民数记 第二十七章|Book of Numbers 27【神的应许必会成就】
26/04/2024
一、虽无男丁 仍可得地业（V1-11）
1. 勇敢挺身而出的姊妹（V1-4）
西罗非哈的女儿家中无父亲、无弟兄来继承产业，因此她们勇敢前来说明家族的光景和需要，提出诉求，希望可以为父亲存留地业。因为她们相信神的应许，也相信以色列人必按照神的话语得地为业。
神的应许是真实会成就的！只可惜有些人不在乎，不以为然，甚至有些人不想要，所以就得不着。
2. 摩西按照神吩咐定案（V5-11）
摩西将五姐妹的案件呈到神面前，并照神的吩咐定案。原本无分地业的五姊妹，成为了以色列中首次继承父亲家族产业的女子！摩西也得到神的指示，为以色列人定下承接产业的条例，世代都要遵守。
我们可以放心的把自己的事带到神面前，也能够把别人的事呈现到神面前，我们公平公义、满有恩典怜悯的神，祂必会成就所应许的！
二、虽曾违背 仍得神眷顾（V12-23）
1. 神在惩罚之中有安慰（V12-14）
摩西因为在米利巴击打磐石的事情得罪了神，以致他不能够进入神的应许之地，这是神早已经向摩西宣布了。摩西心中没有埋怨不平，因为他自知理亏。但是神仍然眷顾摩西，亲自来安慰摩西，说会让他亲眼看见此应许之地！看了以后，必归到列祖那永恒的应许之地！
我们的神是轻慢不得的，祂越重用你，对你的要求就越高！但是神在处罚之中有安慰，有出路。因为神是爱，管教是为叫人知罪悔改。
2. 摩西为民祈求新领袖（V15-17）
摩西顺服神的安排，没有为自己的未来自怜担忧，反而为那群多次令他失望的百姓代求，求神立一位新的好领袖来带领以色列人。对摩西而言，百姓进入应许之地之后的祝福，比自己不能进入应许之地还更加重要。
这是负责任的领袖榜样！属灵领袖都是成全人、提拔人、不嫉妒人的！凡事为百姓着想，超越自己的益处！
3. 神选约书亚继承摩西（V18-23）
原来神已经有合心意的人，就是约书亚。神告诉摩西，要把约书亚带到会众面前，尊荣他，按立他作接班人，百姓就不会落入没有牧人的光景，摩西也可以放心了。
真正的听从，就是即使功不归己，也希望神的事得成！
总结：
无论是原本不能继承产业的五姊妹，或是不得进入应许之地的摩西，神都眷顾他们，按照所应许的成就在他们的身上！
当我们凡事寻求神的帮助，听从神的吩咐；神必按着祂的应许，成就在我们的生命！
Numbers 27 God’s promises will be accomplished
GK611 Morning Devotion
30 April 2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Daniel Kew
1. Even if there is no male, you can still get the land (V1-11)
(1) Sisters who bravely come forward (V1-4)
Zelophehad's daughters had no father or brothers to inherit the property, so they came bravely to explain their family's situation and needs, and made appeals, hoping that the land inheritance could be preserved for their father. Because they believed in God’s promise and believed that the Israelites would possess the land according to God’s Words.
God’s promises are true and will come true! It’s a pity that some people don’t care and don’t take it seriously, and some even don’t want it, so they can’t get it.
(2) Moses finalised the decision according to God’s instructions (V5-11)
Moses presented the case of the five sisters before God and decided the case according to God's instructions. The five sisters, who originally had no inheritance, became the first women in Israel to inherit their father's family property! Moses also received instructions from God and set regulations for the inheritance of the Israelites, which must be observed from generation to generation.
We can bring our matters before God with confidence, and we can also present other people’s matters before God. Our God, who is fair, righteous, and full of grace and mercy, will surely fulfill His promise!
2. Even violated the law, still receive God’s favour (V12-23)
(1) God comforts in punishment (V12-14)
Moses sinned against God by striking the rock at Meribah so he could not enter God's Promised Land. This was something God had already announced to Moses. Moses had no complaints in his heart because he knew he was in the wrong. But God still favoured Moses and came to comfort him personally, saying that he would let him see the Promised Land with his own eyes! After seeing it, you will surely return to the eternal Promised Land of your ancestors!
Our God is not to be mocked. The more He uses you, the higher He will demand from you! But God has comfort and a way out of punishment. Because God is love, discipline is to make people realise their sins and repent.
(2) Moses prays for new leaders for the people (V15-17)
Moses obeyed God’s arrangement and did not feel sorry for his future. Instead, he interceded for the people who had disappointed him many times and asked God to appoint a new good leader to lead the Israelites. For Moses, the blessing of the people after they entered the Promised Land was more important than him not being able to enter the Promised Land.
This is an example of responsible leaders! Spiritual leaders fulfill people, promote people, and are not jealous of people! Do everything for the sake of the people and go beyond your benefits!
(3) God chooses Joshua to succeed Moses (V18-23)
It turns out that God already has a man after His own heart, and that is Joshua. God told Moses to bring Joshua before the congregation, honour him, and appoint him as their successor. The people would not be in a situation without a shepherd, and Moses could rest assured.
True obedience means that even if you don’t get the credit, you still hope that matters related to God will be accomplished!
Conclusion：
Whether it was the five sisters who were originally unable to inherit the inheritance, or Moses who was not allowed to enter the Promised Land, God favoured them and fulfilled them according to His promise!
When we seek God’s help in everything and obey God’s instructions, God will fulfill His promises in our lives!
