放下自我，因着耶和华神，信心必得坚固

原文:

1 摩西回答说：“他们必不信我，也不听我的话，必说：‘耶和华并没有向你显现！’”

Moses answered, "What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, 'The LORD did not appear to you'?"

2 耶和华对摩西说：“你手里是什么？”他说：“是杖。”

Then the LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" "A staff," he replied.

3 耶和华说：“丢在地上。”他一丢下去，就变作蛇，摩西便跑开。

The LORD said, "Throw it on the ground." Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it.

4 耶和华对摩西说：“伸出手来拿住它的尾巴，它必在你手中仍变为杖。

Then the LORD said to him, "Reach out your hand and take it by the tail." So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand.

5 如此好叫他们信耶和华他们祖宗的  神，就是亚伯拉罕的  神，以撒的  神，雅各的  神，是向你显现了。”

"This," said the LORD, "is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob--has appeared to you."

6 耶和华又对他说：“把手放在怀里。”他就把手放在怀里，及至抽出来，不料，手长了大麻风，有雪那样白。

Then the LORD said, "Put your hand inside your cloak." So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was leprous, like snow.

7 耶和华说：“再把手放在怀里。”他就再把手放在怀里，及至从怀里抽出来，不料，手已经复原，与周身的肉一样。

"Now put it back into your cloak," he said. So Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his flesh.

8 又说：“倘或他们不听你的话，也不信头一个神迹，他们必信第二个神迹。

Then the LORD said, "If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first miraculous sign, they may believe the second.

9 这两个神迹若都不信，也不听你的话，你就从河里取些水，倒在旱地上，你从河里取的水必在旱地上变作血。”

But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground."

「和合本 vs NIV」Exod4:1-9

注释:本段经文主要讲神给摩西展示了三个神迹。

诠释:

神看到摩西的信心依然不够，就给他展示了三个神迹。

1，把手杖变成蛇之后又变成原样

2，把手变成麻风手又变成原样

3，第三个是一个交代。给摩西一个藉着神向以色列人展示神迹的机会。

前两个神迹是为了坚固摩西的信心，

后一个交给摩西去做是为了坚固平民的信心。

神做的这一切都在努力坚固众人信心，我们还有什么理由揣测怀疑？

直接去按照神的话语做就好啦！

应用:

1，在神面前，要放下自我。

2，不以自我为中心，尊重事实。

3，做事情不要考虑太多，仅仅需要去踏踏实实地做就好了。

摩西是肩负着以色列人自由的使命，只是他不自知。神也求爷爷 告奶奶式的给他说:去解救以色列人吧！有我在，不要怕！

生活里，我们的上级领导，我们的朋友，我们自己以外的人，也许更了解自己，也更清楚我们自己能做什么。虽然这不及神对我们的了解，但是总比我们那种自我为中心的认知要强的多。

没自信心不等于没能力。

可是我们即便有能力，没有坚固的信心，如果要把失败分个等级(1-10递增吧)，我想失败的程度和我们的信心坚固程度成负相关的。

也就是说，我们在同一能力条件下，信心坚固程度越高，遭遇失败的等级就越低。
