Dear brothers and sisters, peace be with you. Today, our reading takes us to Deuteronomy chapter 9, verses 13 to 29.

Yesterday's scripture reminded us not to be proud as God guided the Israelites in conquering the nations in Canaan. Today, He continues to help us in our lives. Here, Moses mentions a significant mistake the Israelites made in the wilderness. During the forty days when Moses was meeting with God on Mount Sinai, the Israelites deviated from the right path and created a golden calf, worshiping it as a god. They began to fall into the sin of idol worship. Alongside Moses, who served for forty years and held an equal status, was Aaron. Unfortunately, due to fear, he didn't uphold principles during this crucial moment and allowed the Israelites to go astray.

各位弟兄姊妹，平安。今天我們的讀經進度是申命記第九章的13到29節。

昨天的經文提醒我們不可驕傲，上帝引導以色列人征服迦南地的民族。今天，祂也在我們的生活中幫助著我們。在這裡，摩西提到了以色列人在曠野中所犯的一個重大錯誤，就是在摩西在西奈山頂與上帝相會的四十天裡，以色列百姓偏離正道，製造了一個金牛犢，並將其當作神來崇拜。他們開始陷入崇拜偶像的罪中。和摩西一同服侍四十年，有同等地位的亞倫，卻因為害怕，沒有在這關鍵的時刻堅守原則，而縱容以色列人走偏。

屬靈的領袖對於一個群體、社群，甚至一個國家都至關重要。當一位領袖在位時，一個國家能夠正常運轉，但如果沒有領袖，這個國家就容易偏離正道。無論是古代的以色列還是今天的國家，一位真正的領袖並不一定會討人喜歡，但他們會堅守正確的事情。當摩西回到以色列後，他堅決責備以色列人，將原本的金牛

Peace be with you, brothers and sisters. Today, we will read together Deuteronomy chapter 9, verses 1 to 12.

In this passage, we can see the sovereignty of God and His reminder to the Israelites. God's choice is not based on the righteousness or superiority of the Israelites but is an expression of His sovereignty. Let us explore some important principles here.

In Deuteronomy chapter 7, God tells the Israelites not to be afraid. However, in chapter 9, God mentions some inhabitants of Canaan who are currently dwelling there, described as strong and courageous people. God wants to remind the Israelites that they should not be proud because it is God that’s fighting for them, and they should not become arrogant. Just as it was mentioned in chapter 8, "Do not exalt yourself." The encouragement in chapter 7 is for those who are prone to fear, while the mention of these formidable inhabitants is to remind others not to become proud. These reminders appl
