373 中翻英 (103) God's faithful guidance is the way we must follow. 上帝忠信的帶領的道路必須跟隨。 5/1/2023

 373   中翻英 (103)        God's faithful guidance is the way we must follow.                                                                                        上帝忠信的帶領的道路必須跟隨。                           5/1/2023

今日的晨曦默思必須永遠記在心中，因為祂的忠信引導是信徒生活準繩。當我們硬著頸項偏行己路時，就失去了這美好的見證。使得約柜在以后的三十八年中，再沒有出現，信徒喪失了蒙上帝帶領這個上好的祂的旨意。

「他們卻擅敢上山頂去，然而耶和華的約柜和摩西沒有出營。于是亞瑪力人和迦南人都下來擊打他們，把他們殺退了 ....」（民     14:44-45     新國際版）

當以色列民在巴蘭曠野的加低斯，听見那十位探子所報告的消息后，他們便背叛耶和華而不肯進入迦南。此后，神定罪他們所作的揀選，他們又再一次背叛，并堅持要憑他們自己的力量繼續往前去。他們不理會摩西，也不管在他們的旅程中，一向走在他們前面的約柜，這是他們的致命傷。他們不只被仇敵徹底擊敗，并且在這遭遇以后的三十八年中，再沒有約柜的歷史。哦！這是何等可怕的事！當我們硬著頸項偏行己路時，我們便沒有神忠信引導的見證。因著我們自己那剛愎任性的行動，我 們便喪失了蒙神帶領這個上好的特權。

"Nevertheless,  in their presumption they  went up toward  the high hill country, though neither  Moses nor  the   ark of the LORD's  covenant  moved from  the camp.   Then    the Amalekites and the Canaanites  who lived in that hill country came down and struck them, and drove them back ....."                            (Numbers 14:44-45 NIV)  

When the Israelites heard the news reported by the ten spies at Kadesh in the Wilderness of Paran, they rebelled against the Lord and refused to enter Canaan. Thereafter, God condemned their election, and they rebelled again, insisting on going on in their own strength. It was their mortal wound that they ignored Moses, or the ark which had always preceded them in their journey.   They   were   not only  completely defeated by the enemy, but also there was no history of the Ark of the Covenant   for thirty-eight years after this  battle . Oh! It was what a terrible thing!   As we stiffen our necks and go our own way, we have no testimony of God's faithful guidance.  Since  we insisted walked on our own way, we had forfeited the wonderful privilege of being led by God.
