親愛的家人，平安。
這幾天我們從創世記第一章一路讀到第六章，看見人類生命的方向是一步一步改變的。
起初，神創造天地，祂看一切都是好的；人活在神的形像中，活在神的同在裡，也活在神所設立的秩序中。可是到了創世記第三章，人開始不再單單聽神的話，而是被眼目所看見的吸引，用自己的感覺、判斷和渴望去決定生命的方向。
到了創世記第四章，罪進入人與人的關係，該隱殺了亞伯。到了創世記第五章，人類一代一代延續，但經文不斷重複：「就死了。」這讓我們看見，罪帶來的結果不是生命更豐盛，而是死亡進入了人的歷史。
今天來到創世記第六章，罪已經不只是個人心中的偏離，也不只是家庭關係中的破裂，而是擴散到整個世代。經文說：「神的兒子們看見人的女子美貌，就隨意挑選，娶來為妻。」這裡再次出現「看見」。但這一次的看見，已經不只是單純的觀察，而是被慾望、情慾、血氣和自己的喜好牽引。
人看見美貌，就隨意挑選。這說明人不再尋求神的心意，也不再敬畏神的秩序，而是憑眼目、感覺和慾望去作選擇。
箴言19:14說：
「房屋錢財是祖宗所遺留的；惟有賢慧的妻是耶和華所賜的。」
創世記第六章的人是「隨意挑選」；敬畏神的人卻知道，真正美好的關係、婚姻和生命祝福，不是憑血氣抓來的，而是從神手中領受的恩典。
所以神說：「人既屬乎血氣，我的靈就不永遠住在他裡面。」當人一直跟隨血氣，生命不是更自由，而是更受限制；不是更豐盛，而是走向短暫、衰敗和死亡。
可是感謝神，創世記第六章不是只有審判，也有恩典。就在全地敗壞、人心盡都是惡的時候，聖經說：「惟有挪亞在耶和華眼前蒙恩。」
今天，神也藉著創世記第六章提醒我們：不要讓生命被眼目牽引，不要讓心一步一步走向血氣，也不要讓思想被罪惡佔據。即使在一個混亂的世代中，仍然有人可以在神眼前蒙恩；仍然有人可以不跟著世代走，而是選擇與神同行。
今天，讓我們從三方面學習，如何離開血氣，走進恩典。
一、停下來，不讓感覺作主
創世記 6:2
「神的兒子們看見人的女子美貌，就隨意挑選，娶來為妻。」
人走向血氣的第一步，往往不是一開始就作出很大的惡事，而是從一個沒有被神管理的「看見」開始。
他們看見人的女子美貌，就隨意挑選，娶來為妻。這裡不是單單講婚姻問題，而是講人生命裡面一個很深的問題：人開始讓感覺作主。
當人讓感覺作主，就會看見甚麼喜歡，就想要甚麼；被甚麼吸引，就跟隨甚麼；心裡有甚麼慾望，就用行動去滿足它。這就是「隨意挑選」的生命狀態。
今天我們也很容易這樣。聽見一句刺耳的話，就立刻想回應；遇到不合自己心意的事，就馬上被情緒帶動；面對關係、家庭、工作、金錢或服事的選擇時，第一個反應不是尋求神，而是問自己：「我喜不喜歡？我想不想要？這是否合我的感覺？」
但離開血氣的第一步，就是在感覺起來的時候，先停下來。
停下來，不是逃避問題；停下來，是不讓感覺坐在生命的寶座上。停下來，是承認我所看見的不一定是全部，我所感覺的不一定是準確，我所想要的不一定是神的心意。
雅各書 1:19-20
「我親愛的弟兄們，這是你們所知道的。但你們各人要快快的聽，慢慢的說，慢慢的動怒，因為人的怒氣並不成就 神的義。」
人的血氣常常最先從反應中出來。快快地說、快快地怒、快快地決定，很多時候不是信心，而是血氣。神要我們學習慢下來，先聽，先讓心回到祂面前。
離開血氣，不是從很大的屬靈行動開始，而是從一個很真實的操練開始：
主啊，我現在有感覺，但我不要讓感覺作主；
我現在有慾望，但我不要讓慾望帶路；
我現在有情緒，但我不要讓情緒決定我的回應。
當我們願意停下來，心就開始從血氣的牽引中被神挽回。
二、帶回神面前，重新分辨選擇
箴言 19:14
「房屋錢財是祖宗所遺留的；惟有賢慧的妻是耶和華所賜的。」
創世記6:2說，他們看見人的女子美貌，就隨意挑選，娶來為妻；箴言19:14卻說，惟有賢慧的妻是耶和華所賜的。這兩節經文形成很深的對比。
一邊是「隨意挑選」；
另一邊是「耶和華所賜」。
一邊是人按眼目、血氣和喜好去取得；
另一邊是人在神面前領受、分辨和珍惜。
血氣的人是看見就取，喜歡就要，合自己心意就決定；蒙恩的人卻學習把選擇帶回神面前，重新問：
這是不是從神而來？
這是否合神的心意？
這會不會使我更靠近神？
這會不會使我的生命走在祂的秩序中？
我們的人生有很多選擇，不只是婚姻，也包括關係、工作、金錢、時間、家庭、服事、說話、回應和未來方向。很多時候，血氣不是表現在很明顯的犯罪裡，而是表現在我們把神放在選擇之外。
箴言 3:5-6
「你要專心仰賴耶和華，不可倚靠自己的聰明，在你一切所行的事上都要認定他，他必指引你的路。」
認定神，就是不再讓自己的感覺成為最後答案；認定神，就是願意讓神有權柄調整我的方向；認定神，就是相信祂所賜的，比我憑血氣抓住的更好。
當我們願意把選擇帶回神面前，我們就開始從「隨意挑選」轉向「從神領受」。這不只是行為的改變，更是生命主權的轉移。
我不再只是問自己想要甚麼，而是問神喜悅甚麼。
三、天天與神同行，活在恩典裡
創世記 6:8-9
「惟有挪亞在耶和華眼前蒙恩。」
「挪亞的後代記在下面。挪亞是個義人，在當時的世代是個完全人。挪亞與 神同行。」
創世記第六章最黑暗的地方，也是恩典最明亮的地方。當全地在神面前敗壞，地上滿了強暴，人終日所思想的盡都是惡，聖經卻說：「惟有挪亞在耶和華眼前蒙恩。」
挪亞不是活在一個容易敬虔的時代。他活在一個屬血氣、滿了敗壞、強暴和混亂的世代。但聖經說，他是義人，是完全人，並且與神同行。
這裡最重要的，不只是挪亞做了甚麼，而是挪亞怎樣活。他不是只在某一刻作了一個正確決定，而是在那個世代中持續與神同行。
與神同行，不是一時感動；
與神同行，是每天讓神在我的生活中有位置。
與神同行，不是只在禱告中親近神，也是在選擇中聽神、在關係中敬畏神、在壓力中倚靠神、在世代混亂中仍然不離開神。
彌迦書 6:8
「世人哪，耶和華已指示你何為善。他向你所要的是甚麼呢？只要你行公義，好憐憫，存謙卑的心，與你的 神同行。」
走進恩典，不只是今天聽見一篇信息，而是從今天開始，每天都問神：
主啊，我今天怎樣與祢同行？
我今天的眼目怎樣回到祢面前？
我今天的選擇怎樣交給祢分辨？
我今天的反應怎樣不再出於血氣，而是出於聖靈？
當一個人天天與神同行，他就不會輕易被世代帶走。即使環境敗壞，他仍然可以在神面前蒙恩；即使世界充滿血氣，他仍然可以活在聖靈的引導中。
所以，走進恩典不是一次性的感動，而是一條每日同行的路。
【總結】
創世記第六章讓我們看見，人若讓眼目離開神，就會被感覺和慾望牽引；人若一直順著感覺和慾望，就會走向血氣；人若長久活在血氣裡，心思、生活、關係和整個生命方向都會慢慢敗壞。
但神不是只讓我們看見敗壞，神也讓我們看見恩典。當全地都在神面前敗壞的時候，挪亞仍然在耶和華眼前蒙恩。
今天，神也呼喚我們離開血氣，走進恩典。這條路不是很複雜，卻很真實：
先停下來，不讓感覺作主；
再把選擇帶回神面前，重新分辨；
然後天天與神同行，活在祂的恩典裡。
當我們願意這樣回應神，我們的眼目會被祂重新校正，我們的選擇會被祂重新引導，我們的心思會被祂重新更新，我們的生命也會在這個世代中重新活在祂的恩典和遮蓋裡。
【追求】
當神的話光照我們的心，聖靈不是要定罪我們，而是要把我們從血氣中帶回恩典裡。今天，讓我們在神面前誠實察看自己的生命：
我是否常常被眼目所看見的牽引，卻沒有把心帶回神面前分辨？
我是否讓感覺、情緒或慾望作主，太快說話、太快反應、太快作決定？
我是否在關係、家庭、工作、金錢或服事中，仍然習慣按自己的血氣行事？
我是否有些決定已經在心裡定了，只是希望神祝福，卻沒有真正讓神引導？
我是否只追求人前的成功、能力和名聲，卻忽略自己是否仍然在神眼前蒙恩？
我是否願意像挪亞一樣，在這個世代中不隨從血氣，而是天天與神同行？
這些光照不是要使我們停留在自責裡，而是要引導我們回到天父面前。當聖靈讓我們看見自己生命中仍有血氣掌權的地方，我們就可以把這些地方交給主，讓祂的恩典重新進入、醫治和帶領我們。
【禱告回應】
天父，我們來到祢面前，承認很多時候我們不是先尋求祢，而是先被眼目、感覺、慾望和血氣牽引。
主啊，求祢赦免我們。赦免我們常常看見就想要，喜歡就想取，卻忘記真正美好的祝福都應該從祢手中領受。
聖靈，求祢幫助我們學習停下來，不讓感覺作主；幫助我們把生命的選擇帶回祢面前，重新分辨祢的心意。
天父，求祢帶領我們天天與祢同行。使我們在日常生活、家庭、關係、工作和服事中，不再隨從血氣，而是順著聖靈而行。
謝謝祢在審判中仍然有恩典。當全地敗壞的時候，挪亞仍然在祢眼前蒙恩。今天我們也願意回到祢面前，成為在祢眼前蒙恩、與祢同行的人。
願我們的眼目回到祢面前，願我們的選擇交在祢手中，願我們的生命離開血氣，願我們每天都走在祢的恩典裡。
奉主耶穌基督的名禱告，阿們。
創世記 6
1 當人在世上多起來，又生女兒的時候， 2 神的兒子們看見人的女子美貌，就隨意挑選，娶來為妻。 3 耶和華說：「人既屬乎血氣，我的靈就不永遠住在他裡面，然而他的日子還可到一百二十年。」 4 那時候有偉人在地上，後來神的兒子們和人的女子們交合生子，那就是上古英武有名的人。
5 耶和華見人在地上罪惡很大，終日所思想的盡都是惡。 6 耶和華就後悔造人在地上，心中憂傷。 7 耶和華說：「我要將所造的人和走獸並昆蟲，以及空中的飛鳥，都從地上除滅，因為我造他們後悔了。」 8 唯有挪亞在耶和華眼前蒙恩。
9 挪亞的後代記在下面。挪亞是個義人，在當時的世代是個完全人。挪亞與神同行。 10 挪亞生了三個兒子，就是閃、含、雅弗。 11 世界在神面前敗壞，地上滿了強暴。 12 神觀看世界，見是敗壞了，凡有血氣的人，在地上都敗壞了行為。
13 神就對挪亞說：「凡有血氣的人，他的盡頭已經來到我面前，因為地上滿了他們的強暴。我要把他們和地一併毀滅。 14 你要用歌斐木造一隻方舟，分一間一間地造，裡外抹上松香。 15 方舟的造法乃是這樣：要長三百肘，寬五十肘，高三十肘。 16 方舟上邊要留透光處，高一肘。方舟的門要開在旁邊。方舟要分上、中、下三層。 17 看哪，我要使洪水氾濫在地上，毀滅天下，凡地上有血肉、有氣息的活物，無一不死。 18 我卻要與你立約，你同你的妻，與兒子、兒婦，都要進入方舟。 19 凡有血肉的活物，每樣兩個，一公一母，你要帶進方舟，好在你那裡保全生命。 20 飛鳥各從其類，牲畜各從其類，地上的昆蟲各從其類，每樣兩個，要到你那裡，好保全生命。 21 你要拿各樣食物積蓄起來，好做你和牠們的食物。」 22 挪亞就這樣行。凡神所吩咐的，他都照樣行了。
Dear family, peace to you.
Over these past few days, as we have read from Genesis 1 to Genesis 6, we can see that humanity did not move away from God all at once, but step by step.
In Genesis 3, people began to be drawn by what their eyes saw, and decisions were made according to desire rather than God’s word. In Genesis 4, sin entered human relationships, and Cain killed Abel. In Genesis 5, generation after generation continued, yet the repeated words “and he died” remind us that sin brought death into human history.
Today, in Genesis 6, sin has spread beyond one person or one family into the whole generation. Genesis 6:2 shows that people saw beauty and chose as they pleased. This reveals a life no longer led by God’s will, but by sight, feeling, desire, and the flesh.
Proverbs 19:14 reminds us that a prudent wife is from the Lord. This gives a clear contrast: Genesis 6 shows people choosing as they pleased; Proverbs reminds us that true blessing is received from God’s hand.
When people continue to follow the flesh, life does not become freer or fuller. It becomes limited, corrupted, and separated from God’s order. Yet Genesis 6 is not only about judgment. It is also about grace. In a corrupt generation, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Today, God calls us not to be led by what we see, not to be ruled by feelings, and not to follow the flesh, but to return to Him and walk in His grace.
- Pause, and do not let feelings take control
Genesis 6:2
The first step toward the flesh often begins with a “seeing” that has not been brought before God. The people saw beauty and chose as they pleased. This was not only about marriage; it revealed a deeper issue of the heart: they allowed feelings and desires to take control.
We can easily do the same. When we hear something unpleasant, we want to respond immediately. When things do not go our way, we are quickly driven by emotion. When facing choices in relationships, family, work, finances, or service, we may first ask, “Do I like this? Do I want this? Does this fit my feeling?”
But the first step in leaving the flesh is to pause.
To pause is not to avoid the issue. It is to refuse to let feelings sit on the throne of our lives. It is to acknowledge that what I see may not be the whole picture, what I feel may not be accurate, and what I want may not be God’s will.
James 1:19-20
God teaches us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. Many broken places in life begin when we speak too quickly, react too quickly, or decide too quickly.
So when feelings rise, we can pray:
Lord, I have feelings, but I do not want my feelings to rule me.
I have desires, but I do not want my desires to lead me.
I have emotions, but I do not want my emotions to decide my response.
- Bring our choices back before God and discern again
Proverbs 19:14
Genesis 6:2 shows people choosing as they pleased. Proverbs 19:14 reminds us that true blessing comes from the Lord.
On one side is choosing by sight, desire, and personal preference.
On the other side is receiving, discerning, and treasuring before God.
A person who lives in the flesh sees and takes, likes and wants, feels it is right and then decides. But a person who walks in grace learns to bring choices back before God and ask:
Is this from God?
Does this please God?
Will this draw me closer to God?
Will this lead my life into His order?
Proverbs 3:5-6
To acknowledge God in all our ways means that our feelings are no longer the final answer. It means we allow God to adjust our direction. It means we believe what He gives is better than what we grasp by the flesh.
When we bring our choices back before God, we move from “choosing as we please” to “receiving from God.” This is not only a change of action; it is a transfer of lordship.
I no longer only ask what I want. I begin to ask what pleases God.
- Walk with God daily and live in grace
Genesis 6:8-9
The darkest place in Genesis 6 is also where grace shines most brightly. When the whole earth was corrupt before God, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Noah did not live in an easy generation. He lived in a generation filled with flesh, corruption, violence, and confusion. Yet Scripture says that he was righteous, blameless in his generation, and walked with God.
Walking with God is not a momentary feeling.
It is giving God a place in daily life.
It is listening to Him in choices, reverencing Him in relationships, trusting Him under pressure, and refusing to leave Him even when the generation is confused.
Micah 6:8
Walking in grace means asking God each day:
Lord, how can I walk with You today?
How can my eyes return to You?
How can my choices be brought before You?
How can my response come from the Holy Spirit, not from the flesh?
When a person walks with God daily, they will not be easily swept away by the generation. Even when the environment is corrupt, they can still find grace before God.
Summary
Genesis 6 shows us that when people allow their eyes to move away from God, they will be drawn by feelings and desires. When they continue to follow feelings and desires, they move toward the flesh. When they live in the flesh for a long time, their thoughts, relationships, and life direction gradually become corrupted.
But God does not only show us corruption; He also shows us grace. When the whole earth was corrupt, Noah still found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Today, God calls us to leave flesh and walk in grace:
Pause, and do not let feelings take control.
Bring our choices back before God and discern again.
Walk with God daily and live in His grace.
Reflection
When God’s word shines into our hearts, the Holy Spirit is not trying to condemn us. He is bringing us out of the flesh and back into grace.
Am I often drawn by what my eyes see, without bringing my heart back before God?
Do I allow feelings, emotions, or desires to make me speak too quickly, react too quickly, or decide too quickly?
Are there decisions I have already made in my heart, while only hoping that God will bless them?
Am I willing to be like Noah, not following the flesh in this generation, but walking with God daily?
This light is not meant to keep us in self-condemnation. It is meant to lead us back to the Father. When the Holy Spirit shows us where the flesh is still ruling, we can bring those areas to the Lord and allow His grace to enter again.
Prayer Response
Father, we come before You and acknowledge that many times we do not seek You first. Instead, we are drawn by what we see, by our feelings, desires, and flesh.
Lord, forgive us for often seeing and wanting, liking and taking, while forgetting that truly good blessings should be received from Your hand.
Holy Spirit, help us learn to pause and not let feelings take control. Help us bring our choices back before You and discern Your will again.
Father, lead us to walk with You daily. In our daily life, family, relationships, work, and service, help us no longer follow the flesh, but walk by the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that even in judgment, there is still grace. When the whole earth was corrupt, Noah still found grace in Your eyes. Today, we also desire to return before You and become people who find grace in Your eyes and walk with You.
May our eyes return to You. May our choices be placed in Your hands. May our lives leave the flesh. May we walk in Your grace every day.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Genesis 6
Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch. 15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16 You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die. 18 But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. 21 And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”
22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
