認識上帝與尊崇上帝之間的差別
在出埃及記第九章，上帝降下了數場災難：牲畜死亡、痛苦的膿包，以及毀滅性的冰雹風暴。透過這些判斷，上帝反覆宣告祂的旨意：
「要你們知道，世上沒有像我這樣的人」（出埃及記9：14）。
法老親眼見證了上帝的力量。他看見了奇蹟、警告和悔改的機會。他甚至坦白說：「這次我犯了罪。耶和華是公義的」（出埃及記 9：27）。然而危機過去後，他的心又變得冷硬。
本章提醒我們，承認上帝的能力，卻不必真正臣服於祂。法老害怕審判的後果，但他不愛也不服從上帝。真正的信心不僅僅是暫時的悔恨——它是一顆以信靠與順服轉向主的心。
出埃及記第九章也揭示了上帝的憐憫。在降下冰雹之前，上帝警告埃及人要將僕人和牲畜帶到庇護之下。那些聽從的人被饒恕了。即使在審判中，上帝也提供了保護的方式。這讓我們看到上帝的品格：祂是聖潔公正的，卻又充滿憐憫，願意拯救那些聽從祂話語的人。
今天，上帝仍然呼召我們，不僅要在困難時刻認出祂，而是每天與祂同行。試煉或許能揭示我們心中所想。我們會像法老那樣回應，當解脫降臨後心變得堅硬，還是以謙卑的信心和持久的順服回應？
我們祈禱：
天父，
我們感謝祢，因為祢是萬物的主權主宰。天上地上無人能及你。你的能力大，你的公義完美，你的慈悲永遠長存。
主啊，當我們反思出埃及記第九章時，請保護我們不讓心像法老那樣。請我們不要只在困難出現時才尋求祢，然後在生活變得容易時忘記祢。求祢賜給我們柔軟、謙卑、願意順服祢聲音的心。
請原諒我們曾經抗拒祢的旨意，或信賴自己的力量。教導我們敬畏祢，忠心行走在祢面前。當你糾正我們時，請幫助我們帶著感恩接受你的管教，因為你渴望將我們拉近自己。
感謝祢的憐憫，賜予庇護與救贖。感謝祢藉著祢的兒子耶穌基督顯明的恩典，藉著祂我們得得赦免與永生。
願我們的生命宣告，唯有祢是主。堅固我們的信心，深化我們的順服，並在各種情況下幫助我們榮耀祢。
奉耶穌基督的名禱告。
阿門。

The Difference Between Knowing About God and Honoring God
In Exodus 9, God sends several plagues upon Egypt: the death of livestock, painful boils, and a devastating hailstorm. Through these judgments, God repeatedly declares His purpose:
“That you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth” (Exodus 9:14).
Pharaoh witnessed God’s power firsthand. He saw miracles, warnings, and opportunities to repent. At one point he even confessed, “I have sinned this time. The LORD is righteous” (Exodus 9:27). Yet when the crisis passed, his heart became hard again.
This chapter reminds us that it is possible to acknowledge God’s power without truly surrendering to Him. Pharaoh feared the consequences of judgment, but he did not love or obey God. Genuine faith is more than temporary remorse—it is a heart that turns toward the Lord in trust and obedience.
Exodus 9 also reveals God’s mercy. Before sending the hail, God warned the Egyptians to bring their servants and livestock under shelter. Those who listened were spared. Even in judgment, God provided a way of protection. This points us to God’s character: He is holy and just, yet merciful and willing to save those who heed His word.
Today, God still calls us not merely to recognize Him during difficult times, but to walk with Him every day. Trials may reveal what is in our hearts. Will we respond like Pharaoh, who hardened his heart after relief came, or will we respond with humble faith and lasting obedience?
We pray:
Heavenly Father,
We thank You because You are the sovereign Lord over all creation. There is none like You in heaven or on earth. Your power is great, Your justice is perfect, and Your mercy endures forever.
Lord, as we reflect on Exodus 9, guard us from having a heart like Pharaoh’s. Help us not to seek You only when troubles arise, and then forget You when life becomes easier. Give us hearts that are soft, humble, and willing to obey Your voice.
Forgive us for the times we have resisted Your will or trusted in our own strength. Teach us to fear You with reverence and to walk faithfully before You. When You correct us, help us receive Your discipline with gratitude, knowing that You desire to draw us closer to Yourself.
Thank You for Your mercy, which provides refuge and salvation. Thank You for the grace revealed through Your Son, Jesus Christ, through whom we have forgiveness and eternal life.
May our lives declare that You alone are Lord. Strengthen our faith, deepen our obedience, and help us glorify You in all circumstances.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray.
Amen.
