Feb21【每日活水】靠主话语胜过属灵的黑暗期

 

撒母耳记上 3:10~4:1a

10耶和华又来站着,像前三次呼唤说:「撒母耳啊!撒母耳啊!」撒母耳回答说:「请说,仆人敬听!」

 

11耶和华对撒母耳说:「我在以色列中必行一件事,叫听见的人都必耳鸣。

 

12我指着以利家所说的话,到了时候,我必始终应验在以利身上。

 

13我曾告诉他必永远降罚与他的家,因他知道儿子作孽,自招咒诅,却不禁止他们。

 

14所以我向以利家起誓说:『以利家的罪孽,虽献祭奉礼物,永不能得赎去。』」

 

15 撒母耳睡到天亮,就开了耶和华的殿门,不敢将默示告诉以利。

 

16以利呼唤撒母耳说:「我儿撒母耳啊!」撒母耳回答说:「我在这里!」

 

17以利说:「耶和华对你说什么,你不要向我隐瞒;你若将 神对你所说的隐瞒一句,愿他重重地降罚与你。」

 

18撒母耳就把一切话都告诉了以利,并没有隐瞒。以利说:「这是出于耶和华,愿他凭自己的意旨而行。」

 

19 撒母耳长大了,耶和华与他同在,使他所说的话一句都不落空。

 

20从但到别是巴所有的以色列人都知道耶和华立撒母耳为先知。

 

21耶和华又在示罗显现;因为耶和华将自己的话默示撒母耳,撒母耳就把这话传遍以色列地。

 

10The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!”

 

Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

 

11And the Lord said to Samuel: “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it tingle.

 

12At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family—from beginning to end.

 

13For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God, and he failed to restrain them.

 

14Therefore I swore to the house of Eli, ‘The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.’ ”

 

15Samuel lay down until morning and then opened the doors of the house of the Lord. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision,

 

16but Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son.”Samuel answered, “Here I am.”

 

17“What was it he said to you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you.”

 

18So Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing from him. Then Eli said, “He is the Lord; let him do what is good in his eyes.”

 

19The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.

 

20And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord.

 

21The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word.

双耳齐鸣(3:11):表示任何人听到以利一家所遭受的审判,都会感到震撼。
撒母耳……..并没有隐瞒(3:18) :撒母耳信实地完成他作为先知的首次任务,忠实地传达神的旨意。
他是耶和华,愿他照他看为好的去做(3:18) :这反映了以利的信仰态度,即使是对自己有损害的事,只要是神的旨意,就谦卑顺从接受。

灵修指南

神第四次呼唤撒母耳时,撒母耳照着以利所说的在神面前恭敬聆听(3:10),神对撒母耳说,祂要惩罚将以色列人带入属灵黑暗期的祭司以利一家(3:12—14),神之所以呼唤撒母耳,是要使他成为开启新时代的先知。另外,神也与撒母耳同在,使他所说的话一句都不落空。神向撒母耳说话,对他启示自己的旨意;撒母耳则向以色列人传讲神的旨意,由此为“神的言语稀少”的时代画下句点。其中最关键的一点,就是神与撒母耳同在(3:19),唯有与神同行,并领受主话语的人,才能成为被神使用来传讲祂旨意的人。因此,信徒要渴慕时常与神同行、领受神的话语,也要预备自己来彰显神的旨意。要谨记,唯有领受话语、与神同行,才能胜过属灵的黑暗期。
 

内室祷/告

求神赐下恩典,使我领受话语、与神同行,靠着主胜过属灵的黑暗期。
