Mar06【每日活水】在分享中明白 SHEN 的心意

撒母耳记上 9:22~27

22   撒母耳扫罗和他仆人进了客堂,使他们在请来的客中坐首位;客约有三十个人。
23  撒母耳对厨役说:「我交给你收存的那一分祭肉现在可以拿来。」

24  厨役就把收存的腿拿来,摆在扫罗面前,撒母耳说:「这是所留下的,放在你面前。吃吧!因我请百姓的时候,特意为你存留这肉到此时。」

当日,扫罗就与撒母耳同席。
撒母耳膏扫罗作王
25  众人从邱坛下来进城,撒母耳扫罗在房顶上说话。
26  次日清早起来,黎明的时候,扫罗在房顶上。撒母耳呼叫他说:「起来吧,我好送你回去。」扫罗就起来,和撒母耳一同出去。
 27  二人下到城角,撒母耳扫罗说:「要吩咐仆人先走(仆人就先走了);你且站在这里,等我将  SHEN 的话传与你听。」

22  Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and seated them at the head of those who were invited—about thirty in number.
23  Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the piece of meat I gave you, the one I told you to lay aside.”
24  So the cook took up the thigh with what was on it and set it in front of Saul. Samuel said, “Here is what has been kept for you. Eat, because it was set aside for you for this occasion from the time I said, ‘I have invited guests.’ ” And Saul dined with Samuel that day.
25  After they came down from the high place to the town, Samuel talked with Saul on the roof of his house.
26  They rose about daybreak, and Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get ready, and I will send you on your way.” When Saul got ready, he and Samuel went outside together.
27  As they were going down to the edge of the town, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us”—and the servant did so—“but you stay here for a while, so that I may give you a message from God.”

灵/修指南

撒母耳招待扫罗的方式,就像扫罗已经是以色列的君王一样。扫罗在宴席间不但被指定坐在主桌上位,撒母耳也请厨师特别预备上等食物给扫罗享用,这些都是只有招待尊贵的人才会有的安排(22—24节)。
并且,撒母耳等献/祭及用餐结束后,便和扫罗一同进到城里,在房顶上谈话,次日,撒母耳又在扫罗临行前安排了私下的单独谈话(25—27节)。
从 Bible 中的这些描述可以看出,先知撒母耳亟欲与将要成为君王的扫罗交流想法,因为作以色列君王的人必须要明白 SHEN 的心意,如此才有可能按着 SHEN 的心意来施行治理。
撒母耳在还没膏立扫罗作王之前,极力把握机会向他分享 SHEN 的心意。生活在现今的我们,也当要认真看待 SHEN 的想法,时常与信/仰肢体一起分享,一同探究 SHEN 的心意。如此,我们才能在充满挑战的这世间,持续按着 SHEN 的心意来生活,也才有可能忠实承担 SHEN 所托付的重任与使/命。
 

内室祷/告

求 SHEN 帮助我更多与信/仰肢体一同探讨主的心意,并按主心意来承担使/命。
