引言：

当我们让自己沉浸于难处之中，放纵自己发怨言，心里就会失去光明。结果，我们不但看不见前面的路，也忘记了过去经历的神的恩典与信实,活在苦毒当中。 一、发怨言的导因（v1-10) 1. 不信(v1-4) 过去百姓曾经历神的大能，但却没有让他们信靠祂，以致于在听到所谓的恶信面前方寸大乱。因此，他们就开始埋怨摩西，埋怨神。因着不信，他们竟然作了一个决定，就是「立一个首领回埃及」，重新回去当奴隶。 2. 惧怕(v5-10) 因着惧怕，在十个探子的眼中，他们看到的迦南地是「吞吃居民之地」。然而，在约书亚和迦勒的眼中，「他们是我们的食物」。当百姓心中被惧怕所胜时，他们甚至愤怒到要用石头打死他们。 二、摩西向神代求(v11-35） 1.谦卑代求赦免(v11-19) 人若因着不信而离开神的祝福，面临的必然是咒诅。然而，摩西却谦卑的来到神面前为百姓代求，引用了神自我启示的性情，摸着了神的心意。 2.神行公义怜悯(v20-35) 神虽照着自己的「大慈爱赦免这百姓的罪孽」，继续把以色列人当作自己的百姓和产业，但并没有豁免公义的惩罚。他们还是必须为自己的罪付上代价，就是他们不得进入神向他们的祖宗所起誓应许之地，而要死在旷野中，但是祂却要带领成长起来的新一代进入应许之地。 三、当除罪跟随神(v36-45) 神的咒诅临到那十位探子的身上，使他们遭瘟疫而死。神要让百姓看见并相信，祂既有能力叫「报恶信的人都遭瘟疫」，也有能力把他们的妇人孩子都领进应许之地。并且，让他们用三十八年的时间，在旷野学习信心和顺服的功课。 总结：胜过埋怨，必得应许 求天父开我们属灵的眼睛，让我们能够从历史中学到功课，除去不信的恶心，弃绝对神和对人发怨言，使我们不失去神丰富的应许！ Numbers 14: Stop complaining and enter into the promise GK611 Morning Devotion 04 April 2024 The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Stella Ling Introduction: When we allow ourselves to be immersed in difficult situations and indulge in grumbling, we lose the light in our hearts. As a result, we not only lose sight of the road ahead, but we also forget the grace and faithfulness of God that we have experienced in the past, and live in bitterness. 1. Causes of complaining (v1-10) (1) Unbelief (v1-4) The people had experienced the power of God in the past, but they had not been able to trust Him, so that they were disoriented by the so-called bad reports they had heard. As a result, they began to complain against Moses and against God. Because of their unbelief, they went so far as to make a decision to "let us select a leader and return to Egypt" and go back to being slaves again. (2) Fear (v5-10) Because of fear, in the eyes of the ten spies, they saw the land of Canaan as "a land that devours its inhabitants". However, in the eyes of Joshua and Caleb, "they are our bread". When the people were overcome with fear in their hearts, they were even angry enough to stone them. 2. Moses intercedes with God (v11-35) (1) Humble Intercession for forgiveness (v11-19) If a person turns away from God's blessing through unbelief, they will inevitably face a curse. However, Moses humbly came to God to intercede for the people, invoking the self-revelation of God's nature and touching God's heart. (2) God performs righteousness and mercy (v20-35) Although God continued to treat Israel as His own people and inheritance according to His "according to the greatness of Your mercy, just as You have forgiven this people,", He did not exempt them from the punishment of righteousness. They still had to pay the price for their sins in that they were not allowed to enter the Promised Land that God had sworn to their fathers, but were to die in the wilderness, but He was to lead a new and grown generation into the Promised Land. 3. Eliminate sins and follow God (v36-45) The curse of God came upon the ten spies and caused them to die of the plague. God wanted the people to see and believe that He had the power to bring the plague on "ho brought the evil report about the land, died by the plague" and to bring their women and children into the Promised Land. Furthermore, they were to spend thirty-eight years in the wilderness learning lessons of faith and obedience. Conclusion: Overcome Complaining and receive the promise! Pray that our Heavenly Father will open our spiritual eyes, so that we can learn lessons from history, and remove the evil heart of unbelief, forsaking God and complaining against people, so that we will not lose the abundant promises of God!
