11月30日 一时糊涂，害了全家

士8:24-27
基甸又对他们说、我有一件事求你们．请你们各人将所夺的耳环给我．原来仇敌是以实玛利人、都是戴金耳环的。他们说、我们情愿给你．就铺开一件外衣、各人将所夺的耳环丢在其上。基甸所要出来的金耳环、重一千七百舍客勒金子．此外还有米甸王所戴的月环、耳坠、和所穿的紫色衣服、并骆驼项上的金链子。基甸以此制造了一个以弗得、设立在本城俄弗拉．后来以色列人拜那以弗得行了邪淫．这就作了基甸和他全家的网罗。
Gideon said to them, "I would make a request of you, that you would give me every man the earrings of his spoil." (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.) They answered, "We will willingly give them." They spread a garment, and every man threw the earrings of his spoil into it. The weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold, besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks. Gideon made an ephod of it, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel played the prostitute after it there; and it became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.
主耶稣！基甸一时糊涂，制作以弗得，想当祭司，造成以色列民把以弗得当作神来祭拜和询问，害了全家。主啊！求祢保守神重用的仆人和他们的家人，不重蹈基甸的错误，把信徒对他们的敬佩变成敬拜。也求祢拯救糊里糊涂的信徒，有能力分辨，不去跟随糊涂的领导。

11月29日 温和的舌头折断骨头

士8:1-3
以法莲人对基甸说、你去与米甸人争战、没有招我们同去、为甚么这样待我们呢．他们就与基甸大大地争吵。基甸对他们说、我所行的岂能比你们所行的呢．以法莲拾取剩下的葡萄、不强过亚比以谢所摘的葡萄么。神已将米甸人的两个首领、俄立和西伊伯、交在你们手中．我所行的、岂能比你们所行的呢．基甸说了这话、以法莲人的怒气就消了。
The men of Ephraim said to him, "Why have you treated us this way, that you didn't call us, when you went to fight with Midian?" They rebuked him sharply. He said to them, "What have I now done in comparison with you? Isn't the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer? God has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb! What was I able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
主耶稣！恒常忍耐太，可以劝动君王。柔和的舌头，能折断骨头。基甸以柔和回应以法莲的无理，化解不必要的争闹。主啊！基甸以和为贵的智慧知识和能力，是我所渴求的，求主为我造一个温柔的心，使我有柔和的舌头，劝动君王，折断骨头。

11月28日 耶和华神兴起

士7:22
三百人就吹角．耶和华使全营的人用刀互相击杀、逃到西利拉的伯哈示他、直逃到靠近他巴的亚伯米何拉。
They blew the three hundred trumpets, and Yahweh set every man's sword against his fellow, and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
主耶稣！基甸和三百个勇士，以色列人战胜敌人，不用一兵一卒， 因为以色列民按照耶和华神的指示行事，耶和华神就使仇敌的全营互相攻击。主啊！我因顺服祢的命令，诫命，典章，行耶和华神所喜悦的事，耶和华神使仇敌也成为我的朋友。

11月27日 服从领袖

士7:16-18
于是基甸将三百人分作三队、把角和空瓶交在各人手里、瓶内都藏着火把．吩咐他们说、你们要看我行事．我到了营的旁边怎样行、你们也要怎样行。我和一切跟随我的人吹角的时候、你们也要在营的四围吹角、喊叫说、耶和华和基甸的刀。
He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers. He said to them, "Watch me, and do likewise. Behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do. When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, 'For Yahweh and for Gideon!'"
主耶稣！因基甸的顺服，三百个战士也完全的顺从基甸的吩咐。主啊！有时候我不是很明白领袖的作法，有时候还有不同的看法。但是，主啊！我要学习领袖顺服神的心志，态度和指示，顺从领袖，不放大自己的想法，接受他们的吩咐，去完成神的旨意。

11月26日 神除去基甸的害怕

士7:9-11
当那夜耶和华吩咐基甸说、起来、下到米甸营里去．因我已将他们交在你手中。倘若你怕下去、就带你的仆人普拉下到那营里去．你必听见他们所说的、然后你就有胆量下去攻营．于是基甸带着仆人普拉下到营旁。
It happened the same night, that Yahweh said to him, "Arise, go down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand. But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp: and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened to go down into the camp." Then went he down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
主耶稣！基甸心里害怕，耶和华神并没有责备，并且为基甸解除心里的害怕。主啊！害怕是人面对挑战，艰难，未知的反应，耶和华神如何使基甸得安稳，也求祢启示，光照，指引我，除去我的害怕。我更多倚靠祢的应许，就越来越有胆量，不再容易害怕。

11月25日 谁才是主所选的人

士7:2-4
耶和华对基甸说，跟随你的人过多，我不能将米甸人交在他们手中、免得以色列人向我夸大、说、是我们自己的手救了我们。现在你要向这些人宣告说、凡惧怕胆怯的、可以离开基列山回去．于是有二万二千人回去．只剩下一万。耶和华对基甸说、人还是过多．你要带他们下到水旁、我好在那里为你试试他们．我指点谁说、这人可以同你去、他就可以同你去．我指点谁说、这人不可同你去、他就不可同你去。
Yahweh said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.' Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.'" Twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained. Yahweh said to Gideon, "The people are still too many. Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. It shall be, that of whom I tell you, 'This shall go with you,' the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, 'This shall not go with you,' the same shall not go."
主耶稣！三万二千人，最后只有三百位才是神所选上的人。主啊！有许多自称是基督徒，然而只有那蒙召被选有忠心的才是神所选的人。我是蒙恩得救的人，我要忠心爱主，与主同行，见证神的荣耀。

11月24日 求印记的目的

士6:36-40
基甸对神说、你若果照着所说的话、藉我手拯救以色列人、我就把一团羊毛放在禾场上、若单是羊毛上有露水、别的地方都是干的、我就知道你必照着所说的话、藉我手拯救以色列人。次日早晨基甸起来、见果然是这样．将羊毛挤一挤、从羊毛中拧出满盆的露水来。基甸又对神说、求你不要向我发怒、我再说这一次．让我将羊毛再试一次．但愿羊毛是干的、别的地方都有露水。这夜神也如此行．独羊毛上是干的、别的地方都有露水。
Gideon said to God, "If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken, behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then shall I know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken." It was so; for he rose up early on the next day, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. Gideon said to God, "Don't let your anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once. Please let me make a trial just this once with the fleece. Let it now be dry only on the fleece, and on all the ground let there be dew." God did so that night: for it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
主耶稣！基甸向神求印证，是要去成就神的吩咐，耶和华神以爱心回应，成就基甸心所求。主啊！许多时候我求印记，是为了个人的目的，当我看不到印记时，就会疑惑，置疑神。求神赦免我的过犯。

11月23日 耶和华才是神

士6:30-31
城里的人对约阿施说、将你儿子交出来、好治死他、因为他拆毁了巴力的坛、砍下坛旁的木偶。约阿施回答站着攻击他的众人说、你们是为巴力争论么．你们要救他么．谁为他争论、趁早将谁治死．巴力若果是神、有人拆毁他的坛、让他为自己争论吧。
Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it." Joash said to all who stood against him, "Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? He who will contend for him, let him be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has broken down his altar."
主耶稣！基甸拆毁巴力的坛，人要抓拿基甸，父亲约阿施的回答， 巴力若果是神，有人拆毁他的坛，让他为自己争论吧。主啊！ 经上说，若有人毁坏神的殿，神必要毁坏那人．因为神的殿是圣的、这殿就是我们。我相信神的话，我们就是神的殿，凡是要折毁神的祭坛，神必定时毁坏那人。

11月22日 耶和华赐平安

士6:22-24
基甸见他是耶和华的使者、就说、哀哉、主耶和华阿、我不好了、因为我觌面看见耶和华的使者。耶和华对他说、你放心、不要惧怕、你必不至死。于是基甸在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛、起名叫耶和华沙龙〔就是耶和华赐平安的意思〕这坛在亚比以谢族的俄弗拉直到如今。
Gideon saw that he was the angel of Yahweh; and Gideon said, "Alas, Lord Yahweh! Because I have seen the angel of Yahweh face to face!" Yahweh said to him, "Peace be to you! Don't be afraid. You shall not die." Then Gideon built an altar there to Yahweh, and called it "Yahweh is Peace." To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
主耶稣！以色列人面对仇敌的欺凌，经常受到仇敌的恐吓，威胁，心中充满着恐惧不安。主啊！金钱，权威，名誉，地位，文凭，带来的安全感是脆弱的。唯有耶和华神赐的平安，带来的是安慰，安稳，安然，是又坚强又牢靠，是胜过仇敌的能力，是我所渴慕的。

11月21日 大能的勇士

士6:1-14-16
耶和华的使者向基甸显现、对他说、大能的勇士阿、耶和华与你同在。基甸说、主阿、耶和华若与我们同在、我们何至遭遇这一切事呢．我们的列祖不是向我们说、耶和华领我们从埃及上来么．他那样奇妙的作为在哪里呢．现在他却丢弃我们、将我们交在米甸人手里。耶和华观看基甸、说、你靠着你这能力去从米甸人手里拯救以色列人．不是我差遣你去的么。
The angel of Yahweh appeared to him, and said to him, "Yahweh is with you, you mighty man of valor!" Gideon said to him, "Oh, my lord, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, 'Didn't Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?' But now Yahweh has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian." Yahweh looked at him, and said, "Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven't I sent you?"
主耶稣！耶和华神认识基甸，晓得基甸的才能。主啊！祢认识我超越过我自已，神吩咐我去做的事，一定是在我的能力之内可以完成的。若是有所不能，神应许与我同在，必能帮助我去完成。我不会因为没人照神的吩咐去做而气馁，我不会轻易丧失志气。神说：我是大能的勇士，我就是！阿们！

11月20日 爱神的人

士5:31
耶和华阿、愿你的仇敌、都这样灭亡、愿爱你的人如日头出现、光辉烈烈。这样国中太平四十年。
"So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises forth in its strength." Then the land had rest forty years.
主耶稣！爱祢的人，心中火热，热心行善，心中喜乐，喜爱公义，如同明光，所到之处，黑暗消失，四处散发基督的香气，消灭仇敌，止住恶行，圣父得荣耀，圣子被高举，圣灵得尊崇。主啊！愿爱神的人中有我的名字，愿我的一生如日头出现，光辉烈烈。

11月19日 要得全胜

士4:23-24
这样、神使迦南王耶宾、被以色列人制伏了。从此以色列人的手、越发有力、胜了迦南王耶宾、直到将他灭绝了。
So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel. The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
主耶稣！以色列民打败迦南王耶宾，经上说：直到将他灭绝了。主啊！祢在十字架上，担当世人的罪，受死，复活，升天，预备地方，再回来，迎接我们，祢胜过罪，胜过掌死权的，这是全得胜。祢的得胜功效天天发效在我身上，使我越发有力胜过肉体的软弱。

11月18日 必要得荣耀

士4:8-9
巴拉说、你若同我去、我就去．你若不同我去、我就不去。底波拉说、我必与你同去、只是你在所行的路上、得不着荣耀．因为耶和华要将西西拉交在一个妇人手里。于是底波拉起来、与巴拉一同往基低斯去了。
Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go." She said, "I will surely go with you: nevertheless, the journey that you take shall not be for your honor; for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
主耶稣！因为巴拉的信心只在底波拉，虽然打胜战，却得不着荣耀。主啊！我的信心在于神，我相信领袖与神的话对齐的启示，我更相信我是蒙召被选有忠心的人，所以我要勇敢同羔羊一起与恶魔来争战，我深深相信，我必要得胜，也必得荣耀。

11月17日 居安不忘神作为

士3:11-12
于是国中太平四十年。基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂死了。以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事、耶和华就使摩押王伊矶伦强盛、攻击以色列人。
The land had rest forty years. Othniel the son of Kenaz died. The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
主耶稣！以色列民国泰民安，敬虔一代过世，新一代在安居中生活，忘了耶和华神的作为和训诲。主啊！谢谢祢的保守和祝福了我们这一代，求主圣灵加添智慧和能力，帮助我们的下一代，拥有正直，真实，博爱的知识，足以抵御世界歪曲，虚假，自我的知识。感谢，赞美主！

11月16日 神的灵降在人身上

士3:9-10
以色列人呼求耶和华的时候、耶和华就为他们兴起一位拯救者救他们、就是迦勒兄弟、基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂。耶和华的灵降在他身上、他就作了以色列的士师、出去争战．耶和华将米所波大米王古珊利萨田交在他手中、他便胜了古珊利萨田。
When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. The Spirit of Yahweh came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
主耶稣！耶和华神的灵降在俄陀聂(神的狮子)身上，他就作了以色列的士师。主啊！祢向天父求圣灵，圣灵就降下，浇灌在信祢名的人身上，他们就得着能力作耶和华神的工和成为神的见证人，胜过肉体的情欲，眼目的情欲和今生的骄傲，战胜黑暗的权势。哈利路亚！感谢天父，谢谢圣灵的浇灌在我身上。

11月15日 神试验以色列人

士3:3-4
所留下的、就是非利士的五个首领、和一切迦南人、西顿人、并住利巴嫩山的希未人、从巴力黑们山、直到哈马口。留下这几族、为要试验以色列人、知道他们肯听从耶和华藉摩西吩咐他们列祖的诫命不肯。
The five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath. They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of Yahweh, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
主耶稣！非利士人是移居者，迦南人是商人，西顿是打猎者，希未是村民，巴力黑们是破坏之神。主啊！我们正在这当中生活和作息。我要保守我的心，坚守耶和华神的法则，我关心移民者却不被移居者感化，与商人来往却不同伙，与猎人交往却不伤害人，与村民同住却不被同化。虽然四周有破坏之神，却蒙天使天军的保护。我天天信靠主的名，主宝血的遮盖，和圣灵的宝剑，天天得胜。

11月14日 未曾晓得的战事

士3:1-2,4-5
耶和华留下这几族、为要试验那不曾知道与迦南争战之事的以色列人．好叫以色列的后代、又知道又学习未曾晓得的战事。留下这几族、为要试验以色列人、知道他们肯听从耶和华藉摩西吩咐他们列祖的诫命不肯。以色列人竟住在迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人中间、
娶他们的女儿为妻、将自己的女儿嫁给他们的儿子、并事奉他们的神。
Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan; only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it: They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of Yahweh, which he commanded their fathers by Moses. The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
主耶稣！以色列人与外邦人通婚，随后事奉外邦人的神，因为忘记祖先争战的历史。主啊！我要记录我这一代如何信靠主，在生命，生活，作息上胜过撒旦的攻击和诱惑。求祢保守我家的下一代，因为他未曾晓得这些战事。求祢赐给他们灵里刚强的恩典，尤其是在婚姻这件事上得胜。

11月13日 为什么神不除尽恶人

士2:21-23
所以约书亚死的时候所剩下的各族、我必不再从他们面前赶出．为要藉此试验以色列人、看他们肯照他们列祖谨守遵行我的道不肯。这样耶和华留下各族、不将他们速速赶出、也没有交付约书亚的手。
I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died; that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Yahweh to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not." So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
主耶稣！耶和华神没有除尽恶人，为要试验以色列人。主啊！祢让恶人留在地上，也在试验我，求祢打开我属灵的眼睛看待恶人，我要学习效法祢如何看使徒保罗，如何看待妓女玛利亚的思维，也要学习效法使徒保罗如何看待尼哥底母的思维。更要学习发现自己的恶行，不再效法恶人。

11月12日 失传

士2:7-10
约书亚在世和约书亚死后、那些见耶和华为以色列人所行大事的长老还在的时候、百姓都事奉耶和华。那世代的人、也都归了自己的列祖．后来有别的世代兴起、不知道耶和华、也不知道耶和华为以色列人所行的事。
The people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel. Also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, who didn't know Yahweh, nor yet the work which he had worked for Israel.
主耶稣！耶和华神在以色列民当中行许多奇迹，因为忽略了传承的教育，后来的世代不知道耶和华神和神的作为。主啊！我要留意记录耶和华神在我和我家所行的奇事，要按节日与家人分享神的荣耀，恩典和作为。求祢保守我家，代代都有存感恩和记念神慈爱的心。

11月11日 主啊！我明白

士1:19
耶和华与犹大同在、犹大就赶出山地的居民．只是不能赶出平原的居民、因为他们有铁车。
Yahweh was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
主耶稣！耶和华神与犹大同在，为何犹大不能赶出平原的居民？他们有铁车是主因吗？主啊！我仍然相信，在人不能，在神没有不能的事。犹大不能赶出平原的居民，不是因为铁车，是因为缺少了倚靠耶和华神的心。主啊！我明白了，我要倚靠祢，赶出我身上多年累积的不良习惯。

11月10日 犹大(赞美)当先上去

士1:1-3
约书亚死后、以色列人求问耶和华说、我们中间谁当首先上去攻击迦南人、与他们争战。耶和华说、犹大当先上去．我已将那地交在他手中。犹大对他哥哥西缅说、请你同我到拈阄所得之地去、好与迦南人争战．以后我也同你到你拈阄所得之地去．于是西缅与他同去。
It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Yahweh, saying, "Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?"
Yahweh said, "Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand." Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot." So Simeon went with him.
主耶稣！ 当我读到"犹大当先上去"，我就想到约沙法王设立歌唱的人、颂赞耶和华、使他们穿上圣洁的礼服、走在军前赞美耶和华、说、当称谢耶和华．因他的慈爱永远长存。众人方唱歌赞美的时候、耶和华就派伏兵击杀那来攻击犹大人的亚扪人、摩押人、和西珥山人．他们就被打败了。主啊！凡事我要以赞美耶和华神为先。

Who is Jesus?

In chemistry,
He turned water to wine.

In biology,
He was born without the normal conception;

In physics,
He disapproved the law of gravity when He ascended into heaven;

In economics,
He disapproved the law of
diminishing return by feeding 5000 men with
two fishes & 5 loaves of bread;

In medicine,
He cured the sick and the blind without administering a single dose of drugs;

In history,
He is the beginning and the end;

In government,
He said that He shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace;

In religion,
He said no one comes to the Father except through Him;

So, Who is He? He is Jesus!

The Greatest Man in History

Jesus had no servants,
yet they called Him Master.

Had no degree,
yet they called Him Teacher.

Had no medicines,
yet they called Him Healer.

He had no army,
yet kings feared Him.

He won no military battles,
yet He conquered the world.

He committed no crime,
yet they crucified Him.

He was buried in a tomb,
yet He lives today.

I feel honoured to serve such a Leader who loves us.

Join me and let's celebrate Him; He is worthy.

The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil,

The hand that will send this message to everybody shall not labor in vain,

and The mouth saying Amen to this prayer shall smile forever.

Remain in God and seek his face always.

Amen!

In God I've found everything!

11月9日 物证

书24:27
约书亚对百姓说、看哪、这石头可以向我们作见证．因为是听见了耶和华所吩咐我们的一切话、倘或你们背弃你们的　神、这石头就可以向你们作见证，免得你们背弃耶和华你们的　神。
Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of Yahweh which he spoke to us. It shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God."
主耶稣！以色列民说要事奉耶和华神，约书亚晓得人善忘，就用石头为证，帮助他们记得所承诺的。主啊！赐我智慧能够设置，我和我家必定事奉耶和华神的物证，免得我们的后裔忘了耶和华神在我们家所施的恩典和祝福，忘了要感恩和事奉耶和华神。

11月8日 我和我家必定事奉耶和华

书24:15
若是你们以事奉耶和华为不好、今日就可以选择所要事奉的、是你们列祖在大河那边所事奉的神呢、是你们所住这地的亚摩利人的神呢。至于我、和我家、我们必定事奉耶和华。
If it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh."
主耶稣！亚伯拉罕选择事奉耶和华神，带来民族，国家和整个世界的改变。历史证明，以耶和华为神，专心事奉耶和华神的家庭，代代都蒙神的眷顾。主啊！约书亚的祷告，成为我们家的宣告， 我和我家必定事奉耶和华。

11月7日 神不肯听

书24:9-10
那时摩押王西拨的儿子巴勒、起来攻击以色列人．打发人召了比珥的儿子巴兰来、咒诅你们．我不肯听巴兰的话、所以他倒为你们连连祝福。这样、我便救你们脱离巴勒的手．
Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you; but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still. So I delivered you out of his hand.
主耶稣！神听人的话，这是何等奇妙的恩典。但是，因巴兰的私欲，神就不肯再听巴兰的话。主啊！耶和华神垂听与神旨意对齐的祈求，我承认过去许多的祈求，只想到我要什么？却没有深入去想，耶和华神要的是什么？求智慧谋略的灵，大大浇灌在我身上，叫我在祈祷时，可以得着智慧的心，按神的旨意祈求，专注在讨神的喜悦，神必垂听我的祈求。

11月6日 神仍然在寻找

书24:2-3
约书亚对众民说、耶和华以色列的　神如此说、古时你们的列祖、就是亚伯拉罕、和拿鹤的父亲他拉、住在大河那边事奉别神．我将你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕、从大河那边带来、领他走遍迦南全地、又使他的子孙众多、把以撒赐给他．
Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods. I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
主耶稣！亚伯拉罕来自事奉別神的家族，唯独亚伯拉罕选择要信靠耶和华神。主啊！神就是爱，神造人是纯粹出于爱。当人迷失，叛逆，堕落，神仍然在寻找人。神寻找到亚伯拉罕，寻找到了我，我相信神也在寻找我家族中的成员，愿我的家人都能够寻见神。

11月5日 大大壮胆

书23:6
所以你们要大大壮胆、谨守遵行写在摩西律法书上的一切话．不可偏离左右。
"Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left;
主耶稣！谨守遵行神一切的律法，将会面对许多挑战和艰难，甚至有生命的危险。主啊！如今活着的不再是我，乃是祢的灵在我里面活着。我也不再只为自己喜悦的事而活，我要大大壮胆，遵循神一切的命令和法则，爱人如己而活。

11月4日 证坛，耶和华是神

书22:33
以色列人以这事为美．就称颂　神、不再提上去攻打流便人、迦得人、毁坏他们所住的地了。流便人、迦得人、给坛起名叫证坛、意思说、这坛在我们中间证明耶和华是　神。
The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad lived. The children of Reuben and the children of Gad named the altar "A Witness Between Us that Yahweh is God."
主耶稣！祢是教会的元首，却有不同宗派的教会。主啊！宗派有许多，教堂名字也有许多，唯有传扬祢是世人的救主，道路，真理，生命的教堂才是证坛。主啊！求主施恩，保守教会合神心意，专心传天国的福音。教会与教会之间，不再提攻击性的言行。

11月3日 冒犯神的罪

书22:31
祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈、对流便人、迦得人、玛拿西人说、今日我们知道耶和华在我们中间、因为你们没有向他犯了这罪。现在你们救以色列人脱离耶和华的手了。
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, "Today we know that Yahweh is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against Yahweh. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh."
主耶稣！因为流便等人行尊荣耶和华神的事，以色列人得以脱离耶和华神的手。我们亏欠神荣耀的罪，不会纯属个人的事，这就如亚当犯罪，罪从一人入了世界、死又是从罪来的、于是死就临到众人、因为众人都犯了罪。因一人的悖逆、众人成为罪人、照样、因一人的顺从、众人也成为义了。主啊！求祢赦免我们家人冒犯神的罪，求祢的宝血遮盖我和我的一家，救我们全家脱离耶和华神的手。

11月2日 应许到应验

书21:44-45
耶和华照着向他们列祖起誓所应许的一切话、使他们四境平安．他们一切仇敌中、没有一人在他们面前站立得住．耶和华把一切仇敌都交在他们手中。耶和华应许赐福给以色列家的话、一句也没有落空、都应验了。
Yahweh gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers. Not a man of all their enemies stood before them. Yahweh delivered all their enemies into their hand. Nothing failed of any good thing which Yahweh had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
主耶稣！祢应许我们，留下平安给我们、祢将祢的平安赐给我们．不像世人所赐的．在世上我们有苦难，但是我们可以放心，因为祢已经胜了世界，我们归回心里不再忧愁、也不再胆怯。主啊！从领受应许到应验，我所需要的忍耐，所当尽的责任，所当完成的工，求祢启示我，指引我，帮助我。

11月1日 我回家了

书20:4-6
那杀人的要逃到这些城中的一座城、站在城门口、将他的事情说给城内的长老们听．他们就把他收进城里、给他地方、使他住在他们中间。若是报血仇的追了他来、长老不可将他交在报血仇的手里．因为他是素无仇恨、无心杀了人的．他要住在那城里、站在会众面前听审判．等到那时的大祭司死了、杀人的才可以回到本城本家、就是他所逃出来的那城。
He shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city. They shall take him into the city with them, and give him a place, that he may live among them. If the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he struck his neighbor unintentionally, and didn't hate him before. He shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days. Then the manslayer shall return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city he fled from.'"
主耶稣！何等恩典，设立逃城，让无心犯罪的有逃生的希望。何等奥秘，在位大祭司死了，杀人者可以回家团圆。主啊！奇异恩典，我回家了，天父紧紧拥抱着我，重新装上儿子的衣袍，载上戒指，与主同座，得享宴席，心中充满极大的喜乐。

10月31日 领袖的风范

书19:49-51
以色列人按着境界分完了地业、就在他们中间将地给嫩的儿子约书亚为业．是照耶和华的吩咐、将约书亚所求的城、就是以法莲山地的亭拿西拉城、给了他．他就修那城、住在其中在。这就是祭司以利亚撒、和嫩的儿子约书亚、并以色列各支派的族长、在示罗会幕门口、耶和华面前、拈阄所分的地业．这样、他们把地分完了。
So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by its borders. The children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in their midst. According to the commandment of Yahweh, they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in the hill country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and lived there. These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.
主耶稣！以约书亚的身份，他有权力选择所想要的城。然而，他选择谦让，以民同等，放弃特权，同样的过程得产业。主啊！这是敬畏祢名的领袖，先满足神的心意，把己意留在最后，是我所敬佩，决心要效法的领袖风范。

10月30日 在等什么

书18:3-4
约书亚对以色列人说、耶和华你们列祖的神所赐给你们的地、你们耽延不去得、要到几时呢．你们每支派当选举三个人、我要打发他们去、他们就要起身走遍那地、按着各支派应得的地业写明．就回到我这里来。
Joshua said to the children of Israel, "How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you. Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.
主耶稣！以色民进入应许之地，却耽延不去得地为业。主啊！祢来要我得生命，并且得的更丰盛。我承认是我的懒散，爱享受旧日的成就感，缺乏要得到神应许丰盛生命的心志，对操练敬虔的事不冷不热。主啊！救我，免得我的信心随波逐流，不进则退。
