順服神，不要硬著心
出埃及記第8章記載了神藉著摩西降下青蛙、虱子（或蚊蟲）和蒼蠅之災。每一次災難都顯明神的大能，也讓法老有機會悔改。然而，法老雖然一度承認自己的困境，甚至請求摩西代禱，但當災禍停止後，他的心又剛硬起來，不願順服神。
這章經文提醒我們一個重要的屬靈功課：不要只在困難中尋求神，而要在平安時也持續順服神。
很多時候，人在患難中會迫切禱告，求神幫助；但當問題解決後，卻容易忘記神的恩典。法老正是如此。他看見神蹟，經歷神的作為，卻沒有真正悔改，只想除去眼前的麻煩。
神今天也在我們生命中工作。有時藉著祝福吸引我們，有時藉著環境提醒我們。祂所要的，不只是我們口頭上的承認，而是一顆願意順服、願意改變的心。
願我們不像法老一樣硬著心，而是當聽見主的聲音時，立刻回應，讓神在我們生命中掌權。
「你們今日若聽祂的話，就不可硬著心。」（希伯來書 3:15）
我們禱告
親愛的天父，
感謝祢藉著出埃及記第8章向我們說話。祢是掌管天地萬有的主，沒有任何權勢能與祢相比。祢不但有能力施行審判，更滿有憐憫，願意給人悔改的機會。
主啊，求祢光照我們的心，使我們看見自己是否也像法老一樣，只在遇見困難時才尋求祢，而在平順的日子裡卻漸漸遠離祢。求祢赦免我們的軟弱和冷淡。
求聖靈幫助我們有柔軟受教的心，當祢藉著聖經、禱告或環境向我們說話時，讓我們願意順服，而不是抗拒。使我們不單尋求祢的祝福，更渴慕祢自己；不單希望問題得解決，更願意生命被祢改變。
也求祢保守眾弟兄姊妹，在各樣挑戰和試煉中仍然堅定信靠祢。讓我們常常記念祢的恩典，在順境與逆境中都忠心跟隨主。
願我們的生命榮耀祢的名，見證祢的信實和慈愛。
奉主耶穌基督得勝的名禱告，阿們。

Obey God, do not harden your heart
Exodus chapter 8 records that God sent down frogs, lice (or mosquitoes), and flies through Moses. Each disaster revealed God’s great power and gave Pharaoh a chance to repent. However, although Pharaoh once admitted his predicament and even asked Moses to intercede, when the disaster stopped, his heart hardened again and he refused to obey God.
This chapter reminds us of an important spiritual lesson: do not seek God only in times of difficulty, but continue to obey Him even in times of peace.
Many times, people pray urgently in times of hardship, asking God for help; But once the problem is resolved, it’s easy to forget God’s grace. Pharaoh was exactly like that. He saw miracles and experienced God’s works, but did not truly repent, only wanting to remove the troubles before him.
God is also working in our lives today. Sometimes they attract us with blessings, sometimes they remind us through their environment. What He wants is not just verbal acknowledgment, but a heart willing to obey and change.
May we not harden our hearts like Pharaoh, but respond immediately when we hear the Lord’s voice, allowing God to reign in our lives.
“If you listen to Him today, do not harden your hearts.” (Hebrews 3:15)
We pray
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for speaking to us through Exodus chapter 8. You are the Lord who rules over all things under heaven and earth; no power can compare to You. You not only have the power to carry out judgment, but you are also full of mercy and willing to give people opportunities to repent.
Lord, please shine Your light on our hearts, so that we may see whether we are like Pharaoh, seeking You only when facing difficulties, and gradually drifting away from You in peaceful days. Please forgive our weakness and indifference.
Ask the Holy Spirit to help us to have a soft, receptive heart, so that when You speak to us through the Bible, prayer, or circumstances, we may be willing to obey, not resist. It enables us not only to seek Your blessings but also to long for You Himself; Not only do I hope the problems will be solved, but I also wish for my life to be changed by You.
Also, please keep all brothers and sisters steadfast in trusting You through all challenges and trials. Let us always remember Your grace and faithfully follow the Lord through both good times and bad.
May our lives glorify Your name and bear witness to Your faithfulness and lovingkindness.
In the victorious name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.
