MEDITATION

Genesis 15:9-11

9 So He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
10 Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two.
11 And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

MEANINGFUL APPLICATION TO LIFE

1. Abram’s worship of God

a. Abram had set up altars to worship God in the past (Genesis 12:8; 13:4, 18).
b. He had a further experience when Melchizedek, who was both king and priest met him after his victory over king Chedorlaomer (Genesis 14).

2. Worship that God prescribed

a. Abram would now have another experience of worship.
b. God instructed Abram to bring the following sacrifices:
i. A three-year old heifer
ii. A three-year old goat
iii. A three-year old ram
iv. A turtle dove
v. A young pigeon

3. Abram complied fully

a. He brought all that God had commanded.
b. The larger animals were cut in two.
c. The birds however were not cut in two because they were too small.

4. The vultures came

But Abram was alert and he would not allow them to eat the sacrifices that were offered!

经文：创世记 15:9-11

沉思

《创世记 15：9-11》
9 他说：“你为我取一只三年的母牛，一只三年的母山羊，一只三年的公绵羊，一只斑鸠，一只雏鸽。”
10 亚伯兰就取了这些来，每样劈开分成两半，一半对着一半地摆列，只有鸟没有劈开。

11 有鸷鸟下来落在那死畜的肉上，亚伯兰就把它吓飞了。

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 亚伯兰敬拜上帝

a. 亚伯兰曾经筑坛敬拜上帝《创世记 12：8; 13：4, 18》
b. 亚伯兰战胜了基大老玛王后，与上帝的祭司麦基洗德王会面并有了进一步的体验《创世记 14》

2. 上帝规定的敬拜

a. 亚伯兰现在有了另一种敬拜的经历
b. 上帝指示亚伯兰带来以下的祭物：
i. 一只三年的母牛
ii. 一只三年的母山羊
iii. 一只三年的公绵羊
iv. 一只斑鸠
v. 一只雏鸽

3. 亚伯兰完全遵照上帝的指示

a. 他取了上帝所命令的一切祭物
b. 他将较大的动物劈开分成两半
c. 只有鸟没有被劈开，因为它们体积太小了

4. 鸷鸟来了

但是亚伯兰很机警，他不会允许鸷鸟吃掉所献上的祭物！
