Mar07【每日活水】怀着 SHEN 所赐的确信承担使/命

撒母耳记上 10:1~8

1   撒母耳拿瓶膏油倒在扫罗的头上,与他亲嘴,说:「这不是耶/和/华膏你作他产业的君吗?
你今日与我离别之后,在便雅悯境内的泄撒,靠近拉结的坟墓,要遇见两个人。他们必对你说:『你去找的那几头驴已经找着了。现在你父亲不为驴挂心,反为你担忧,说:我为儿子怎么才好呢?』
你从那里往前行,到了他泊的橡树那里,必遇见三个往伯特利去拜  SHEN 的人:一个带着三只山羊羔,一个带着三个饼,一个带着一皮袋酒。
他们必问你安,给你两个饼,你就从他们手中接过来。
此后你到  SHEN 的山,在那里有非利士人的防兵。你到了城的时候,必遇见一班先知从邱坛下来,前面有鼓瑟的、击鼓的、吹笛的、弹琴的,他们都受感说话。
耶/和/华的灵必大大感动你,你就与他们一同受感说话;你要变为新人。
这兆头临到你,你就可以趁时而做,因为  SHEN 与你同在。
你当在我以先下到吉甲,我也必下到那里献燔祭和平安祭。你要等候七日,等我到了那里,指示你当行的事。」

Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying, “Has not the Lord anointed you ruler over his inheritance?
When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel’s tomb, at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you set out to look for have been found. And now your father has stopped thinking about them and is worried about you. He is asking, “What shall I do about my son?” ’
“Then you will go on from there until you reach the great tree of Tabor. Three men going up to worship God at Bethel will meet you there. One will be carrying three young goats, another three loaves of bread, and another a skin of wine.
They will greet you and offer you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from them.
“After that you will go to Gibeah of God, where there is a Philistine outpost. As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, timbrels, pipes and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying.
The Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.
Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you.
“Go down ahead of me to Gilgal. I will surely come down to you to sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, but you must wait seven days until I come to you and tell you what you are to do.”

灵/修指南

撒母耳用油膏立扫罗之后,向他指示了许多征兆,为了使他确信自己所领受的呼召和使/命是从 SHEN 而来的。
在此之前,膏抹的仪式主要是用来设立祭司,在这里则首次用来膏立君王。扫罗在毫无预警的情况下被撒母耳用油膏抹,心中必定充满疑惑。撒母耳接下来对扫罗预言了一连串他会遇到的事情,借着这些征兆来使他确信自己是被 SHEN 呼召作以色列的君王。
撒母耳也告诉扫罗,他在这一连串的事情之后将会被 SHEN 的灵大大感动,与先知们一起受感说话(5—6节),这表示 SHEN 的灵要掌管扫罗,使他得着改变,并使他有能力来执行 SHEN 要他去做的事情。
经由扫罗受膏的事件我们可以知道, SHEN 在赋予我们使/命和任务时,必定也会借着身边的人和事物来帮助我们确信 TA 的旨意,并且也会赐下能够担负起使/命的力量和能力。愿我们都能怀着对 SHEN 旨意的确信,倚靠 SHEN 的灵所赐的力量来承担使/命。
 

内室祷/告

愿我怀着对 SHEN 旨意的确信,倚靠 SHEN 的灵所赐的力量来承担使/命。
