32:10 耶和華遇見他在曠野─荒涼野獸吼叫之地,就環繞他,看顧他,保護他,如同保護眼中的瞳人。
32:11 又如鷹攪動巢窩,在雛鷹以上兩翅搧展,接取雛鷹,背在兩翼之上。
32:12 這樣,耶和華獨自引導他,並無外邦神與他同在。
10 In a desert land he found him,
in a barren and howling waste.
He shielded him and cared for him;
he guarded him as the apple of his eye,
11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest
and hovers over its young,
that spreads its wings to catch them
and carries them aloft.
12 The Lord alone
led him;
no foreign god was with him.

摩西描述上帝主動的愛,這和我們覺得「上帝好像是等著人來敬畏、追求祂才賜福」的觀念大大不同﹗
人常常受到「天助自助者」的影響,以為人要先盡本分才有資格得上帝賜福。
其實上帝是主動來賜福人,不管人是不是符合條件,或是有遵守上帝的規定,才能得獎賞﹗
其實上帝是施恩的上帝,不在乎我們夠不夠資格,祂要施恩給誰,就施恩給誰;憐憫於誰,就憐憫於誰﹗
正如保羅所說:「惟有基督在我們還作罪人的時候為我們死,上帝的愛就在此向我們顯明了。」(羅馬書5:8)
上帝就是這樣的愛﹗
