申命記第十五章：敞開你的手，成為祝福
申命記第十五章是一章充滿憐憫和恩典的信息。神透過摩西教導以色列人，要如何對待貧窮的人、欠債的人和自己的僕人。這一章讓我們看見，神所關心的不只是人的敬拜，也非常重視我們如何對待身邊有需要的人。
其中一個重要的制度，就是「豁免年」。每逢七年，欠債的人可以得到豁免。這不是單純一項經濟制度，而是神要教導祂的百姓：不要讓金錢成為我們的主人，也不要因為別人的困境而失去憐憫。
神甚至提醒百姓：「你要謹慎，不可心裡起惡念。」因為當第七年快到時，債主可能會想：「如果我現在借錢給他，他很快就不用還了，那我豈不是損失？」
這正是人性的掙扎。
我們有時候願意幫助別人，但當我們想到「我會不會吃虧？」、「他會不會利用我？」、「我付出了會不會沒有回報？」我們的心就開始關閉。
但是神說：「總要向他鬆開手。」
這句話非常值得我們思想。
神希望祂的百姓是一群願意敞開手的人。
當然，敞開手並不代表我們不需要智慧，也不是說任何人提出要求，我們都必須毫無分辨地答應。但它提醒我們，不要讓自私、貪婪和害怕損失，使我們失去憐憫人的心。
神也說：「原來那地上的窮人永不斷絕。」因此，祂吩咐百姓要向弟兄鬆開手，慷慨幫助有需要的人。
今天我們仍然可以在生活中實踐這個原則。
我們可以幫助有需要的弟兄姊妹，可以關心孤單的人，可以為有困難的人禱告，也可以用自己的時間、能力和資源成為別人的祝福。
申命記十五章另一個重要的信息，是關於希伯來僕人的釋放。
僕人服事六年，第七年就可以自由離開。而且主人離開僕人的時候，不可以空手叫他走，要從羊群、禾場和酒醡中豐豐富富地給他。
這裡再次讓我們看見神的心：神不希望祂的百姓利用別人的困境，而是要以尊嚴和恩慈對待人。
為什麼？
因為以色列人自己也曾經在埃及作奴僕。他們曾經經歷被欺壓、沒有自由的生活。神救贖了他們，所以他們也應該記得自己的過去，用憐憫對待別人。
這對基督徒是一個很重要的提醒。
我們今天能夠站立，不是因為我們比別人好，而是因為我們也曾經是需要神憐憫的人。
我們蒙了主耶穌的赦免，就應該學習赦免別人；我們領受了神的恩典，就應該把恩典分享出去。
申命記十五章最後也提醒以色列人，要把頭生的牲畜獻給神。這再次提醒我們：一切最好的，都應該首先歸給神。
因此，本章可以濃縮成三個信息：
第一，神要我們有憐憫的心。
不要只看自己的需要，也要看見別人的需要。
第二，神要我們成為慷慨的人。
不要讓金錢和害怕損失控制我們，要相信神是我們真正的供應者。
第三，神要我們記得自己也是蒙恩的人。
我們今天所有的，不是完全靠自己的能力得來，而是神的恩典。
所以，當我們心裡煩躁、紛亂，甚至因生活壓力而感到缺乏時，不要只把目光放在「我還缺少什麼」，也可以思想：「神已經給了我什麼？」
當我們數算神的恩典，心就會慢慢從憂慮轉向感恩。
願我們不只是接受神的祝福，也成為神祝福別人的管道。
求主使我們的手不緊閉，心不冷淡，眼睛看見有需要的人；更讓我們相信，當我們忠心跟隨神時，我們真正的供應者永遠是神。
禱告
親愛的天父，
感謝祢藉著申命記第十五章教導我們，要有憐憫的心，要慷慨施予，也要記得祢是我們生命真正的供應者。
主啊，我們承認自己的心有時候很容易變得自私。我們看見別人的需要，卻首先想到自己的損失；我們害怕自己不夠，所以不敢敞開自己的手。
求祢赦免我們。
求聖靈改變我們，使我們不再被貪婪、恐懼和自私捆綁。賜我們一顆慷慨的心，使我們懂得與人分享，也願意幫助有需要的人。
主啊，求祢賜我們智慧，使我們在幫助別人的事情上有愛心，也有分辨能力。讓我們不是為了人的稱讚而施予，而是真心因為愛祢、愛人而付出。
主啊，求祢提醒我們，我們今天所擁有的一切都是從祢而來。無論是金錢、時間、健康、工作、家庭、能力和機會，都不是理所當然。
教導我們成為忠心的管家，把最好的獻給祢，也願意使用祢所賜的資源成為別人的祝福。
當我們自己有需要的時候，也求祢安慰我們。當我們擔心明天、擔心生活、擔心金錢，甚至心裡煩躁紛亂時，求祢使我們安靜下來，相信祢知道我們的需要。
讓我們不要只看自己的缺乏，而是學習數算祢過去的恩典。
主啊，我們也為身邊有需要的人禱告。求祢記念貧窮的、孤單的、失業的、失去盼望的，以及正在經歷困難的人。求祢親自供應他們，也使用我們成為祢的手和腳，將愛與幫助帶給他們。
感謝祢，因為我們本來也是不配的人，卻因著主耶穌基督得著赦免和救恩。
既然我們已經領受祢豐盛的恩典，求祢幫助我們也把恩典分享給別人。
主啊，求祢使我們的心柔軟，使我們的手敞開，使我們的眼睛看見人的需要。
當世界充滿冷漠和自私時，願我們的生命成為一份溫暖的見證；讓人從我們身上看見基督的愛、憐憫和恩典。
求祢保守我們每天都安靜倚靠祢，在缺乏中相信祢，在豐富中感謝祢，在有餘時幫助別人。
我們如此禱告，是奉主耶穌基督寶貴的聖名。
阿們。

Deuteronomy chapter 15: Open your hands and become a blessing
Deuteronomy chapter 15 is a message full of mercy and grace. Through Moses, God taught the Israelites how to treat the poor, those in debt, and His servants. This chapter shows us that God cares not only about human worship but also places great importance on how we treat those around us in need.
One important system is the “Year of Forgiveness.” Every seven years, debtors can be forgiven. This is not just an economic system, but a teaching from God to His people: do not let money be our master, and do not lose mercy because of others’ difficulties
God even reminded the people, “Be careful not to harbor evil thoughts in your heart.” Because as the seventh year approaches, creditors may think, “If I lend him money now, he won’t have to repay soon, wouldn’t I be at a loss?”
This is precisely the struggle of human nature.
Sometimes we’re willing to help others, but when we think, “Will I suffer a loss?” “Will he use me?” “Will my efforts go unrewarded?” Our hearts start to close off.
But God says, “Let go of Him.”
This statement is very worth pondering.
God wants His people to be a group willing to open their hands.
Of course, opening our hands does not mean we do not need wisdom, nor does it mean we must agree without discernment to anyone’s request. But it reminds us not to let selfishness, greed, and fear of loss cause us to lose our compassionate hearts.
God also said, “For the poor on the earth will never cease to exist.” Therefore, He commanded the people to let go of their hands to their brothers and generously help those in need.
Today, we can still practice this principle in our lives.
We can help brothers and sisters in need, care for those who are lonely, pray for those in need, and use our time, ability, and resources to be a blessing to others.
Another important message in Deuteronomy 15 concerns the release of Hebrew servants.
A servant serves for six years, and in the seventh year he can leave freely. And when the master leaves the servant, he must not leave empty-handed, but give him plenty from the flock, threshing floor, and wine.
Here we again see God’s heart: God does not want His people to take advantage of others’ difficulties, but rather to treat people with dignity and kindness
Why?
Because the Israelites themselves had once been slaves in Egypt. They had experienced oppression and a life without freedom. God redeemed them, so they should also remember their past and treat others with compassion.
This serves as an important reminder for Christians.
We are able to stand today not because we are better than others, but because we too were once people who needed God’s mercy.
Since we have received the Lord Jesus’ forgiveness, we should learn to forgive others; We have received God’s grace, so we should share that grace with others.
Deuteronomy chapter 15 also reminds the Israelites to offer their firstborn livestock to God. This reminds us once again: all the best should be given first to God
Therefore, this chapter can be summarized into three messages:
First, God wants us to have a merciful heart.
Don’t just focus on your own needs; also recognize the needs of others.
Second, God wants us to be generous people.
Don’t let money and fear of loss control us; believe that God is our true provider.
Third, God wants us to remember that we are also people who have received grace.
What we have today is not entirely by our own ability, but by God’s grace.
So, when our hearts are restless, confused, or even feel lacking due to life’s pressures, we shouldn’t just focus on ‘What am I still lacking?’ Instead, we can reflect: ‘What has God already given me?’
As we count God’s grace, our hearts gradually shift from worry to gratitude.
May we not only receive God’s blessings, but also become channels for God to bless others.
May the Lord keep our hands tightly shut, our hearts not cold, and our eyes see those in need; And let us believe that when we faithfully follow God, our true providers are always God.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for teaching us through Deuteronomy chapter 15 to have a merciful heart, to give generously, and to remember that You are the true provider of our lives.
Lord, we admit that sometimes our hearts can easily become selfish. We see others’ needs, but first think of our own losses; We fear we are not enough, so we dare not open our hands.
Please forgive us.
Ask the Holy Spirit to change us so that we are no longer bound by greed, fear, and selfishness. Grant us a generous heart so that we know how to share with others and are willing to help those in need.
Lord, please grant us wisdom so that we may be loving and discerning in helping others. Let us not give for others’ praise, but to give sincerely out of love for You and for others.
Lord, remind us that everything we have today comes from You. Money, time, health, work, family, ability, and opportunity are not taken for granted.
Teach us to be faithful stewards, offering the best to You and willing to use the resources You give to be a blessing to others.
When we ourselves have needs, please comfort us as well. When we worry about tomorrow, life, money, or even our hearts are restless and confused, please calm us down and trust that You know our needs.
Let us not only focus on our own shortcomings, but learn to count Your past graces.
Lord, we also pray for those around us who are in need. Please remember the poor, the lonely, the unemployed, those who have lost hope, and those who are going through hardship. Please personally provide for them, and use us to be Your hands and feet, bringing love and help to them.
Thank You, for we too were unworthy people, yet through the Lord Jesus Christ we have received forgiveness and salvation.
Since we have already received Your abundant grace, please help us to share grace with others as well.
Lord, please soften our hearts, open our hands, and let our eyes see the needs of people.
When the world is filled with indifference and selfishness, may our lives be a warm testimony; Let people see in us Christ’s love, mercy, and grace.
Please keep us to quietly rely on You every day, to trust You in lack, to thank You in abundance, and to help others in surplus.
We pray this way in the precious holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
