 ＱＴ：信心的基礎：創造主－－神（創世記15：01—15：11）


[生命泉源]

15：01 — 這事以後，耶和華在異象中有話對亞伯蘭說：「亞伯蘭，你不要懼怕！我是你的盾牌，必大大地賞賜你。」
After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision:"Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward."
15：02 — 亞伯蘭說：「主耶和華啊，我既無子，你還賜我甚麼呢？並且要承受我家業的是大馬色人以利以謝。」
But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"
15：03 — 亞伯蘭又說：「你沒有給我兒子；那生在我家中的人就是我的後嗣。」
And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir."
15：04 — 耶和華又有話對他說：「這人必不成為你的後嗣；你本身所生的纔成為你的後嗣。」
Then the word of the LORD came to him:"This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir."
15：05 — 於是領他走到外邊，說：「你向天觀看，數算眾星，能數得過來麼？」又對他說：「你的後裔將要如此。」
He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars--if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
15：06 — 亞伯蘭信耶和華，耶和華就以此為他的義。
Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
15：07 — 耶和華又對他說：「我是耶和華，曾領你出了迦勒底的吾珥，為要將這地賜你為業。」
He also said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it."
15：08 — 亞伯蘭說：「主耶和華啊，我怎能知道必得這地為業呢？」
But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?"
15：09 — 他說：「你為我取一隻三年的母牛，一隻三年的母山羊，一隻三年的公綿羊，一隻斑鳩，一隻雛鴿。」
So the LORD said to him, "Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon."
15：10 — 亞伯蘭就取了這些來，每樣劈開，分成兩半，一半對著一半地擺列，只有鳥沒有劈開。
Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other; the birds, however, he did not cut in half.
15：11 — 有鷙鳥下來，落在那死畜的肉上，亞伯蘭就把他嚇飛了。
Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
省 思 語— 每當應許與現實有所差距而感到失望或焦急的時候，我該如何做呢？

14：24 — 只有僕人所喫的，並與我同行的亞乃、以實各、幔利所應得的分，可以任憑他們拿去。」
'I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me--to Aner, Eshcol and Mamre. Let them have their share."
