1-8節--明天神必在我們中間

約書亞記 第3章

當人緊握神的應許去面對將來，總會覺得前景是一片光明的。同時，當我們成為神的兒女之後，也會更有信心去瞻望未來。第5節是一個非常寶貴的應許，可是，卻不要忽略它帶著一個明確的條件限制：「你們要自潔，明天神必在你們中間行奇事。」

你有沒有發覺，當神的百姓快將進入應許地的時候，神改變了祂的帶領方式？在過去的整整四十年，神一直是日間用雲柱，夜間用火柱來帶領他們，他們只要跟著雲柱或火柱移動或停留就行了。

如今，神的約櫃在前面引領他們。約櫃象徵神住在他們中間。單是在本章，提及約櫃的經文已不下十次。

我們因此看見，當百姓正要面對一個新的人生體驗和機會之際，神就會用新的方法來帶領他們。神並非一成不變，永遠用同一種方法來向我們顯明祂的心意。我們在使徒行傳，發現神至少用了五種不同的方式來帶領保羅。但歸根究底，神的應許卻是確定的：祂必帶領祂的百姓。無論我們要往哪裡，要開創甚麼機遇，神必會在前面引領我們，我們只要跟隨祂就行了。

我們的責任是要信從祂的帶領。但許多時候，我們並沒有專心信靠神的帶領，反而迫不及待地提議許多方法，好像要教神如何帶領我們一樣。

最後，我們還要留意一個重點：抬約櫃的人，要走在前端，百姓要在後面跟隨，兩者要相距約一哩。為甚麼要作出這種安排呢？原因有二：一是要讓百姓深刻地記著，神是聖潔的。其二，是要讓每個人都看清楚約櫃的帶領。當百姓看見約櫃向前移動，他們便在後面跟隨著向前走，所有人的步伐便能夠一致。我們今天的教會也該一樣──所有信徒都仰視著在前頭帶領的十字架，以整齊的步伐在後面跟隨。當我們都能如此跟從主的帶領，齊心邁步向前，必能到達目的地。

經文反思：

「我要教導你，指示你當行的路；我要定睛在你身上勸戒你。」詩篇三十二8

TOMMORROW WITH GOD

The future is always bright with the promises of God. It is always better on ahead when we are his children. Verse 5 is a great promise with a clear condition, Consecrate yourselves: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.

Did you notice that there is a change in Gods method of guidance for his people as they prepare to enter the Promised Land? For forty years the pillar of fire had led them. It was a cloud by day and a fire by night. They had only moved as it moved. They had stayed when it stayed.

Now it is the Ark of God which is to lead them. The Ark was also the symbol of Gods presence among them. It is mentioned no less than ten times in this chapter.

Here then, for a people standing facing new experiences and a new opportunity, is a new method of guidance. God doesnt always use the same method of guidance. God doesnt always use the same method to show us his will. There are at least five ways in the book of Acts by which he led Paul. But his promise is sure. He will guide and lead his people. He will go before into every new circumstance or opportunity. He will clearly lead us as we follow him.

Our place is to trust God for guidance. Too often we tell him how to guide us, when what we need to do is to simply believe he will show us this will in his own time and way.

One further point - the Ark was to be allowed to go ahead by almost one mile. This was for two reasons. One was to impress upon the people the holiness of God. The second was so that everyone could have a clear view of the Ark. They could see it move forward and everyone would begin to move at the same time. They moved together as a whole. That is what our churches need to have - such a clear view of Christ that the whole group moves forward together. Try it and see the results.

A VERSE FOR TODAY:

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with my eye." Psalm 32:8.
