梦游圣经66本书

日期：23/4/25

经文：出埃及记 8:1
“耶和华对摩西说：‘你进去见法老，对他说，耶和华这样说：容我的百姓去，好事奉我（或作敬拜我）。”

一、被奴役的子民：敬拜被压制

以色列人在埃及为奴，不只是失去身体的自由，更失去了敬拜的自由。法老的系统不容许他们献祭，不容许他们归回真神面前。这正是撒但工作的写照——让人忙碌、劳苦、困倦，使人无法敬拜。

属灵对照：
今日信徒也常被“埃及式”的生活捆绑，时间被吞噬，心被压迫，灵无法自由呼吸。我们不是不想敬拜，而是被挟制、疲惫、麻木。

二、出埃及的目的：不是只是得自由，而是敬拜神

神藉摩西多次宣告：“容我的百姓去，好事奉我。” 神释放我们，不是为了让我们随心所欲，而是为了让我们归回祂面前，敬拜祂，与祂相交。

属灵真理：
真正的自由，不是随意，而是能“全心全意地敬拜神”。
自由敬拜，是我们存在的目的，是得释放之后的第一反应！

三、旷野敬拜：从软弱中献上真心

以色列人在旷野中学习敬拜神——虽无圣殿，但有会幕；虽缺乏粮食，但有吗哪；虽艰难跋涉，却有云柱火柱。

反思：
我们是否愿意即使在“旷野”中，也坚持敬拜？敬拜不是在顺境中才做的事，而是在患难中更显真实的回应。

四、进入应许之地：敬拜成为生活的中心

出埃及的旅程最终通往应许之地——敬拜不再是逃亡中的片段，而是生命的常态、国度的核心。神的子民被呼召建立圣殿，过圣洁生活，成为敬拜的国度。

结语：敬拜，是我们得自由的理由

今天，神也在对我们说：“容我的百姓去，好事奉我。”
无论你在什么样的处境中，神要带你出“埃及”——脱离一切挟制、焦虑、虚空，使你成为一个自由敬拜者。

Exodus: Worship in Freedom

Date: 23 April 2025

Scripture: Exodus 8:1
“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Go to Pharaoh and say to him, “This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me.”’”

1. A People Enslaved: Worship Suppressed

The Israelites were not only physically enslaved in Egypt—they were also stripped of their freedom to worship. Pharaoh’s system forbade them from offering sacrifices or returning to the true God. This is a reflection of Satan’s work: to keep people busy, burdened, and weary, so that they cannot worship.

Spiritual Reflection:
Today, believers are often bound by an “Egypt-style” life. Time is consumed, hearts are pressured, and spirits suffocate. It’s not that we don’t want to worship—we are held back, exhausted, and numb.

2. The Purpose of the Exodus: Not Just Freedom, But Worship

God repeatedly declared through Moses: “Let my people go, so that they may worship me.” God’s deliverance is not so we can live however we please, but so that we may return to Him, worship Him, and commune with Him.

Spiritual Truth:
True freedom is not the ability to do whatever we want, but the ability to worship God wholeheartedly.
Worship in freedom is the purpose of our existence—it is the first response after being set free!

3. Worship in the Wilderness: Offering Genuine Praise from Weakness

The Israelites learned to worship in the wilderness—there was no temple, but there was a tabernacle; no abundant food, but there was manna; no ease of journey, but there was the pillar of cloud and fire.

Reflection:
Are we willing to worship even in the “wilderness”? Worship is not something reserved for times of comfort, but a genuine response especially in seasons of hardship.

4. Entering the Promised Land: Worship as a Way of Life

The journey out of Egypt ultimately led to the Promised Land—where worship was no longer a temporary act during escape, but a constant in life and the center of the kingdom. God’s people were called to build the temple, live in holiness, and become a kingdom of worshipers.

Conclusion: Worship Is the Reason for Our Freedom

Today, God is still saying: “Let my people go, so that they may worship me.”
Whatever situation you are in, God wants to bring you out of your “Egypt”—out of bondage, anxiety, and emptiness—to make you a worshiper in freedom.
