Apr 03【每日活水】成为有神的灵同在的人

 

撒母耳记上16:14~23

大卫在扫罗的宫里

14  耶和华的灵离开扫罗,有恶魔从耶和华那里来扰乱他。 

15  扫罗的臣仆对他说:「现在有恶魔从 神那里来扰乱你。 

16  我们的主可以吩咐面前的臣仆,找一个善于弹琴的来,等 神那里来的恶魔临到你身上的时候,使他用手弹琴,你就好了。」 

17  扫罗对臣仆说:「你们可以为我找一个善于弹琴的,带到我这里来。」 

18  其中有一个少年人说:「我曾见伯利恒耶西的一个儿子善于弹琴,是大有勇敢的战士,说话合宜,容貌俊美,耶和华也与他同在。」 

19  于是扫罗差遣使者去见耶西,说:「请你打发你放羊的儿子大卫到我这里来。」 

20  耶西就把几个饼和一皮袋酒,并一只山羊羔,都驮在驴上,交给他儿子大卫,送与扫罗。 

21  大卫到了扫罗那里,就侍立在扫罗面前。扫罗甚喜爱他,他就作了扫罗拿兵器的人。 

22  扫罗差遣人去见耶西,说:「求你容大卫侍立在我面前,因为他在我眼前蒙了恩。」 

23  从 神那里来的恶魔临到扫罗身上的时候,大卫就拿琴,用手而弹,扫罗便舒畅爽快,恶魔离了他。 

David in Saul’s Service

14  Now the Spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.
15  Saul’s attendants said to him, “See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you. 
16  Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the lyre. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes on you, and you will feel better.”
17  So Saul said to his attendants, “Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.”
18  One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the Lord is with him.”
19  Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.” 
20  So Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul.
21  David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers. 
22  Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Allow David to remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”
23  Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.

灵修指南

大卫受膏以后,有神的灵与他同在(撒上 16:13),与此对比的,是神的灵离开了扫罗,并有邪灵来扰乱他(14节)。
因扫罗时常陷入焦虑和恐惧之中,他的臣仆便建议他寻求音乐疗法的帮助。其中一位仆人便向扫罗推荐耶西的儿子大卫,说他不但善于弹琴、是大能的勇士,并且有神的同在,是担负这项任务的不二人选(18节),因此大卫就被征召成为扫罗的侍从。
每当扫罗陷入精神方面的困扰,大卫就弹琴,使扫罗的情绪稳定下来,缓解他精神方面的困扰(23节)。之所以在大卫弹琴时邪灵会离开扫罗,并非是竖琴的声音有奇特的功用,而是因大卫有神的同在。如此,神的灵与受膏的大卫同在,而借着大卫,扫罗的困扰得到缓解。
愿我们都带着神的同在,在生活中成为他人的陪伴及帮助。
 

内室祷告

愿我因有神的同在,能在生活中成为他人的陪伴及帮助。
