W5 2013-12-13以賽亞書30
30:18 耶和華必然等候，要施恩給你們；必然興起，好憐憫你們。因為耶和華是公平的 神；凡等候他的都是有福的！
30:19 百姓必在錫安、在耶路撒冷居住；你不再哭泣。主必因你哀求的聲音施恩給你；他聽見的時候就必應允你。
30:20 主雖然以艱難給你當餅，以困苦給你當水，你的教師卻不再隱藏；你眼必看見你的教師。
30:21 你或向左或向右，你必聽見後邊有聲音說：「這是正路，要行在其間。」
30:22 你雕刻偶像所包的銀子和鑄造偶像所鍍的金子，你要玷污，要拋棄，好像污穢之物，對偶像說：「去吧！」
30:23 你將種子撒在地裡，主必降雨在其上，並使地所出的糧肥美豐盛。到那時，你的牲畜必在寬闊的草場吃草。
30:24 耕地的牛和驢駒必吃加鹽的料；這料是用木杴和杈子揚淨的。
30:25 在大行殺戮的日子，高臺倒塌的時候，各高山岡陵必有川流河湧。
30:26 當耶和華纏裹他百姓的損處，醫治他民鞭傷的日子，月光必像日光，日光必加七倍，像七日的光一樣。
默想：
這裡如同法庭的宣告，上帝一開始對以色列人提出了種種的指控，斥責以色列人如何偏離正路，遠離上帝(1-17)。然後，宣判上帝對以色列人的審判(18-26)，根據前面種種的指控，以色列人實在要面臨嚴厲的審判，但是，上帝卻出人意外的宣告饒恕。「耶和華必然等候，要施恩給你們，必然興起，好憐憫你們」，因為上帝對耶路撒冷，雖有怒氣，但是，在實行懲罰後，上帝必然再次憐憫他們，而不會將他們完全棄之不顧。
主要給他們以艱難當餅、以困苦給他們當水，他會懲罰祂的百姓，像對學生一樣。但是，上帝卻不對他們隱藏，上帝要讓他們眼得以看見，耳得以聽見，不論他們往那裡行，上帝都與他們同在保謢。因為上來的同在保護，所以他們不再需要其他的「教師」，就是那些偶像，人們要丟棄它們，不再倚靠他們。
我們的生命也是如此，我們需要在犯錯中被管教，也需要在管教後重新被接納，更需要在被接納後，學習順服與依靠，求神幫助我們，不是在犯錯後，逃避上帝，乃是依靠上帝的救恩，悔改歸向祂。
題目: 以賽亞30:20說，主雖以艱難給你當餅，以困苦給你當水，你的教師卻不再隱藏，你眼必看見你的教師。請問你是否有在艱難困苦中學到寶貴屬靈功課的經驗呢？
30:1 耶和華說：禍哉！這悖逆的兒女。他們同謀，卻不由於我，結盟，卻不由於我的靈，以致罪上加罪；
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
30:2 起身下埃及去，並沒有求問我；要靠法老的力量加添自己的力量，並投在埃及的蔭下。
That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
30:3 所以，法老的力量必作你們的羞辱；投在埃及的蔭下，要為你們的慚愧。
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
30:4 他們的首領已在瑣安；他們的使臣到了哈內斯。
For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
30:5 他們必因那不利於他們的民蒙羞。那民並非幫助，也非利益，只作羞恥凌辱。
They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
30:6 論南方牲畜的默示：他們把財物馱在驢駒的脊背上，將寶物馱在駱駝的肉鞍上，經過艱難困苦之地，就是公獅、母獅、蝮蛇、火焰的飛龍之地，往那不利於他們的民那裡去。

30:13 故此，這罪孽在你們身上，好像將要破裂凸出來的高牆，頃刻之間忽然坍塌；

30:14 要被打碎，好像把窯匠的瓦器打碎，毫不顧惜，甚至碎塊中找不到一片可用以從爐內取火，從池中舀水。

30:16 你們卻說：不然，我們要騎馬奔走。所以你們必然奔走；又說：我們要騎飛快的牲口。所以追趕你們的，也必飛快。
