為著子女愁煩的父母

以撒跟利百加常因以掃的妻子內心愁煩
很多時候我們會歸究其原因乃是因為娶了外邦女子為妻
的確夫妻之間信仰的不同似乎很難彼此尊重
所以常常會在教會當中聽到家庭“杯具”與“餐具”(悲劇與慘劇)

不過話說回來就算是不同宗教信仰的夫妻
還是依然會為了其他的事情爭執
但...就算是相同宗教信仰的夫妻
還是一樣會為家庭裡其他的事情而有所爭執

在現代...外邦女子的問題或是男子的問題
都只是家庭問題的一部分
而更多的家庭問題則來自於雙方的家庭環境與價值觀

原生家庭塑造出孩子的個性、品格與價值觀
婚姻則是由不同的家庭的兩個孩子結婚
於是兩個人的家庭變成了兩個家族的家庭
在當中因著不同的個性、品格與價值觀而相互摩差

所以以撒與利百加心煩
是因著以掃受到婚姻的影響而使他們擔憂呢？
或是因著媳婦的生活方式與他們不同而使他們擔憂呢？
這個問題我們可以一起來想一想

願上帝賜福你我
不因子女的婚姻而擔憂
此刻你我可以
繼續為他們的婚姻禱告
直到你我放心為止

(或許兩老所擔憂以掃的問題是：老婆說啥就是啥？！)





創世記

26:23 以撒從那裡上別是巴去。
From there he went up to Beer-sheba.
26:24 當夜耶和華向他顯現，說：「我是你父親亞伯拉罕的　神，不要懼怕！因為我與你同在，要賜福給你，並要為我僕人亞伯拉罕的緣故，使你的後裔繁多。」
And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father; fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your descendants for my servant Abraham's sake."
26:25 以撒就在那裡築了一座壇，求告耶和華的名，並且支搭帳棚；他的僕人便在那裡挖了一口井。
So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there. And there Isaac's servants dug a well.
26:26 亞比米勒，同他的朋友亞戶撒和他的軍長非各，從基拉耳來見以撒。
Then Abim'elech went to him from Gerar with Ahuz'zath his adviser and Phicol the commander of his army.
26:27 以撒對他們說：「你們既然恨我，打發我走了，為甚麼到我這裡來呢？」
Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?"
26:28 他們說：「我們明明地看見耶和華與你同在，便說，不如我們兩下彼此起誓，彼此立約，
They said, "We see plainly that the LORD is with you; so we say, let there be an oath between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you,
26:29 使你不害我們，正如我們未曾害你，一味地厚待你，並且打發你平平安安地走。你是蒙耶和華賜福的了。」
that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD."
26:30 以撒就為他們設擺筵席，他們便吃了喝了。
So he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
26:31 他們清早起來彼此起誓。以撒打發他們走，他們就平平安安地離開他走了。
In the morning they rose early and took oath with one another; and Isaac set them on their way, and they departed from him in peace.
26:32 那一天，以撒的僕人來，將挖井的事告訴他說：「我們得了水了。」
That same day Isaac's servants came and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."
26:33 他就給那井起名叫示巴；因此那城叫做別是巴，直到今日。
He called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.
26:34 以掃四十歲的時候娶了赫人比利的女兒猶滴，與赫人以倫的女兒巴實抹為妻。
When Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith the daughter of Be-e'ri the Hittite, and Bas'emath the daughter of Elon the Hittite;
26:35 她們常使以撒和利百加心裡愁煩。
and they made life bitter for Isaac and Rebekah.
