上帝在做工
聖經 : 出埃及記 14 : 26~31 , 15 : 1~2
Exodus 14 : 26~31 , 15 : 1~2
14:26 耶和華對摩西說：「你向海伸杖，叫水仍合在埃及人並他們的車輛、馬兵身上。」
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
14:27 摩西就向海伸杖，到了天一亮，海水仍舊復原。埃及人避水逃跑的時候，耶和華把他們推翻在海中，
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. overthrew: Heb. shook off
14:28 水就回流，淹沒了車輛和馬兵。那些跟著以色列人下海法老的全軍，連一個也沒有剩下。And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
14:29 以色列人卻在海中走乾地；水在他們的左右作了牆垣。
But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
14:30 當日，耶和華這樣拯救以色列人脫離埃及人的手，以色列人看見埃及人的死屍都在海邊了。
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
14:31 以色列人看見耶和華向埃及人所行的大事，就敬畏耶和華，又信服他和他的僕人摩西。And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses. work: Heb. hand
15:1 那時，摩西和以色列人向耶和華唱歌說：我要向耶和華歌唱，因他大大戰勝，將馬和騎馬的投在海中。
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
15:2 耶和華是我的力量，我的詩歌，也成了我的拯救。這是我的神，我要讚美他，是我父親的神，我要尊崇他。
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
「這是我的上帝，我要讚美他。」

馬太福音 15 : 1-20
Matthew 15 : 1-20
15:1 那時，有法利賽人和文士從耶路撒冷來見耶穌，說：
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
15:2 「你的門徒為甚麼犯古人的遺傳呢？因為吃飯的時候，他們不洗手。」
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
15:3 耶穌回答說：「你們為甚麼因著你們的遺傳犯神的誡命呢？
But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
15:4 神說：『當孝敬父母』；又說：『咒罵父母的，必治死他。』
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
15:5 你們倒說：『無論何人對父母說：我所當奉給你的已經作了供獻，
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
5:6 他就可以不孝敬父母。』這就是你們藉著遺傳，廢了神的誡命。
And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free . Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
15:7 假冒為善的人哪，以賽亞指著你們說的預言是不錯的。他說：
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
15:8 這百姓用嘴唇尊敬我，心卻遠離我；
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
15:9 他們將人的吩咐當作道理教導人，所以拜我也是枉然。」
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
15:10 耶穌就叫了眾人來，對他們說：「你們要聽，也要明白。
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
15:11 入口的不能污穢人，出口的乃能污穢人。」Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
15:12 當時，門徒進前來對他說：「法利賽人聽見這話，不服（原文是跌倒），你知道嗎？」Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
15:13 耶穌回答說：「凡栽種的物，若不是我天父栽種的，必要拔出來。
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
15:14 任憑他們吧！他們是瞎眼領路的；若是瞎子領瞎子，兩個人都要掉在坑裡。」
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15:15 彼得對耶穌說：「請將這比喻講給我們聽。」Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
15:16 耶穌說：「你們到如今還不明白嗎？
And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
15:17 豈不知凡入口的，是運到肚子裡，又落在茅廁裡嗎？
Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
15:18 惟獨出口的，是從心裡發出來的，這才污穢人。
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
15:19 因為從心裡發出來的，有惡念、兇殺、姦淫、苟合、偷盜、妄證、謗讟。
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
15:20 這都是污穢人的；至於不洗手吃飯，那卻不污穢人。」
These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
一天深夜，傑克和特麗莎開車到醫院，特麗莎懷著他們的第二個小孩，雖然預產期還未到，可是特麗莎就要生了！傑克打電話給緊急救援中心，接著在特麗莎分娩的過程中，緊急調度員雪麗透過電話指導傑克。但是，生下來的嬰兒卻沒有呼吸，於是，雪麗立刻指導傑克施行緊急人工呼吸。緊張的6分鐘過去了，終於，小孩開始呼吸並放聲大哭。
事後，有人問他們怎麼保持冷靜而度過難關的，雪麗回答：「感謝上帝，祂在半夜也工作。」
每當好事發生的時候，聽到媒體報導上帝在其中應得的榮耀，我總是特別高興。在今天的經文中，雖然是摩西舉起手杖，但是我們可以清楚知道，是上帝為祂的百姓分開紅海，逃離法老之手（出埃及記14章26-27節）。摩西和全以色列人都聚集起來唱歌讚美耶和華：「耶和華啊，眾神之中誰能像你？誰能像你至聖至榮，可頌可畏，施行奇事？」 ( 15章11節）
當好事發生時，上帝配得頌讚，因為祂是所有美善的源頭，我們應將榮耀歸給祂。上帝半夜也工作豈不令我們歡喜快樂嗎！AMC
人生故事奇妙，
看來似乎湊巧；
那是主在工作，
唯祂配得榮耀。Sper
看見上帝的工作使我心高歌。
願上帝賜恩福與全家, 身心靈健壯, 凡事興盛.
小栗姐 祝福您, 服事得力, 滿有神恩典同在.
