• 260靈修 Feb. 23, 2012: 希伯來書 第三章Hebrew 3

  第三章

   

  ⁷ 所以，就像聖靈所說的：“如果你們今天聽從他的聲音， ⁸ 就不要硬著心，好像在曠野惹他發怒、試探他的日子一樣； ⁹ 在那裡，你們的祖先以試驗來試探我，觀看我的作為有四十年之久。 ¹⁰ 所以，我向那個世代的人發怒，說：‘他們心裡常常迷誤，不認識我的道路。’ ¹¹ 我就在烈怒中起誓，說：‘他們絕不可進入我的安息。’” ¹² 弟兄們，你們要小心，免得你們中間有人存著邪惡、不信的心，以致離棄了永活的神； ¹³ 趁著還有叫作“今天”的時候，總要天天互相勸勉，免得你們中間有人受了罪惡的誘惑，心裡就剛硬了。 ¹⁴ 如果我們把起初的信念堅持到底，就是有分於基督的人了。 ¹⁵ 經上說：“如果你們今天聽從他的聲音，就不要硬著心，像惹他發怒的時候一樣。” ¹⁶ 那時，聽了他的話而惹他發怒的是誰呢？不就是摩西從埃及領出來的那些人嗎？ ¹⁷ 四十年之久，神向誰發怒呢？不就是向那些犯了罪陳屍曠野的人嗎？ ¹⁸ 他又向誰起誓說，他們絕對不可以進入他的安息呢？不就是向那些不順從的人嗎？ ¹⁹ 這樣看來，他們不能進入安息，是因為不信的緣故。

   

  思想

  1. 這幾節經文是針對屬靈生命的兩大敵人，就是心硬（8節）與不信（12節）。昔日以色列人聽見神的話，卻硬著心，不信靠神，與神對抗的，因此不能享有安息與平安。
  2. 今天我們也是一樣。任何人聽見並回應耶穌的信息，都能經歷內心完全的平安。只有當我們不願全然信靠神，且拒絕聽從神的時候，我們就無法得到內心的平安。
  3. 安靜在神面前，思想我的現況：我是否已經得救卻仍痛苦？已經信主卻仍焦慮？已經悔改卻仍不得滿足？祈求聖靈幫助我看見內心深處，有沒有什麼地方我是硬著心，不願順服神的聲音？若有，求聖靈引導，賜我順服與信靠的心，來甘心聽從神。

   

  禱告與筆錄：

  繼續安靜在神面前，與神對話，並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中的思想（心得），或是與神的禱告，記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。

   

  Chapter 3

  ⁷So, as the Holy Spirit says:    ”Today, if you hear his voice, ⁸do not harden your hearts    as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert, ⁹where your fathers tested and tried me  and for forty years saw what I did.  ¹⁰That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways. ¹¹So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”

  ¹²See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. ¹³But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. ¹⁴We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. ¹⁵As has just been said:    ”Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”

  ¹⁶Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? ¹⁷And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert? ¹⁸And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? ¹⁹So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.

  MEDITATION

  1. These verses warn against two enemies of the spiritual life: a hardened heart (v8) and unbelief(v12).  The Exodus generation heard God’s word through Moses.  However, they would not trust God and refused to obey Him.  As a result, they found neither rest nor peace.
  2. This is the same with us today.  When we heard and responded to the message of Jesus, we are invited to experience a rest and complete inner peace.  However, if we are not willing to trust God completely and refuse to respond his God’s voice, then we will not experience this peace of God.
  3. Quiet before the Lord and reflect: Am I saved yet miserable?  Do I believe God but still anxious?  Have I repented yet unresolved?  Could it be that I have hardened my heart, and am unwilling to obey God?  Ask for guidance and a willing spirit to trust and obey God.

  Prayer & Journaling:

  Stay with God for a little longer.  Continue to converse with God and listen to what he wants to tell me.  Then write down any thought and/or prayer in the  “Spiritual Journal” book.
