一、耶和华的‘我要’宣言(出6:1-8)

1.耶和华的名字启示(V1-3)

在这里,神向摩西再次重申祂是‘耶和华’。表明祂是‘自有永有’的神,祂不仅是过去的神,也是现在和未来的神。

2.耶和华听见并记念(V4-5)

神不是一个遥远的观察者,以色列人的哀声没有被忽略,祂听见了;百姓的苦难祂也记念了,并立刻采取行动的承诺。

3.耶和华的救赎承诺(V6-8) 在这里神用了一连串‘我要’来宣告祂全面的救赎承诺,祂不仅要拯救以色列人脱离困境,还要使他们成为祂的百姓,并赐给他们属灵的产业。

小结:

当我们面对生活的重担时,要记住神的‘我要’!神不是‘我试试’,不是‘我考虑考虑’,而是坚定的‘我要’!这给我们何等的安慰和力量!

二、百姓的‘我不要’回应(出6:9)

当摩西把神的话告诉以色列人时,他们因苦工愁烦,不肯听他的话。

有时我们也是如此,因困难失望退缩,宁做奴隶,不信神的应许。今天,让我们以信心看待问题,不让困难限制神的计划。

三、摩西的‘我不能’借口(出6:10-13)

1.摩西软弱 自我怀疑(V10-12)

摩西又开始了他的‘我不能’借口。摩西因以色列人的拒绝而感到自我怀疑,使他认为自己无法胜任神的呼召。摩西的自我怀疑让他忽略了神的能力。

2.神的回应 继续托付(V13)

神没有因为百姓和摩西的软弱而更改计划,祂清楚地吩咐摩西和亚伦去完成使命。这显示出神的工作并不依赖人的能力,而是让人在事奉中倚靠神、经历神,在‘我不能’中经历‘神能’!

小结:

当我们面对神的呼召时,常常会因为自我怀疑而退缩。我们要记住,神的能力远超我们的不足;神不是看我们的能力,而是看我们的顺服。

四、从家谱看神的信实(出6:14-27)

1.神的信实在家族中延续(V14-19)

这份家谱不是完整的以色列支派名单,而是强调利未支派,因摩西与亚伦出自其中。这表明神的拯救早已计划,从亚伯拉罕延续,虽以色列人受苦,神未曾忘记。

2. 神的信实在拣选中彰显(V20-25)

家谱中特别提到摩西、亚伦的父母暗兰与约基别,虽为普通利未人,却被神拣选参与救恩计划,显明神按信实拣选人,成就祂的旨意。

3.神的信实超越人的软弱(V26-27)

这里强调‘就是这亚伦和摩西’,表明神拣选的领袖不会因软弱而被弃。尽管摩西推辞、亚伦后来也有软弱,神仍使用他们完成拯救以色列人的使命,以显明祂的信实基于应许,而非人的完全。

总结:当神说‘我要’的时候(出6:28-30)

摩西再以‘我不能’回应呼召。总结摩西的挣扎,也启示我们:神的‘我要’胜过人的‘我不能’!

当神说‘我要’的时候,放下借口,勇敢地跟随,进入神为我们预备的应许之地!


Exodus 6
When God Says "I Will"

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Daniel



I. The Lord's "I Will" Declaration (Exodus 6:1-8)

1. The Revelation of the Lord's Name (V1-3)

Here, God reiterates to Moses that He is "Yahweh" (the Lord). He reveals Himself as the eternal "I AM," the God who exists in the past, present, and future. He is not just the God of history but the God of now and forever.

2. The Lord Hears and Remembers (V4-5)

God is not a distant observer. He hears the cries of the Israelites and remembers their suffering. He is not indifferent to their pain but promises to act on their behalf.

3. The Lord's Redemptive Promise (V6-8)

God uses a series of "I will" statements to declare His comprehensive plan of redemption. He promises not only to deliver the Israelites from their bondage but also to make them His own people and give them a spiritual inheritance.

Summary:

When we face the burdens of life, we must remember God's "I will"! God does not say, "I will try," or "I will consider it." He declares a firm "I will!" This gives us immense comfort and strength.

II. The People's "We Will Not" Response (Exodus 6:9)

When Moses conveyed God's words to the Israelites, they were too discouraged by their harsh labor to listen.

Sometimes, we are like the Israelites. We allow disappointment and hardship to make us retreat, preferring the familiarity of slavery over trusting God's promises. Today, let us view our challenges through the lens of faith and not allow difficulties to limit God's plans.

III. Moses' "I Cannot" Excuse (Exodus 6:10-13)

1. Moses' Weakness and Self-Doubt (V10-12)

Moses once again resorts to his "I cannot" excuses. The rejection of the Israelites causes him to doubt himself and question his ability to fulfill God's call. In his self-doubt, Moses overlooks God's power.

2. God's Response: Continued Commission (V13)

God does not alter His plans because of the people's or Moses' weakness. He clearly commands Moses and Aaron to carry out their mission. This shows that God's work does not depend on human ability but on our reliance on Him. In our "I cannot," we experience "God can!"

Summary:

When faced with God's call, we often shrink back due to self-doubt. We must remember that God's power far exceeds our inadequacies. God does not look at our ability but at our obedience.

IV. God's Faithfulness Seen in the Genealogy (Exodus 6:14-27)

1. God's Faithfulness Continues Through Generations (V14-19)

This genealogy is not a complete list of Israel's tribes but focuses on the tribe of Levi, from which Moses and Aaron descended. It shows that God's plan of salvation was set in motion long ago, starting with Abraham. Despite Israel's suffering, God has not forgotten His promises.

2. God's Faithfulness Revealed in His Choice (V20-25)

The genealogy highlights Moses and Aaron's parents, Amram and Jochebed, ordinary Levites chosen by God to participate in His redemptive plan. This demonstrates that God faithfully chooses individuals to fulfill His purposes.

3. God's Faithfulness Surpasses Human Weakness (V26-27)

The text emphasizes, "These are the same Aaron and Moses," showing that God's chosen leaders are not disqualified because of their weaknesses. Despite Moses' reluctance and Aaron's later failures, God still uses them to accomplish His mission of delivering Israel. This reveals that God's faithfulness is based on His promises, not human perfection.

Conclusion: When God Says "I Will" (Exodus 6:28-30)

Moses again responds to God's call with "I cannot." Summarizing Moses' struggle, we learn this truth: God's "I will" overcomes our "I cannot"! When God says "I will," let us lay aside our excuses, follow Him courageously, and enter the Promised Land He has prepared for us!
