QT:新的使命與彩虹下的約定(創世記09:01—09:17)
[生命泉源]
09:01 — | 神賜福給挪亞和他的兒子,對他們說:「你們要生養眾多,遍滿了地。 [NIV] Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. |
09:02 — | 凡地上的走獸和空中的飛鳥都必驚恐,懼怕你們,連地上一切的昆蟲並海裏一切的魚都交付你們的手。 [NIV] The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. |
09:03 — | 凡活著的動物都可以作你們的食物。這一切我都賜給你們,如同菜蔬一樣。 [NIV] Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything. |
09:04 — | 惟獨肉帶著血,那就是他的生命,你們不可喫。 [NIV] "But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. |
09:05 — | 流你們血、害你們命的,無論是獸是人,我必討他的罪,就是向各人的弟兄也是如此。 [NIV] And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. |
09:06 — | 凡流人血的,他的血也必被人所流,因為神造人是照自己的形像造的。 [NIV] "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man. |
09:07 — | 你們要生養眾多,在地上昌盛繁茂。」 [NIV] As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it." |
09:08 — | 神曉諭挪亞和他的兒子說: [NIV] Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: |
09:09 — | 「我與你們和你們的後裔立約, [NIV] "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you |
09:10 — | 並與你們這裏的一切活物、就是飛鳥、牲畜、走獸,凡從方舟裏出來的活物立約。 [NIV] and with every living creature that was with you--the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you--every living creature on earth. |
09:11 — | 我與你們立約,凡有血肉的,不再被洪水滅絕,也不再有洪水毀壞地了。」 [NIV] I establish my covenant with you:Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth." |
09:12 — | 神說:「我與你們並你們這裏的各樣活物所立的永約是有記號的。 [NIV] And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: |
09:13 — | 我把虹放在雲彩中,這就可作我與地立約的記號了。 [NIV] I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. |
09:14 — | 我使雲彩蓋地的時候,必有虹現在雲彩中, [NIV] Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, |
09:15 — | 我便記念我與你們和各樣有血肉的活物所立的約,水就再不氾濫、毀壞一切有血肉的物了。 [NIV] I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. |
09:16 — | 虹必現在雲彩中,我看見,就要記念我與地上各樣有血肉的活物所立的永約。」 [NIV] Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." |
09:17 — | 神對挪亞說:「這就是我與地上一切有血肉之物立約的記號了。」 [NIV] So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth." |
[今日禱告]
主啊!我和祢的約定是什麼?我有與祢立約的記號嗎?我有守住此約的力量嗎?主啊!我盼望自己也是受祢檢選的人,為祢發光發熱!
主啊!我要學習挪亞,忠心的專心的謹守遵行祢的旨意;我要學習挪亞,在苦難中緊緊倚靠主,單單憑信心相信主,因主是黑暗中唯一的盼望;我要學習挪亞,在最後時刻,仍要保持默默等待的心,不被眼前的誘惑所惑而衝動的走向滅亡。如此,我應該才算合乎上帝的子民吧?!
主啊!求祢大大幫助我,火熱我心,讓我積極的追求自我的成長,對每一項計畫都有非做不可的堅決。主啊!求祢使我成長,使我在每一項學習上都日日精進,使我能成就獨當一面的渴望,使我能幫助我的家人,減輕他們的負擔。主啊!我當懷抱最初的野望與信心,勇往直前。
主啊!求祢看顧保守國賢,賜他智慧與健康,使他的工作穩定且順利,使他與同事的相處和諧,使他上司長官能善待他,也求主記念他的勞苦,賜給他配得的工價。主啊!我們現在所擁有的一切都是祢的恩典,我們大大稱謝。我們雖心急我們的「家」仍沒有著落,但主啊!祢必會為我們安排最好的,我們要耐心等候,只要禱告。主啊!求祢幫我們預備我們的家,那裡會是我們的寄託,是有主的地方,是養育詠晴長大的地方,主啊!我們希望這個家的屋齡不要超過15年、新式裝潢、格局方正、國賢能負擔的售價且不把存款用盡的情況,讓我們能保有足夠的生活品質,主啊!求祢幫我們預備這樣的家好嗎?
主啊!求祢憐憫我的父母,求祢賜下平安與喜樂到達他們的心中,使他們不要受撒旦的綑綁、為金錢所苦,求祢破碎剛硬的心、撼動頑強的堅持,進到他們裡面,成為他們的盼望、他們的救贖。主啊!求祢鑒察我們的心,我們不是貪慕金錢,我們只要能稍微減輕一點負擔和壓力,主啊!求祢憐憫我的父母,雖然他們仍不認識祢,但主啊!求祢不要轉開祢慈愛的臉,求祢記念他們的苦,賜福給他們,救他們脫離金錢壓力的深淵,這一切都求主安排,都要按著祢的心意來行,無論如何,我們都全心感謝。
主啊!求祢看顧保守公公婆婆,求祢賜給他們健康、平安和喜樂,求祢降下聖靈到他們中間,求祢賜與他們祢的溫柔、慈愛、謙卑、公義、正直,願他們能越來越有祢的樣式,活出蒙祢喜悅的生活。
主啊!求祢看顧保守媽媽的身體,求祢記念她的勞苦,醫治她身體的不適,賜給她平安與喜樂的心,不要受撒旦的侵襲而容易憂慮。
主啊!求祢看顧詠晴,求祢賜下聖靈在她裡面,親自引領她,使她用餐時能安靜自己的心,好好坐下來用餐;使她的個性可以平緩,不要不顧一切的急躁;使她個性大方,面對挑戰無所畏懼。求主看顧保守她,願她的成長有平安有喜樂。
感謝讚美主,一切榮耀都歸於主,孩子這樣感謝、禱告都是奉主耶穌基督的聖名祈求,阿門!
