你們不可硬著心,像當日在米利巴,就是在曠野的瑪撒。那時, 你們的祖宗試我探我,並且觀看我的作為。四十年之久, 我厭煩那世代,說: 這是心裏迷糊的百姓, 竟不曉得我的作為!所以,我在怒中起誓,說: 他們斷不可進入我的安息! (詩篇 95:8-11)
This
psalm of praise is ended with the serious warning to us. God led
Israelites out from Egypt where they were in slaves. He did miraculous
things and led them in person, day and night. However, the Israelites
still complains all the way, about water, food, everything. Lack of
faith and ungrateful heart is the very reason that they had
to spend 40 years in the wilderness and could not go into the promise
land. "They have seen what I did; yet still have not known my ways. They
shall never enter my rest". What a warning to us as well! How many
times we complain the things that not fulfilled as our plan, complain
the circumstances, but when looking back, we cannot be more grateful
that God has accomplish so many miraculous deeds and He is leading us
all the way through these circumstances. Oh God, let us know your ways
and enter into your rest.
