MEDITATION
Exodus 14:13-18
13 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
15 And the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honour over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.
18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gained honour for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

沉思
《出埃及记 14：13-18》
13摩西对百姓说：“不要惧怕，只管站住，看耶和华今天向你们所要施行的救恩。因为你们今天所看见的埃及人，必永远不再看见了。
14耶和华必为你们争战，你们只管静默，不要作声。”
15耶和华对摩西说：“你为什么向我哀求呢？你吩咐以色列人往前走。
16你举手向海伸杖，把水分开，以色列人要下海中走干地。
17我要使埃及人的心刚硬，他们就跟着下去，我要在法老和他的全军、车辆、马兵上得荣耀。18我在法老和他的车辆、马兵上得荣耀的时候，埃及人就知道我是耶和华了。”
