每日箴言

令人惊异的神



“圭必不离犹大,...... 直等细罗 (赐平安者) 来到。” - 创 49:10

 灵修


神的作为往往是我们不能理解的,祂做事时常都不依循世人的逻辑。


当族长雅各在临终的时候,他预言他后裔的统治者将会从犹大支派出来,而不是从他长子的支派出来。


当属犹大支派的大卫被膏立为王,就首次应验了这个预言。可是,后来犹大被攻占和被掳,犹大支派似乎再没有其他人作王了。


难道神的权杖已经离开了犹大吗?没有离开,因为那位永活的君王——耶稣——将要降临,唯有祂才能认领神国的权杖。


事实上,耶稣已完全应验这个预言。今天的经文中说:“犹大把小驴拴在葡萄树上,把驴驹拴在美好的葡萄树上。他在葡萄酒中洗了衣服,在葡萄汁中洗了外袍。”这段经文,初代教会看到在耶稣身上发生了,就是祂骑驴凯旋进城,以及祂在受难日舍身流血。


自古至今,神往往都在幕后施行祂的计划。今天,祂也是如此作工。有的时候我们觉得神工作得太缓慢了,不过,我们必须学习去等待神最完美的时间;有的时候我们认为我们的境况太平凡了,神是不会理会的。然而,神却喜欢在日常生活小事上以及在我们的人际关系上作工。


你有没有睁开眼睛,看到神正在作工呢?要常常作好准备,神随时会在你生命中,作让你惊异的事的。


 祷告


神啊,求祢开我们的眼睛,好叫我们看到耶稣在人类历史上、在教会里、在我们的家庭和在我们生命中作工。奉祂的名求,阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

 From The Tribe Of Judah

“The scepter will not depart from Judah . . . until he to whom it belongs shall come.” — Genesis 49:10


 Devotion


God often works in ways we do not understand. He often does not follow human logic.

On his deathbed the patriarch Jacob predicted that the ruler of his descendants would come from the tribe of Judah, not from that of his oldest son.

The first fulfillment of this prophecy was the crowning of King David of Judah. But later, after Judah was conquered and exiled, no other king from Judah ruled.

Had God’s scepter departed? No, the eternal King—Jesus—was coming. He is the only one who can claim the scepter of God’s kingdom.

In fact, Jesus fulfils the entire prophecy. Today’s Scripture asserts, “He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.” The early church saw in these verses Jesus’ triumphal entry on a donkey and Jesus’ offering of his blood on Good Friday.

Throughout history, God often works out his plan behind the scenes. He works the same way today. Sometimes we think God is too slow. But in God’s perfect timing we must learn to wait. Sometimes we think our circumstances are too normal for God to care about. But God loves to work in the events of everyday life and in our personal relationships.

Are your eyes open to see God at work? Be ready for divine surprises in your life.


 Prayer


O God, open our eyes to see Jesus working in human history, in the church, in our families, and in our lives. Amen.
