出埃及記第10章記載了第八災「蝗災」和第九災「黑暗之災」。這一章不單是神對埃及的審判，更是顯明神的權能、人的剛硬，以及神對祂子民救贖的計劃。
1. 神掌管萬有，無人能抵擋祂
神告訴摩西，祂使法老心裡剛硬，為要彰顯祂的大能，使後代知道祂是耶和華（10:1-2）。
屬靈提醒：
有時我們不明白為何事情遲遲未解決，但神的工作往往比我們眼前所見更大。祂不僅要解決問題，更要讓人認識祂。
「你們就知道我是耶和華。」（出10:2）
2. 驕傲使人拒絕神
法老雖然一次又一次看見神的作為，卻仍然不願真正順服。
蝗蟲吞吃地上的出產後，法老雖然認罪，但只是因為災難臨到，而不是因為真心悔改。
屬靈提醒：
真正的悔改不只是害怕後果，而是願意轉向神，順服神。
3. 神要求完全的奉獻
法老提出妥協方案，只准成年人去敬拜神，把婦女和孩子留下（10:8-11）；後來又說人可以去，但牛羊要留下（10:24）。
摩西拒絕妥協：
「我們的牲畜也要帶去，連一蹄也不留下。」（出10:26）
屬靈提醒：
世界常常鼓勵信徒作「部分順服」的人，但神要的是全人的敬拜與委身，而不是剩餘的時間和精力。
4. 黑暗中的光明
第九災中，埃及全地黑暗三天，但以色列人居住的地方卻有亮光（10:22-23）。
這是一幅美麗的屬靈圖畫。
當世界被罪惡、恐懼和混亂籠罩時，神仍然成為祂百姓的光。
正如主耶穌說：
「我是世界的光；跟從我的，就不在黑暗裡走。」（約翰福音8:12）
今日的應用
- 不要像法老一樣心裡剛硬。
- 不要與世界妥協，只作部分順服的基督徒。
- 相信神仍掌管環境和歷史。
- 在黑暗的世代中，讓基督的光照耀我們的生命。
我們禱告
親愛的天父，
感謝祢藉著出埃及記第十章向我們顯明祢的大能和主權。祢是創造天地的主，萬有都在祢的手中，沒有任何勢力能攔阻祢的旨意成就。
主啊，求祢保守我們的心，不要像法老一樣剛硬。當祢藉著聖經、聖靈和環境向我們說話時，求祢賜給我們一顆柔軟受教的心，願意悔改並順服祢。
求祢幫助我們不向世界妥協，願意把生命、家庭、時間和一切所有的都獻給祢。讓我們學習完全跟從祢，而不是只作表面的敬拜。
當這世界充滿黑暗、憂慮和混亂時，求祢的真光照亮我們。讓我們因著主耶穌基督得著平安、盼望和力量，也使我們成為別人的祝福，把祢的光帶到周圍的人當中。
願我們的兒女、家人和教會都認識祢是獨一的真神，並經歷祢奇妙的拯救與恩典。
我們如此感恩禱告，是奉主耶穌基督得勝的名求。阿門

Exodus chapter 10 records the eighth plague, the plague, and the ninth, the plague of darkness. This chapter is not only God’s judgment on Egypt, but also reveals God’s power, human hardness, and God’s plan for redemption for His people.
1. God rules over all things; no one can resist Him
God told Moses that He hardened Pharaoh’s heart to demonstrate His great power so that future generations would know He is Jehovah (10:1-2).
Spiritual reminder:
Sometimes we don’t understand why things remain unresolved, but God’s work is often greater than what we see before our eyes. He not only wants to solve problems but also wants people to know Him.
“You will know that I am the LORD.” (Exodus 10:2)
2. Pride leads people to reject God
Although Pharaoh witnessed God’s actions time and again, he still refused to truly obey.
After locusts devoured the produce of the earth, Pharaoh confessed, but only because disaster had come, not out of genuine repentance.
Spiritual reminder:
True repentance is not just about fearing the consequences, but about being willing to turn to God and obey Him.
3. God requires complete dedication
Pharaoh proposed a compromise, allowing only adults to worship God, leaving women and children behind (10:8-11); Later, it says people may go, but cattle and sheep must remain (10:24).
Moses refused to compromise:
“We must take our livestock with us, not even a single hoof will be spared.” (Exodus 10:26)
Spiritual reminder:
The world often encourages believers to be “partially obedient,” but God wants whole-person worship and commitment, not the remaining time and energy.
4. Light in the dark
During the ninth plague, Egypt was shrouded in darkness for three days, but there was light in the places where the Israelites lived (10:22-23).
This is a beautiful spiritual picture.
When the world is shrouded in sin, fear, and chaos, God still becomes the light for His people.
As the Lord Jesus said:
“I am the light of the world; Those who follow me will not walk in darkness.” (John 8:12)
Today’s application
- Do not be as hardened in heart as Pharaoh.
- Do not compromise with the world, and be only partially obedient Christians.
- Believe that God still governs the environment and history.
- In this dark age, let the light of Christ shine into our lives.
We pray
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for revealing Your power and sovereignty to us through Exodus chapter 10. You are the Lord who created heaven and earth; all things are in Your hands, and no force can stop Your will from being accomplished.
Lord, please guard our hearts, not be as hardened as Pharaoh. When You speak to us through the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and your environment, please grant us a soft and taught heart willing to repent and obey You.
Please help us not to compromise with the world, and to be willing to give our lives, families, time, and everything else to You. Let us learn to follow You completely, rather than merely worshiping superficially.
When this world is filled with darkness, worry, and chaos, please enlighten us with Your true light. Let us receive peace, hope, and strength through the Lord Jesus Christ, and make us a blessing to others, bringing Your light to those around us.
May our children, families, and churches know You as the one true God and experience Your wonderful salvation and grace.
We pray with such gratitude in the name of the victorious Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
