以賽亞書54:2 [要擴張你帳幕之地, 張大你居所的幔子, 不要限制；要放長你的繩子, 堅固你的橛子.］本節描述被擄歸回以色列人如何擴張帳幕. 橛子是釘在地上的小木椿, 繩子則將帳幕扣緊在橛子上. 要擴大游牧帳幕只需要添加外層的獸皮, 放長繩子和釘下更堅固的橛子便成. 遊牧帳棚有移動性, 簡約性, 擴張性, 及堅固性. 此段經文提醒聖徒在世上生活也需不斷擴張, 力求方便並保持堅固. 並能開闊人生的界限. 不僅是看見問題, 並有解決問題的信心. 這種心態不以現況為滿足. 動手動腳嘗試解決問題. 帳棚經驗提醒我們的人生要化繁為簡, 我們要做最重要, 最必須的事, 才會獲得真正的満足. 把焦點放在上帝要我們専注的事項上. 帳棚人生是減法人生, 隨時準備起行, 所以一切從簡. 但從簡不是隨便, 而是追求更精煉, 以致不枉此生. 聖經中也有一位不満足於現狀的人物, 雅比斯. 歷代志上4:10”雅比斯求告以色列的神説：甚願你賜福與我, 擴張我的境界, 常與我同在, 保佑我不遭患難, 不受艱苦. 神就應允他所求的.” 人性的傾向常是避重就輕, 多一事不如少一事. 只要自己的需要獲得満足即可. 雅比斯的禱告, 他沒有求自己吃飽喝足, 他求的是上帝開拓他生命的界線, 給他更寛濶的眼光, 使他能影響更多的人, 雅比斯希望可以運用自己的影響力, 得到更多的機會來為上帝做大事. 上帝喜歡我們有雄心壯志, 上帝要我們寛濶我們的境界. 不要留在原地, 起來改變吧！成為一位更有影響力的人.
0080—Isaiah 54:2 [Spread out the land of your tabernacle, stretch out the veil of your dwelling, and do not restrict it; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pegs.] This verse describes how the Israelites who returned from captivity expanded their tents. The pegs are small wooden pegs that are nailed to the ground, and the ropes fasten the tent to the pegs. To expand the nomadic tent, you only need to add an outer layer of animal skins, put a long rope and nail down stronger pegs. Nomadic tents are mobile , simplicity, expansion, and solidity. This verse reminds the saints that living in the world also needs to be constantly expanding, striving for convenience and maintaining stability. And it can broaden the boundaries of life. Not only see the problem, but have the confidence to solve it. This kind of Mindset is not content with the status quo. Trying to solve problems with hands and feet. The tent experience reminds us that life needs to be simplified, and we will do what is most important and necessary to achieve true satisfaction. Focus on God On the matters that we need to pay attention to. The tent life is a subtractive life, ready to go at any time, so everything is simplified. But simplicity is not casual, but the pursuit of more refinement, so that this life is not in vain. There is also a person in the Bible who is not satisfied with the status quo. , Jabez. 1 Chronicles 4:10 “Jabez called to the God of Israel and said: May you bless me and enlarge my borders, and be with me always, and keep me from trouble and trouble. God will answer what he asks.” The human tendency is to avoid the most important things, and the less things are better than the less things. As long as one’s own needs are satisfied. Jabez’s prayer, he did not ask himself to eat and drink, he asked God To expand the boundaries of his life, to give him a broader vision, so that he can influence more people, Jabez hopes to use his influence and get more opportunities to do great things for God. God likes us to be ambitious Ambition, God wants us to stretch our boundaries. Don’t stay where you are, get up and change! become a more influential person.
