今晚小孩說他的電腦跑不太動
要我幫他看一下
我看了嚇一跳
因為它下載很多的軟體程式佔據了大部分的空間
而當C槽的空間幾乎要接近0的時候
也就是電腦執行的程式太多所以變得很慢
唯一處裡的方式大概就是幫他殺掉這一大堆沒用的程式
於是我跟他立了約定
就是他想要留那些程式讓我知道
其他的我都砍掉
就這樣這個晚上變成了我的電腦課程
從今天的經文我們看見
神跟亞伯蘭立了約定
這約定是一個最大的祝福
亞伯蘭必定要守約
以免又是錯誤連連
這讓我想到這跟今晚幫小孩搞定電腦的問題是一樣的
若原本在我們的生命裡下載了許多的程式
而這些程式不但沒有成為你我的幫助
反而處處成為我們生命的阻礙
那麼我們需要的是求神挪去這些使我們生命無法前行的問題
新的名字是一個新的約定
代表你我的生命要被更新
相信神正是生命更新的約定
讓神來移除你生命的舊有程式
給予你一個新的生命
跑不動的人生只因為
你我生命裝載了太多的非神意念
人生能夠快樂向前的動力只在乎
讓主耶穌的意念成為你我生命的意念
創世記
17:1 亞伯蘭年九十九歲的時候,耶和華向他顯現,對他說:「我是全能的 神。你當在我面前作完全人,
When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless.
17:2 我就與你立約,使你的後裔極其繁多。」
And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."
17:3 亞伯蘭俯伏在地; 神又對他說:「
Then Abram fell on his face; and God said to him,
17:4 我與你立約:你要作多國的父。
"Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.
17:5 從此以後,你的名不再叫亞伯蘭,要叫亞伯拉罕,因為我已立你作多國的父。
No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
17:6 我必使你的後裔極其繁多;國度從你而立,君王從你而出。
I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come forth from you.
17:7 我要與你並你世世代代的後裔堅立我的約,作永遠的約,是要作你和你後裔的 神。
And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.
17:8 我要將你現在寄居的地,就是迦南全地,賜給你和你的後裔永遠為業,我也必作他們的 神。」
And I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."
17:9 神又對亞伯拉罕說:「你和你的後裔必世世代代遵守我的約。
And God said to Abraham, "As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.
17:10 你們所有的男子都要受割禮;這就是我與你並你的後裔所立的約,是你們所當遵守的。
This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
17:11 你們都要受割禮【原文是割陽皮;14,23,24,25節同】;這是我與你們立約的證據。
You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
17:12 你們世世代代的男子,無論是家裡生的,是在你後裔之外用銀子從外人買的,生下來第八日,都要受割禮。
He that is eight days old among you shall be circumcised; every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house, or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring,
17:13 你家裡生的和你用銀子買的,都必須受割禮。這樣,我的約就立在你們肉體上作永遠的約。
both he that is born in your house and he that is bought with your money, shall be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant.
17:14 但不受割禮的男子必從民中剪除,因他背了我的約。」
Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."
