約書亞記第12章：神所賜的得勝，不可忘記
約書亞記第12章看起來好像只是一份「王的名單」，讀起來可能比較沉悶，但其實這一章非常重要，因為它是在數算神曾經賜給以色列人的勝利。
一、摩西在約旦河東所擊敗的王
第1至6節首先提到，以色列人還沒有過約旦河進入迦南以前，摩西已經帶領他們戰勝了兩個重要的王：
- 亞摩利王西宏
- 巴珊王噩
這兩個王的土地後來分給流便支派、迦得支派和瑪拿西半支派。
這提醒我們：
神的工作不是從約書亞開始，乃是神一路帶領祂的百姓。
以色列人到了約書亞時代，可以繼續向前，是因為神在摩西時代已經為他們開路。
我們的人生也是一樣。
回頭看的時候，可能會發現很多事情不是靠自己的能力走過來的，而是神一步一步保守我們。
二、約書亞在約旦河西所擊敗的王
第7至24節列出約書亞在迦南地所擊敗的王。
總共有：
三十一個王。
這些王來自不同的城市和地區。
從人的角度來看，這是一個非常龐大的敵人。
但是神曾經應許約書亞：
「你平生的日子，必無一人能在你面前站立得住。」
——約書亞記1:5
到了第12章，我們看見神的應許逐漸成為事實。
這不是說以色列人沒有爭戰、沒有危險、沒有困難，而是說：
神在爭戰中與他們同在。
三、這一章最重要的信息：要「數算神的恩典」
如果我們只看第12章的王名單，很容易問：
「為甚麼聖經要記這麼多名字？」
但換一個角度看，這其實是一份神恩典的記錄。
每一個王，都代表一次爭戰。
每一個名字，都代表一段以色列人的歷史。
每一個勝利，都在告訴以色列人：
「不要忘記，是神帶領你們走到今天。」
這對我們今天也非常重要。
我們很容易記得：
- 自己還沒有得到的東西
- 自己正在面對的困難
- 禱告還沒有得到的答案
- 別人比自己好的地方
卻很容易忘記：
神已經為我們做過多少事情。
所以基督徒需要學習「數算恩典」。
不是因為我們否認現在的困難，而是因為我們知道：
今天的神，仍然是過去那位信實的神。
四、三十一個王，也提醒我們不要害怕眼前的「大山」
以色列人不是一次就把所有敵人消滅。
他們是一場又一場地爭戰。
這很像我們的信仰生活。
有時候我們會想：
「神啊，為甚麼我的問題還沒有完全解決？」
「為甚麼一個困難過去，又來另一個困難？」
約書亞記第12章讓我們看到，神帶領以色列人也是一步一步。
神沒有叫他們一天完成所有事情。
同樣地，神在我們生命中的工作，也可能是一個階段、一個階段地進行。
所以我們不要因為今天還有困難，就認為神沒有工作。
神可能正在帶領我們走過另一場爭戰。
五、得勝的榮耀歸給神
約書亞記第12章不是在誇獎約書亞有多厲害，也不是在誇獎以色列人有多強。
真正的中心是：
神信守祂的應許。
約書亞有勇氣，是因為神與他同在。
以色列人能夠得地，是因為神把土地賜給他們。
所以我們也要小心，不要把神給我們的恩典變成自己的驕傲。
當我們回頭看自己的人生，可以說：
「我很努力。」
但更重要的是說：
「感謝神，是祢一直帶領我。」
約書亞記12章給我們的三個提醒
① 不要忘記神過去的恩典
當今天遇到困難時，回想神過去怎樣幫助你。
② 不要因為敵人多就失去信心
三十一個王對以色列人來說很多，但對神來說沒有一個太大。
③ 不要把神的工作歸給自己
得勝之後，更要謙卑感謝神，因為一切恩典都是從祂而來。
禱告
約書亞記第12章禱告
親愛的天父，
我們感謝祢，因為約書亞記第12章提醒我們，祢是一位信實的神。
主啊，我們回頭看自己的生命，才發現有很多困難，我們原本以為自己過不去，但祢卻一直牽著我們的手，一步一步帶領我們走過來。
求祢赦免我們，很多時候我們只看見眼前的困難，卻忘記祢過去的恩典；只看見還沒有得到的，卻忘記祢已經賜給我們的。
主啊，求祢幫助我們學習數算恩典。
當我們面對人生中的「三十一個王」——面對一個又一個困難、一個又一個壓力的時候，求祢不要讓我們灰心，也不要讓我們被恐懼控制。
求祢提醒我們，真正的得勝不是靠自己的能力，而是因為祢與我們同在。
主啊，如果我們現在正面對一些還沒有解決的事情，求祢給我們忍耐和信心，讓我們相信祢仍然在工作。
求祢幫助我們不要只看環境，而是定睛仰望祢。
也求祢讓我們在得勝的時候不驕傲，在困難的時候不失望；無論順境逆境，都知道祢仍然是我們的神。
求祢安靜我們煩躁、紛亂的心。
讓我們把心裡的重擔交給祢，把不能控制的事情交在祢手中。
求聖靈安慰我們、堅固我們，使我們每天都有力量繼續跟隨祢。
主啊，讓我們常常記得：
祢過去怎樣帶領我們，今天祢仍然信實；
祢過去怎樣保守我們，將來祢仍然不離開我們。
願我們的一生，不只是記得自己的爭戰，更記得祢的恩典。
一切榮耀、頌讚、尊貴都歸給祢。
奉主耶穌基督得勝的名禱告，
阿們。

Joshua chapter 12: The victory given by God must not be forgotten
Joshua chapter 12 may seem like just a “list of kings” and may sound dull to read, but it is actually very important because it counts the victories God has given to the Israelites.
1. The king Moses defeated east of the Jordan River
Verses 1 to 6 first mention that before the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into Canaan, Moses had already led them to defeat two important kings:
- King of Amorit, Sihon
- King of Bashan, E
The lands of these two kings were later divided among the tribes of Reubin, Gad, and Manasseh.
This reminds us:
God’s work did not begin with Joshua, but was He leading His people all the way.
When the Israelites reached Joshua’s time, they could continue forward because God had already opened the way for them in Moses’ time.
Our lives are the same.
Looking back, we may realize that many things were not made by our own abilities, but that God kept us step by step.
2. The king Joshua defeated in the west of the Jordan River
Verses 7 to 24 list the kings Joshua defeated in the land of Canaan.
In total, there are:
Thirty-one kings.
These kings came from different cities and regions.
From a human perspective, this is a very massive enemy.
But God had promised Joshua:
“In your lifetime, no one will be able to stand before you.”
——Joshua 1:5
By chapter 12, we see God’s promises gradually becoming reality.
This does not mean the Israelites had no wars, no danger, and no difficulties, but rather:
God was with them in battle.
3. The Most Important Message in This Chapter: ‘Count God’s Grace’
If we only look at the list of kings in chapter 12, it’s easy to ask:
“Why does the Bible record so many names?”
But from another perspective, this is actually a record of God’s grace.
Each king represents a battle.
Each name represents a chapter in the history of the Israelites.
Every victory tells the Israelites:
“Don’t forget, it was God who led you to where you are today.”
This is also very important for us today.
It’s easy for us to remember:
- Something he hadn’t yet gotten
- The difficulties I am facing
- Prayers have yet to be answered
- Things others do better than themselves
But it’s easy to forget:
God has already done so much for us.
Therefore, Christians need to learn to ‘count grace.’
Not because we deny the current difficulties, but because we know:
Today’s God is still the faithful God of the past.
4. The thirty-one kings also remind us not to fear the ‘great mountains’ before us
The Israelites did not eliminate all their enemies at once.
They fought one battle after another.
This is much like our faith life.
Sometimes we wonder:
“God, why hasn’t my problem been completely resolved yet?”
“Why does one difficulty pass and another arises?”
Joshua chapter 12 shows us that God led the Israelites step by step.
God did not require them to accomplish everything in one day.
Similarly, God’s work in our lives may also proceed step by step.
So we should not assume that God is not working just because we still face difficulties today.
God may be leading us through another battle.
5. The glory of victory is given to God
Joshua chapter 12 is not praising Joshua’s greatness, nor is it praising how strong the Israelites are.
The real focus is:
God keeps His promises.
Joshua had courage because God was with him.
The Israelites were able to possess the land because God gave it to them.
So we must also be careful not to turn God’s grace into our pride.
When we look back at our own lives, we can say:
“I worked very hard.”
But more importantly, it says:
“Thank God, You have always led me.”
Joshua chapter 12 gives us three reminders
(1) Do not forget God’s past grace
When you encounter difficulties today, reflect on how God has helped you in the past.
(2) Do not lose confidence just because you have many enemies
Thirty-one kings were a lot for the Israelites, but not one was too great for God.
(3) Do not take credits for yourself God’s work
After achieving victory, one must be all the more humble and give thanks to God, for all grace comes from Him.
Prayer
Joshua chapter 12 prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You because Joshua chapter 12 reminds us that You are a faithful God.
Lord, when we look back at our lives, we realize there are many difficulties. We once thought we couldn’t get through it, but You have always held our hands, guiding us step by step.
Forgive us. Many times, we only see the difficulties before us and forget Your past grace; We only see what we have not yet received, yet forget what You have already given us.
Lord, please help us learn to count grace.
When we face the ‘Thirty-One Kings’ in life—facing one difficulty after another, one pressure after another—please do not let us lose heart, nor let us be controlled by fear.
Remind us that true victory is not by our own strength, but because You are with us.
Lord, if we are now facing some unresolved issues, please grant us patience and faith, so that we may believe that You are still at work.
Please help us not only look at our surroundings, but fix our eyes on You.
And ask that we not be proud in times of victory, nor disappointed in times of difficulty; Know that You are still our God, in good times and bad.
Please calm our restless and chaotic hearts.
Let us entrust the burdens of our hearts to You, and place the things we cannot control into Your hands.
Ask the Holy Spirit to comfort and strengthen us, so that we may have the strength to continue following You every day.
Lord, let us always remember:
Just as You have led us in the past, You remain faithful today;
Just as You protected us in the past, You will never leave us in the future.
May our lives be not just about remembering our own battles, but also remembering Your grace.
I pray in the victorious name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Amen.
