17:4 摩西就呼求耶和華說:「我向這百姓怎樣行呢?他們幾乎要拿石頭打死我。」
17:5 耶和華對摩西說:「你手裡拿著你先前擊打河水的杖,帶領以色列的幾個長老,從百姓面前走過去。
17:6 我必在何烈的磐石那裡,站在你面前。你要擊打磐石,從磐石裡必有水流出來,使百姓可以喝。」摩西就在以色列的長老眼前這樣行了。
17:7 他給那地方起名叫瑪撒(就是試探的意思),又叫米利巴(就是爭鬧的意思);因以色列人爭鬧,又因他們試探耶和華,說:「耶和華是在我們中間不是?」
4 Then
Moses cried out to the Lord, “What am I to do with these people? They are
almost ready to stone me.”
5 The Lord answered Moses, “Go out in front of the
people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the
staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6 I will
stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will
come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the
elders of Israel. 7 And he called the place Massah[a] and Meribah[b] because the Israelites quarreled and
because they tested the Lord saying, “Is the Lord among us
or not?”

人常常受環境的影響,但是屬於主的人,卻能在各樣的環境中尋求上帝。正如摩西遇到困境時,他勇敢向上帝陳明現狀,上帝就給他明確的指示該如何行,及時解決眼前的問題。也因為這樣他教導百姓:「耶和華是在我們中間不是?」
我們人生遇到問題時,有要這樣提醒自己:「耶和華是在我們中間不是?」
上帝是無所不在、無所不知的上帝,來尋求祂的必得幫助!祂是慈愛與大能的上帝,一定會帶領我們面對人生的各樣困境!
因此,「耶和華是在我們中間不是?」是我們重要的提醒!遇到任何事困尋求上帝!
