(1) 摩西寧可選擇要 神的同在勝於要 神所應許的祝福。你覺 神的同在到底能帶給我們什麼祝福？【請勿急於回答，最好是經過禱告、配上自己的經歷來回答這個問題】

(1) Moses rather chose GodŐs presence over GodŐs blessings. What blessings do you think GodŐs presence can bring us?  ( Do not rush to answer this question.  ItŐs better to pray first and then answer this question base on your own experiences)

 

(2) 神的同在既然是永不改變的事實，我們應當如何行－無論是個人或聚會時，能更真實的進入並享受 神的同在?
