標 題： 神永恆計劃的一部分
經 節： 又說：「我是你父親的神，是亞伯拉罕的神，以撒的神，雅各的神。」摩西蒙上臉，因為怕看神。（出埃及記三章6節）
神總是用前人的經歷，來對我們說話。當神遇到摩西，祂交給他的任務並沒有超越前人的任務。在幾百年前，神曾給亞伯拉罕、雅各和約伯應許，現在祂要摩西參與祂的事工，實現祂向摩西先祖所應許的約。
這位曾經帶領摩西、藉著以利亞作工、指示保羅、引領世代男女的神，與現在邀請你參與祂事工的神，是同一位神。你是否感到這份重要性？你是神大能計劃中的重要一部分！
我們傾向於只想到現在，我們要馬上看到結果，缺乏對永恆的意識。我們的行為，就好像神在邀請我們之前，一點也沒有動工。我們期待神透過自己所做的事工，能夠完全成就、看到結果。當神要其他人或其他世代，來完成我們所開始的事工，我們會變得沒耐心。
摩西瞭解，自己的事工是承繼神幾百年來的聖工。當摩西與曾引領自己先祖的神面對面時，他非常謙卑。你是否感受到，自己的生命是神永恆計劃的一部分？
A Part of
Somthing Bigger
Moreover He
said, “I am the God of your father–the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look
upon God. (Exodus 3:6)
God always speaks to you in the context of what He has done in the lives
of those who have gone before you. When God encountered Moses, He did not give
him an assignment independent of what He had done through those who had
preceded him. God had made promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob hundreds of
years earlier, and He was now going to involve Moses in His ongoing activity to
fulfill the covenant He had made with Moses’ forefathers.
The God who led Moses, who worked through Elijah, who directed Paul, who
guided each man and woman of God through the centuries, is the same God who
approaches you to become involved in His work. Do you sense the significance of
that? You are a vital part of something much bigger than yourself!
We tend to think only of the present. We want immediate results and lack
a sense of eternity. We often act as if God had not been working at all where
we are before He approached us. We expect that anything God does through us
will be completed while we can see the results. We become impatient if God
intends to complete what He began in us through another person or even another
generation.
Moses came to understand that his involvement in God’s work was in the
context of hundreds of years of divine activity. When Moses came face to face
with the same God who had guided his forefathers, he was deeply humbled. Do you
sense that your life is a part of God’s eternal purposes?
