中秋快樂！我爱你～

N讀經：

「Isaac’s servants also dug in the Gerar Valley and discovered a well of fresh water. But then the shepherds from Gerar came and claimed the spring. “This is our water,” they said, and they argued over it with Isaac’s herdsmen. So Isaac named the well Esek (which means “argument”). Isaac’s men then dug another well, but again there was a dispute over it. So Isaac named it Sitnah (which means “hostility”). Abandoning that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well. This time there was no dispute over it, so Isaac named the place Rehoboth (which means “open space”), for he said, “At last the LORD has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.” From there Isaac moved to Beersheba, where the LORD appeared to him on the night of his arrival. “I am the God of your father, Abraham,” he said. “Do not be afraid, for I am with you and will bless you. I will multiply your descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will do this because of my promise to Abraham, my servant.” Then Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the LORD. He set up his camp at that place, and his servants dug another well.」

Genesis 26:19-25

Isaac挖井的故事這一次看就很有感動。所有的白搭其實在上帝的計畫裡都有它的意義。甚至我在想如果不是為著當地人挖那幾口井，Isaac一族可能都沒有辦法在那裡安居。Isaac其實是相信上帝的，他就是被奪去就不急不忙再挖一個，最後紛爭沒有了，他們得到了別人地盤上的一口井。在上帝看來，我們在成功之前所應該付出的努力大於我們的想像。而對於我們來說，就是跟著祂的帶領走就好，感恩每一件事的發生，把抱怨的力氣轉化成動能。往往，我們的抱怨都來自於對於全局的不了解，以及生命死死捏在自己手裡，憤世嫉俗。
