Apr 10【每日活水】放下与别人比较的心态

 

撒母耳记上18:6~16

扫罗妒忌大卫

6 大卫打死了那非利士人,同众人回来的时候,妇女们从以色列各城里出来,欢欢喜喜,打鼓击磬,歌唱跳舞,迎接扫罗王。

7 众妇女舞蹈唱和,说:「扫罗杀死千千,大卫杀死万万。」

8 扫罗甚发怒,不喜悦这话,就说:「将万万归大卫,千千归我,只剩下王位没有给他了。」

9 从这日起,扫罗就怒视大卫。

10 次日,从  SHEN 那里来的恶魔大大降在扫罗身上,他就在家中胡言乱语。大卫照常弹琴,扫罗手里拿着枪。

11 扫罗把枪一抡,心里说,我要将大卫刺透,钉在墙上。大卫躲避他两次。

12 扫罗惧怕大卫;因为耶/和/华离开自己,与大卫同在。

13 所以扫罗使大卫离开自己,立他为千夫长,他就领兵出入。

14 大卫做事无不精明,耶/和/华也与他同在。

15 扫罗见大卫做事精明,就甚怕他。

16 但以色列和犹大众人都爱大卫,因为他领他们出入。

6 When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs and with timbrels and lyres.
7 As they danced, they sang: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
8 Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. “They have credited David with tens of thousands,” he thought, “but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?”
9 And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David.
10 The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand
11 and he hurled it, saying to himself, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with David but had departed from Saul.
13 So he sent David away from him and gave him command over a thousand men, and David led the troops in their campaigns.
14 In everything he did he had great success, because the Lord was with him.
15 When Saul saw how successful he was, he was afraid of him.16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he led them in their campaigns.

灵/修指南

当以色列军队完败非利士人凯旋归来,以色列的妇女就从各城出来,载歌载舞迎接扫罗。然而,他们歌唱的内容引发扫罗的愤怒。妇女们歌颂:“扫罗杀死千千,大卫杀死万万。”这听在扫罗耳中,正像在高举大卫胜过高举他。这事激起了扫罗对大卫的嫉妒和敌意。甚至,当大卫为扫罗弹奏竖琴时,扫罗两次投掷长矛,试图杀死大卫。扫罗之所想除掉大卫,是因为他拿大卫与自己作比较,并因此生发嫉妒之心,不知不觉陷入了恐惧的泥淖。此外,当扫罗看到大卫有 SHEN 的同在,并且办事有力,嫉妒和惧怕的情绪就愈发高涨。扫罗在这里所呈现的样貌,正是我们信/仰生活的负面教材,我们必须以此为鉴戒。愿我们果断放下与别人比较的心态,不要让嫉妒侵蚀自己的心灵,而能在感恩中活出善待他人的恩典生活。
 

内室dao告

愿我放下与别人比较的心态,在感恩中活出善待他人的恩典生活。
