父母為孩子的預備如同神為你我的預備

今天的經文讓我想到一個家庭的景況
父母為了孩子的到來預備了家庭
而這個家庭的父母為了孩子更預備了許多的祝福

當然父母也想到了孩子的成長需要與可能發生的問題
於是除了祝福之外也訂了家規

與一般家規不同的是神的家規只有一則
「只是分別善惡樹上的果子，你不可吃，因為你吃的日子必定死！」

想想這則家規
一開始神的孩子就因為受引誘而無法遵守
但是這依然無損於神原本的祝福

我確信神知道你我的思想
你我的罪行也在神的掌管之中
但神依然要祝福你我

作為一個修理、看守家園的孩子
有時候出了狀況無法持續守約
神的懲罰就隨即到來

因此守約不是為了他人
而是為了自己

當你我願意持守在神面前的約定
我們才能在困難環境中成長茁壯





創世記

2:4 創造天地的來歷，在耶和華　神造天地的日子，乃是這樣，
These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
2:5 野地還沒有草木，田間的菜蔬還沒有長起來；因為耶和華　神還沒有降雨在地上，也沒有人耕地，
when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up -- for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;
2:6 但有霧氣從地上騰，滋潤遍地。
but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground --
2:7 耶和華　神用地上的塵土造人，將生氣吹在他鼻孔裡，他就成了有靈的活人，名叫亞當。
then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
2:8 耶和華　神在東方的伊甸立了一個園子，把所造的人安置在那裡。
And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
2:9 耶和華　神使各樣的樹從地裡長出來，可以悅人的眼目，其上的果子好作食物。園子當中又有生命樹和分別善惡的樹。
And out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
2:10 有河從伊甸流出來，滋潤那園子，從那裡分為四道：
A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers.
2:11 第一道名叫比遜，就是環繞哈腓拉全地的。在那裡有金子，
The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
2:12 並且那地的金子是好的；在那裡又有珍珠和紅瑪瑙。
and the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there.
2:13 第二道河名叫基訓，就是環繞古實全地的。
The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of Cush.
2:14 第三道河名叫底格里斯，流在亞述的東邊。第四道河就是幼發拉底河。
And the name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
2:15 耶和華　神將那人安置在伊甸園，使他修理，看守。
The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.
2:16 耶和華　神吩咐他說：「園中各樣樹上的果子，你可以隨意吃，
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
2:17 只是分別善惡樹上的果子，你不可吃，因為你吃的日子必定死！」
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die."
