enemies might return to continue the battle. Scared that his life might be snuffed out while he is yet childless.
