提要
百姓離開西乃山前往迦南地,這是最後一程仍需三個星期,其間摩西從上帝領受旨意,要百姓潔淨好進入應許之地。他們必須明白和上帝所立的誓約,除去靈性,道德上的罪,利未人也必須明白他們蒙召的神聖本質。藉著各支派的慷慨奉獻,會幕裡的一切供奉都一無所缺。 |

你認為用什麼服事上帝最好?(把答案寫在空白處)
或許你認為是聖經、一本書、或上帝所賜的能力。但有一樣你可能沒想過:你的身體。
你今生為上帝所做的一切都要藉著你的身體。或許你正為能攻克己心而沾沾自喜,卻忽略上帝還要藉著你的身體來做工。
舊約時代,若有人(非利未人或祭司)想服事上帝,可許拿細耳的願──守某些誡命以離俗歸聖。這是出於慎重的志願誓約,不可出爾反爾,而且上帝也要祝福那忠心到底的人。
今天你可潔淨自己、全人奉獻、為上帝所用?羅馬書十二章一至二節會告訴你怎麼做,但一切要甘心樂意! |
默想
誰許了願?
我們都知道參孫因為許了拿細耳人的願而留了長髮。聖經中至少另有兩人許了同樣的願──大祭司撒母耳及施洗約翰。 |
金言
鍛鍊靈性最好的運動是去扶持別人站立起來。 |

2/12/2013 Cleansing the People |
Scriptures: | Numbers 5-8 |
Heart of the Passage: | Numbers 6:1-7:11 |
Overview
Three weeks remain before the people leave Sinai to begin the last leg of their journey to Canaan. During this time Moses receives certain commands from God designed to cleanse the people and prepare them to enter the Promised Land. They must be free from immorality and jealousy; they must understand the binding nature of vows made to God; the Levites must realize the sacred nature of their calling. Through the generous gifts of the tribal leaders, the tabernacle implements and supplies are provided for the worship of the Lord. |

Your Daily Walk
What is the most important tool you will ever use in your service for God? (Write in the margin the first thing that comes to mind.)
Perhaps you thought of a book, or the Bible, or a God-given ability. Here's another tool you may not have considered: your body.
Any service you render for God in this life will be done through the use of your body. And while you may pride yourself on the way you discipline your mind, your body may be one of the most neglected tools God has entrusted to you.
The Old Testament man or woman who wanted to be used in God's service but was not eligible as a Levite or priest could take the Nazirite vow. This vow involved abstaining from certain hindrances to holiness in order to be wholly devoted to the service of the Lord. It was a voluntary vow, difficult to get into and equally difficult to get out of. And yet it held the promise of personal blessing for those who successfully fulfilled it.
Is your body available to God today, cleansed and prepared for Misuse? Romans 12:1-2 will show you how, but only you can volunteer!

Insight
Who Took "the Vow"?
We all know of Samson, who took the Nazirite vow and thus let his hair grow long. But there are at least two others who also took that vow—Samuel the high priest and John the Baptist.

The best exercise far strengthening the heart is reaching out and lifting people up. |
