【等候神的功课】

主讲: 区箴唤实习传道

引言：

在我们的信仰里，我们除了称神为神，也称神为主，就是说祂也是我们的主人。所以当我们认定这位主，我们就会来等候祂的吩咐，而不是妄自去行事。

一、不等候神指引的教训

1. 投靠的势力化为羞辱（V1-7）

犹大国在艰难中不寻求神，不等候神的引导就妄自行事，去寻找有权有势者（埃及）来作为倚靠。最终这种倚靠和人在私意的筹算都会化为羞辱。

2. 兴起的仇敌速来追赶（V8-17）

犹大国在艰难中不愿听神的话，却只想听自己想要听的话；也不愿等候神的引导，却只想快快地去到埃及寻求帮助。所以神也会允许仇敌兴起，来速速地追赶祂犹大国的子民。

二、等到神指引民要回应（V18-26）

神兴起艰难的环境，其实就是在等候百姓醒悟，好让百姓能够明白祂对着他们的指引，就回归正路里，也就是那条离弃偶像，并播撒真理的种子回到生命中的道路。如此，神的百姓必会重新回到蒙福的日子里。并且当主耶稣再来的时候，神要修正这个世界一切的混乱，因信被称为义的百姓则要得着完全的救恩！

三、等到神伸冤民必欢呼（V27-33）

先知先领受到末日的预言：当主耶稣再来要施行审判的日子，神的列怒要发出临到一切不信的行恶之人，他们的结局是可悲的，但神的圣民则是另一番景象，他们要欢呼喜乐地登上耶和华的山，去敬拜神。其次先知以赛亚也领受到不久后，神也会对着当时以色列的敌国亚述施行审判，神的百姓为着神对他们的伸冤都欢喜快乐！

总结:

让我们一起来学习等候神的功课：

1.在人生的艰难，并人生各个的关键时刻，都一定要来切切地寻求神，等候神的心意，而不是把神放在一边，就快快去找人的办法去处理，去倚靠钱财势力，因为这些外在的倚靠最终都是会归于无有的。

2.反过来，让我们学习等候神的指引。尤其是当神兴起环境来磨塑我们生命的时候，我们要从中去体会并回应神的心意，那么最终我们就一定会从被仇敌辖制的光景，进入到自由蒙福的生命中！

3.对于人生中我们所面对到的不公不义，我们也要耐心等候神伸冤的日子。到那日，神必做出祂公义的审判，我们作为祂的圣民最终都会为着神公义的判断欢呼喜乐！

Isaiah 30: The Lesson of Waiting upon God
GK611 Morning Devotion
27/05/2022
Speaker: IP Moses Ou

Introduction:

In our faith, besides calling God God, we also call Him Lord, which means that He is also our Master. So when we identify with this Lord, we come to wait for His command, and not to act presumptuously.

1. Lessons on not waiting for God's guidance

(1) Reliance of forces turned into humiliation (V1-7)

The nation of Judah did not seek God in its difficulties, and did not wait for His guidance, but acted presumptuously, looking for the powerful (Egypt) to rely on. In the end, this dependence and man's selfish calculations turned into humiliation.

(2) Rise up the enemies for pursuit (V8-17)

The nation of Judah did not want to listen to God in its difficulties, but wanted to hear only what it wanted to hear; nor did it want to wait for God's guidance, but wanted to go quickly to Egypt for help. So God would also allow the enemy to rise up to speedily pursue His people of the nation of Judah.

2. Waiting for God to guide the people to respond (V18-26)

God raises up difficult circumstances to wait for the people to wake up so that they can understand His guidance to them and return to the right path, the path of turning away from idols and sowing the seed of truth back into their lives. In this way, God's people will return to the day of blessing. And when the Lord Jesus comes again, God will correct all the confusion of the world, and the people who are justified by faith will receive complete salvation!

3. The people will rejoice when God has done them justice (V27-33)

The prophet first received the prophecy of the last days: When the Lord Jesus comes again to execute judgment, the wrath of God will be sent out against all unbelieving and wicked people, and their end will be miserable, but God's holy people will be a different picture, and they will ascend the mountain of the Lord with joy and gladness to worship God. Secondly, the prophet Isaiah also received that soon God would also execute judgment on Assyria, the enemy nation of Israel at that time, and that God's people would rejoice and be glad for the redress of God's grievances against them!

Conclusion:

Let's learn the lesson of waiting on God:

1) In the difficulties of life, and in all critical moments of life, we must seek God earnestly and wait for His will, instead of putting God aside and quickly looking for human solutions and relying on money and power, because these external reliance will eventually come to nothing.

2) In turn, let us learn to wait for God's guidance. Especially when God raises up circumstances to shape our lives, let us experience and respond to God's heart from them, then eventually we will surely move from the light of being dominated by the enemy to a life of freedom and blessing!

3) We must also wait patiently for the day of God's justice for the injustice we face in life. In that day, God will render His righteous judgment, and we as His holy people will ultimately rejoice in His righteous judgment!
