是是誰 D+ 看世界~*

所有的事情都有前因後果

雅各在此時遇到人生中最大的打擊
他便想到這所有一切的問題都來自於他的過去
於是他說：這些事都歸到我身上了

當人犯罪的時候都會認為沒問題
但是等到最後所發生的結果卻是傷了自己也傷了別人

當人心存憤怒將醜話說出口的時候都會認為沒問題
但是等到最後所發生的結果是讓自己無地自容

今天的經文提醒我們：為何要等到最後？
如果現在改變心意是否還來得及
如果現在收回憤怒是否能扭轉局面
如果現在承認自己的錯誤是否能夠獲得諒解

因為我們有如此多的“是否”
於是我們便忘了在主裡的恩典

信仰能幫助你我及時回轉，
不用等到最後懊悔的苦惱。

願神賜福你我
在耶穌基督裡重新得力





創世記

42:29 他們來到迦南地、他們的父親雅各那裡，將所遭遇的事都告訴他，說：
And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
42:30 「那地的主對我們說嚴厲的話，把我們當作窺探那地的奸細。
The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. roughly...: Heb. with us hard things
42:31 我們對他說：『我們是誠實人，並不是奸細。
And we said unto him, We are true men ; we are no spies:
42:32 我們本是弟兄十二人，都是一個父親的兒子，有一個沒有了，頂小的如今同我們的父親在迦南地。』
We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
42:33 那地的主對我們說：『若要我知道你們是誠實人，可以留下你們中間的一個人在我這裡，你們可以帶著糧食回去，救你們家裡的饑荒。
And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men ; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
42:34 把你們的小兄弟帶到我這裡來，我便知道你們不是奸細，乃是誠實人。這樣，我就把你們的弟兄交給你們，你們也可以在這地做買賣。』」
And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
42:35 後來他們倒口袋，不料，各人的銀包都在口袋裡；他們和父親看見銀包就都害怕。
And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
42:36 他們的父親雅各對他們說：「你們使我喪失我的兒子：「約瑟沒有了，西緬也沒有了，你們又要將便雅憫帶去；這些事都歸到我身上了。」
And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children : Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away : all these things are against me.
42:37 流便對他父親說：「我若不帶他回來交給你，你可以殺我的兩個兒子。只管把他交在我手裡，我必帶他回來交給你。」
And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
42:38 雅各說：「我的兒子不可與你們一同下去；他哥哥死了，只剩下他，他若在你們所行的路上遭害，那便是你們使我白髮蒼蒼、悲悲慘慘地下陰間去了。」
And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
