承先啟後，繼往開來 Rise Up and Move Forward 約書亞記 Joshua 1:1-9

耶和華的僕人摩西死了以後，耶和華曉諭摩西的幫手，嫩的兒子 約書亞，說：2我的僕人摩西死了。現在你要起來，和眾百姓過這 約但河，往我所要賜給以色列人的地去。3凡你們腳掌所踏之地， 我都照著我所應許摩西的話賜給你們了。4從曠野和這利巴嫩，直 到伯拉大河，赫人的全地，又到大海日落之處，都要作你們的境 界。 5 你平生的日子，必無一人能在你面前站立得住。我怎樣與摩 西同在，也必照樣與你同在；我必不撇下你，也不丟棄你。 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.  

6你當剛強壯膽！因為你必使這百姓承受那地為業，就是我向他們列祖起誓應許賜給他們的地。7只要剛強，大大壯膽，謹守遵行我僕人摩西所吩咐你的一切律法，不可偏離左右，使你無論往那裡去，都可以順利。8這律法書不可離開你的口，總要晝夜思想，好使你謹守遵行這書上所寫的一切話。如此，你的道路就可以亨通，凡事順利。9我豈沒有吩咐你麼？你當剛強壯膽！不要懼怕，也不要驚惶；因為你無論往那裡去，耶和華─你的神必與你同在。 6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. 7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

憑信心承受應許 Persevering In Faith 持守神的應許 Keep God’s Word 神是信實的 God Is Faithful 耶和華按著先前的話眷顧撒拉，便照他所說的給撒拉成就。 Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. (創 Gen 21:1) 憑信心承受應許 Persevering In Faith 我們願你們各人都顯出這樣的殷勤，使你們有滿足的指望，一直到底。並且不懈怠。總要效法那些憑信心和忍耐承受應許的人。 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. (來 Heb 6:11-12)

7只要剛強，大大壯膽，謹守遵行我僕人摩西所吩咐你的一切律法，不可偏離左右，使你無論往那裡去，都可以順利。8這律法書不可離開你的口，總要晝夜思想，好使你謹守遵行這書上所寫的一切話。如此，你的道路就可以亨通，凡事順利。 7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 

謹守遵行主的話語 Obey GOD’s Word 喜愛神的話 Loving God’s Word 惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福！His delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. (詩 Psa 1:2)  主的話是我喜樂的泉源 Rejoicing In God’s Word 我以你的法度為永遠的產業，因這是我心中所喜愛的。 Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart. (詩 Psa 119:111)

9我豈沒有吩咐你麼？你當剛強壯膽！不要懼怕，也不要驚惶；因為你無論往那裡去，耶和華─你的神必與你同在。  9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

讓主來掌權 Let God Take Control 凡事謙卑順服於主 Fully submit to Christ 我心裡柔和謙卑，你們當負我的軛，學我的樣式；這樣，你們心裡就必得享安息。Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (太 Matt 11:29) 凡事依靠基督 I can do all things through Christ 我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做。I can do all this through him who gives me strength. (腓 Phil 4:13)
