出埃及记［第39章］
[以‘心’事奉神]

心，决定了一个人的思想、言行和方向，也决定了我们如何服事神。正如箴言4:23所言：“你要保守你心，胜过保守一切，因为一生的果效是由心发出。”无论是在生活中，还是在教会的事奉里，“心” 是至关重要的。
在出埃及记39章，以色列百姓按照神的吩咐制作圣衣和会幕中的一切器具，其中最关键的不是技术或材料，而是他们的心。他们是如何完成神的托付，以致摩西对他们所完成的感到满意，并且祝福他们？
同样，在今天的事奉中，我们也需要思考：我们是以什么来服事神的呢？ 我们的事奉又是否蒙神悦纳，带下祝福？
39章至少重复9次提到以色列百姓在建造会幕和圣所里的一切器具、祭司的圣衣和以弗得都是不偏不倚的‘照耶和华所吩咐摩西的’来制作。
从小在埃及皇宫长大的摩西，知道埃及所制作的朝服、首饰、装饰品都是精美绝伦的巧工。然而，他没有添加自己的意见，也没有根据个人经验或埃及的手工标准进行调整。而是严格遵循神的吩咐，忠心的将神的指示丝毫无误传达给百姓。
摩西的忠心提醒我们，无论在家庭、职场或社区，我们都有责任将神的吩咐、真理、属神价值观，忠心传达给身边的人。忠心传达神的话，必蒙神祝福。
大祭司胸牌镶嵌12块宝石，象征以色列12支派，表明祭司要背负百姓、为他们代求。耶稣已担当我们的罪，并为我们代求。如今，我们作为“君尊的祭司”，也要尽心承担福音使命，使人与神和好。在教会和生活中更要成为和平的使者，促使人与人和睦。
1.同心配搭不分歧
完成一件完整的祭司袍，除了外袍、内袍，还有佩戴的冠冕、华美的裹头巾、腰带等，每样物品都有它必要的意义。外袍的底边一个铃铛一个石榴的交错排列，也让我们看到做神的工，互相配搭的重要性。
在团队的服事中，每个人都有自己当负责的部分。同时也不分歧的彼此同心的配搭。目的只有一个，就是让神得荣耀。
2.同心配搭建生命
祭司服饰象征生命的建造，如细麻布内袍代表洁净与谦卑，铃铛提醒儆醒，石榴象征属灵果子。在团队配搭的服事中，是生命被建造的美好契机。因此，彼此的磨合，使内在的生命结出许多属灵的果子。
工作完成后，摩西没有挑剔或归功自己，而是祝福百姓。
今天，我们在教会或事奉中，常常容易关注目标是否达成，却忽略了团队成员的努力和成长。真正的属灵领袖不仅关注任务完成，看到团队成员的付出，不吝给予肯定，并用祝福的话语建立他们，使他们在服事中更加有信心、有动力。真正的领导，不只是带领团队完成任务，更是以爱牧养团队，
●毫不妥协地忠心传达神的话语。
●尽心竭力完成神的托付
●扶持别人，同心配搭，彼此成全
●活出属神的影响力，成为祝福他人的器皿。
Exodus 39
Serving God with the Heart
03/04/2025
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Deborah
The heart determines a person’s thoughts, words, actions, and direction. It also determines how we serve God. As Proverbs 4:23 states: “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” Whether in our daily lives or in church ministry, the heart is of utmost importance.
In Exodus 39, the Israelites followed God’s instructions in making the priestly garments and all the furnishings of the tabernacle. The most critical aspect was not their skills or materials but their hearts. How did they fulfill God’s commission in a way that satisfied Moses and led to his blessing upon them?
Similarly, in our service today, we must ask: What do we rely on when serving God? Is our service pleasing to Him and bringing forth blessings?
In Exodus 39, the phrase “as the Lord had commanded Moses” is repeated at least nine times regarding the construction of the tabernacle, the sacred garments of the priests, and the ephod.
Moses, who grew up in Pharaoh’s palace, was familiar with Egypt’s exquisite craftsmanship in royal attire, jewelry, and ornaments. However, he did not insert his personal opinions or adjust God’s instructions based on his experiences or Egypt’s standards. Instead, he strictly followed God’s commands and faithfully conveyed them to the people without deviation.
Moses’ faithfulness reminds us that in our families, workplaces, and communities, we are responsible for faithfully conveying God’s commands, truth, and values to those around us. Faithfully sharing God’s word brings His blessings.
The high priest’s breastplate was adorned with twelve stones, symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel, signifying the priest’s responsibility to bear the people and intercede for them. Jesus has already borne our sins and intercedes for us. Today, as a “royal priesthood,” we must also wholeheartedly undertake the mission of the gospel, reconciling people with God. In both church and daily life, we are called to be peacemakers, promoting harmony among people.
a. Unity Without Division
The priestly robe was a complete set, including the outer robe, inner tunic, turban, and sash. Each item held significant meaning. The alternating bells and pomegranates on the hem of the robe illustrate the importance of mutual support in God’s work.
In team ministry, each person has their own responsibilities. At the same time, unity is essential, with everyone working together with one purpose—to glorify God.
b. Unity in Spiritual Growth
The priestly garments symbolize spiritual growth: the fine linen tunic represents purity and humility, the bells signify vigilance, and the pomegranates represent spiritual fruit. Serving together as a team provides opportunities for spiritual growth. Through collaboration, our inner lives are refined, producing much spiritual fruit.
After the work was completed, Moses did not criticize or take credit for himself; instead, he blessed the people.
In church and ministry, we often focus on whether goals are achieved while neglecting the efforts and growth of team members. A true spiritual leader not only ensures the completion of tasks but also acknowledges the contributions of the team, offering words of affirmation and blessings. This strengthens their confidence and motivation in serving God. True leadership is not merely about accomplishing tasks but about shepherding the team with love.
•Faithfully convey God’s word without compromise.
•Wholeheartedly fulfill God’s commission.
•Support one another in unity, building each other up.
•Live out a godly influence and become a vessel of blessing to others.
