以赛亚书［第二十八章］|Book of Isaiah 28【倚靠自己，必遭管教】
25/05/2022
引言：
神任凭祂的子民暴露自己的罪性，并以最奇妙的方式管教他们，使他们看见当他们倚靠自己时所带来的祸患。
一、北国的高傲（V1-6）
神百姓的败坏（尤其是北国），是因为高傲。然而，凡是让人高傲自夸的「冠冕」，都会被风暴「摔落于地」；凡是让信神子民沾沾自喜的「初熟的无花果」，也都会被路人「吞吃」。因神要用真正的「荣冠华冕」取代酒徒的冠冕，并用祂的荣耀取代人的「肥美」和「荣美」。
二、南国的亵慢（V7-22）
1.幼稚无知的领袖（V7-10）
偏离神的祭司和先知自命成熟，把以赛亚所呼吁的安息看作幼稚的育儿知识，还把先知的话当作粗浅的唠叨。
2.自食其果的南国（V11-13）
因着他们拒绝简单明白的教导，所以神就借异邦人的嘴唇和外邦人的舌头对他们说话，并用国破家亡和被掳异乡来教会他们聆听。
3.不与耶和华结盟（V14-22）
以色列人曾与外邦结盟，倚靠死亡的约，以为可以逃脱灾难。但神却让他们知道，唯有祂才是真正的避难所，是宝贵的房角石，是稳固、可以倚靠的。
三、神管教奇妙（V23-29）
1.撒种的比喻(V24-26)
农夫对每一个种子妥善的处理，并且放在最适合生长的环境中。其实，这比喻也带出神把人放在适合他们的不同环境里，让人可以成长。
2.收获的比喻(V27-29)
在收获农作物的时期，农夫会用不同的工具来收成不同谷物。收获农作物的做法其实也启示了神的管教原则，带出耶路撒冷将会像撒玛利亚一样被耕耘、磨碎，并神所允许的车轮和马匹会践踏其上。
总结：
勿让我们的属灵光景陷入到心里高傲并成为亵慢人。否则，神必会使用各种量过的难处来管教我们，使我们再次转去投靠祂。
Isaiah 28: If You Rely on Yourself, You Will be Disciplined
GK611 Morning Devotion
25/05/2022
Speaker: IP Stella Ling
Introduction:
God allows His people to expose their sinfulness, and disciplines them in the most wonderful way, so that they may see the evil that comes when they rely on themselves.
1. The pride of the Northern Kingdom (v1-6)
The corruption of God's people (especially in the northern kingdom) is due to pride. However, all the "crowns" that make people proud and boastful will be "thrown to the ground" by the storm, and all the "first ripe figs" that make the people of God complacent will be "devoured" by the passers-by. For God will replace the crowns of the drunkards with true "crowns of glory and splendor" and replace the "fatness" and "glory" of men with His glory.
2. The scorn of Southern Kingdom (v7-22)
(1) Childish and ignorant leaders (v7-10)
The priests and prophets who deviated from God pretended to be mature, and regarded the rest called for by Isaiah as childish knowledge of child-rearing, and the words of the prophets as shallow nagging.
(2) Southern Kingdom which suffered the consequences (v11-13)
Because they rejected simple and clear teaching, God spoke to them through the lips of the heathen and the tongues of the Gentiles, and taught them to listen by the destruction of nations and the captivity of foreign lands.
(3) Not aligned with Jehovah (v14-22)
The Israelites had allied themselves with the foreign nations, and relied on the covenant of death, thinking they could escape the disaster. But God showed them that He alone is the true refuge, the precious cornerstone, and the one who is firm and can be relied upon.
3. God disciplines wonderfully (v23-29)
(1) The parable of the sower (v24-26)
The farmer treats each seed properly and places it in the most suitable environment for growth. In fact, this parable also brings out that God puts people in different environments that are suitable for them so that they can grow.
(2) The Parable of the harvest (v27-29)
At the time of harvesting the crops, the farmer would use different tools to harvest the different grains. The practice of harvesting crops actually reveals the principle of God's discipline, bringing out that Jerusalem will be plowed and ground up like Samaria, and that the wheels and horses allowed by God will trample on it.
Conclusion：
Do not let our spiritual light fall into arrogance of heart and become a blasphemer. Otherwise, God will use all kinds of measured difficulties to discipline us, so that we will turn to Him again.
