提要
摩西再次藉著歷史說明上帝是信實的。祂樂於祝福人,就如祂在漂流歲月中眷顧百姓的作為一樣。四十年,祂讓他們衣服免於破損,按時供應維生的嗎哪,並重申百姓一旦進入迦南地就可蒙福的應許。但是金牛犢事件卻是令人痛心的回憶,讓百姓記得:不順服必速遭懲罰。 |

每日與主同行
你是個細心,注意小節的人嗎?這兒有個小小的測驗,可看出你的觀察力怎樣:
1.你臥室有幾個燈泡?
2.你的外套上有幾顆鈕扣?(不能偷看)
3.你的汽車里程表已跑了幾公里?
這些都是微不足道的小事,但論到上帝的誡命,沒有所謂不重要的小事。看看今天的經文「我今日所吩咐的一切誡命,你們要謹守遵行。」你要記得上帝是怎麼引導你的。「人活著不是單靠食物,乃是靠上帝口中所出的話。」
從今天的經文中選一個誡命,並寫出十個有關的注意事項,當你默想它時,就在生活中實踐出來,這是討上帝喜悅的方式。

默想
慎起傲心
在八章十到二十節中,摩西提醒百姓,切莫在迦南地有美好房屋、錦衣美食後就心高氣傲,忘了上帝的恩典,說「這財貨是我力量,我能力得來的。」(8:17)對此人性弱點,摩西立刻給一帖良藥,你可在九章六到二十節中知其究竟。

金言
上帝一定賜下足夠的恩典,讓我們能夠遵守祂的吩咐。 |

2/24/2013 Warnings for a New Generation |
Scriptures: | Deuteronomy 8-11 |
Heart of the Passage: | Deuteronomy 8:1-20;10:12-13 |
Overview
Moses once again takes the Israelites back into their national history to illustrate that God is true to His word. He is a God who loves to bless His people, as demonstrated during the wilderness wanderings. For 40 years God prevented clothes from wearing out while He faithfully provided life-sustaining manna. And He constantly set before His people the promise of even greater blessing once they entered the land. But the golden calf incident was a painful reminder that disobedience brings swift punishment. |

Your Daily Walk
Are you a detail-oriented person? Here's a litde quiz to see how observant you are:
1. How many light bulbs are there in your bedroom?
2. How many buttons are on the outfit you are wearing? (No fair peeking!)
3. How many miles (to the nearest 100) are on the odometer of your car?
Those may seem like insignificant details — and they are! But when it comes to the commandments of God, there is no such thing as an unimportant detail. Look at these verses from today's section: "All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do." "And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee." "Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD."
Pick a command from today's reading, and try to write down 10 observations about it. Then once you have pondered the command, practice it! It's a lifestyle that pleases God (10:12-13).

Insight
Taking Credit Where Credit Isn't Due
In 8: 10-20 Moses warned the people that when they occupied and prospered in Canaan, they would be tempted to take the credit, concluding that "my power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth" (8:17). But Moses offered a quick cure for such misguided pride. Can you spot it in 9:6-24?

Adage
God never commands and commissions without providing grace to obey. |
