GENESIS 21
创世纪21
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
当亚伯拉罕年老的时候，撒拉怀了孕，到 神所说的日期，就给亚伯拉罕生了一个儿子。
GOD'S PERFECT TIMING
神的完美时间表
What a wonderful God we have... Amen
我们拥有多么奇妙的神...阿们
Abraham was already over 100 and Sarah was outside normal child bearing age, but the promise made by God finally came true.
亚伯拉罕已经100多岁了，萨拉已经过了生育孩子的年龄，但神的应许最终变成了事实。
There were many times Abraham thought that this wouldn't happen and indeed Sarah laughed at God, but at the time set by God, the baby arrived.
许多次亚伯拉罕认为这事不会发生萨拉也的确在笑话神，但在神所设定的时间，孩子到来了。
God is the perfect timekeeper; everything happens to his timetable... not ours. Remember the God had said to Abraham, that he would have a son in his old age, but he didn't tell him how old he would be.
神是完美的时间守候者，每件事的发生都按他的时间表...而不是我们的。记得神已经对亚伯拉罕说，他将在老迈时有个儿子，但并没有告诉他多大年纪会有。
Many of you are waiting on God to bring some promise to come to pass in your lives, remember God is always faithful and always delivers on his promises, despite our unbelief. He abideth faithful; he cannot deny himself...Amen
你们中许多人在等候神把一些应许带进你们生命中，记得神总是信实的，总是会履行承诺，不管我们信与不信。他使信任长存；他从不放弃...阿们
May you rest and trust on the faithful promises of God.
愿你在神信实的应许中获得安息和信心。
God Bless You,
愿神祝福你

Genesis 45:7 and 50:20
创世纪45:7和50:20
Seeing God’s Plan – Looking Beyond the Immediate
看一下上帝的计划 ---超越眼前
Genesis 45:7 – And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
创世纪45:7 ---神差我在你们以先来，为要给你们存留余种在地上，又要大施拯救，保全你们的生命。
Genesis 50:20 – But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for god, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.
创世纪50:20 ---从前你们的意思是要害我，但神的意思原是好的，要保全许多人的性命，成就今日的光景。
Joseph, the son of Jacob, speaks in the above verses to his brothers. They first wanted to kill him, but decided to sell him. They were jealous of him because he had 2 dreams where his family bowed to him and angry with their father because Joseph was his favourite, Genesis 37:12-30. Joseph ended up in Egypt, hundreds of miles from home, Genesis 37:36 at 17 years old, Genesis 37:2. Joseph was sold to Potiphar, the captain of the guard, Genesis 39:1. Joseph was made overseer of his entire house. He was faithful but Potiphar’s wife lusted after him and demanded he sleep with her, but he refused. She accused him of rape and Joseph was put in jail, Genesis 39. No matter where he was though, “the LORD was with Joseph,” Genesis 39:2, 3, 5, 21, 23.
约瑟， 雅各的儿子，在上面的经文中对他的弟兄们说。他们一开始想杀了他，但后来决定把他卖了。他们嫉妒他，因为约瑟做了两次梦，梦见自己的家人向他下拜，又因为约瑟是父亲的最爱而向他们的父亲生气，创世纪37:12-30。约瑟到了埃及，离家有几百英里，创世纪37:36，他十七岁的时候，创世纪37:2。约瑟被卖给了护卫长波提乏，创世纪39:1。约瑟被派来管理约瑟的全家。他是忠实的，但波提乏的妻子贪恋他，要求他和她睡觉，但他拒绝了。她指控约瑟强奸，约瑟被关进监狱，创世纪39。无论他在哪里，“耶和华与约瑟同在”，创世纪39:2,3,5,21,23。
While in jail, Joseph was given the responsibility to oversee all that occurred there and by God’s leading he interpreted dreams of 2 servants of Pharaoh correctly and asked one to remember him, Genesis 40. 2 years later, Pharaoh had 2 dreams and Joseph was called to interpret them, which he did. He was placed as 2nd in command of the most powerful nation on earth, Genesis 41. An abundance of crops was in the land of Egypt for 7 years, then 7 years of great famine hit, as Joseph said. Nearly 2 years into the famine, Genesis 45:6, Joseph’s father sent 10 of his brothers to Egypt to buy food. They did not recognize him and through a series of events the brothers returned and Joseph told them who he was. During this time, they thought they were suffering because of what they did to their brother over 20 years ago, Genesis 42:21, 44:16, 50:15-18. But Joseph assured them God was at work.
在狱中，约瑟被委以重任，监督那里发生的一切。在神的带领下，他准确地解了法老两个仆人的梦，并让其中一个记住他，创世纪第40章。两年后，法老做了两个梦，约瑟被召去为他解梦。在创世纪第41章中，他在世界上最强大的国家中 权位排第二。埃及地有七个丰年，然后是七个荒年，正如约瑟所说的。饥荒发生快两年了，创世记第45章6节，约瑟的父亲打发10个兄弟到埃及去买食物。他们没有认出他来。经过了一系列的事件，约瑟的哥哥们回来了，约瑟告诉了他们他是谁。在这段时间里，他们认为他们在受苦，是源于他们在20年前对自己的兄弟约瑟所做的（恶），创世纪42:21,44:16,50:15-18。但约瑟向他们保证（这一切都是）神在作工。
Joseph’s family was dysfunctional, he was hated and sold by his brothers, accused of a crime he didn’t commit, put in jail for over 2 years yet faithful to God. We read nothing of bitterness. I’m sure he cried, was hurt, confused and maybe got angry, but we are not told. We are told Joseph had a perspective many of us, including myself, lack the majority of the time. We don’t see beyond the immediate to God’s plan beyond our circumstances or ourselves. God gave Joseph 2 dreams as a promise He would place him in a position of authority. Joseph held on to that. He trusted God during, and looked beyond the immediate situations in his life to God’s plan. Will we be faithful during those tough times? God was working on Joseph’s character and preparing him through pain to exalt him one day. This didn’t lesson the pain of loss or question of “why,” but it gave him hope to persevere no matter what happened.
约瑟的家庭不正常，他被他的兄弟们憎恨并卖掉，被指控犯了一项他没有犯的罪，被关在监狱里两年多，但他对神是有信心的。我们没有读到任何痛苦。但我确信他哭过，受伤过，困惑过，也许还生气过，但我们没有被告知。我们被告知，约瑟有自己的主见，我们很多人，包括我自己，大多数时候都缺乏这样的主见。我们看不到上帝的直接计划，看不到我们的环境或我们自己。神给约瑟两个梦，应许他要把他放在一个有权柄的位置上。约瑟抓住了这个应许。在这期间，他信靠神，并且超越眼前 去看神的计划。在这些艰难的时刻，我们还会忠诚吗?神在约瑟的品格上做工，用痛苦预备他，有一天要提拔他。这并没有让他体会到失去的痛苦或“为什么”的问题，但却给了他无论发生什么都能坚持下去的希望。
By God’s grace, Joseph didn’t hold on to what his brothers did, but forgave them and told them that God was involved in everything. They were accountable for their actions, but Joseph chose by faith to see God’s plan and look beyond the immediate. You may say, “He hasn’t given me 2 dreams.” God gave Joseph His word, and He has given that word to us too. Do we focus on our immediate circumstances or failures? Do we blame our past or others for the problems in our life? Will we look beyond ourselves and beyond the immediate to God’s plan, by faith like Joseph?
在神的恩典下，约瑟没有计较哥哥们对自己所做的恶，而是原谅了他们，并告诉他们，神与每一件事都有关系。他们要对自己的行为负责，但是约瑟凭着信心选择去看神的计划，看得更远。你可能会说:“他没有给我两个梦。”神赐给约瑟他的应许，也赐给我们。我们关注的是眼前的环境还是失败?我们会因为生活中的问题而责备我们的过去或别人吗?我们会像约瑟一样，藉着信心，去看到神 超越我们自己，超越眼前的计划吗?
