Jun 09【每日活水】在 SHEN 面前哭泣哀号

 

以斯帖记3:12~4:3

以斯帖记 3:12~15
12 正月十三日,就召了王的书记来,照着哈曼一切所吩咐的,用各省的文字、各族的方言,奉亚哈随鲁王的名写旨意,传与总督和各省的省长,并各族的首领;又用王的戒指盖印, 
13 交给驿卒传到王的各省,吩咐将犹大人,无论老少妇女孩子,在一日之间,十二月,就是亚达月十三日,全然剪除,杀戮灭绝,并夺他们的财为掠物。 
14 抄录这旨意,颁行各省,宣告各族,使他们预备等候那日。 
15 驿卒奉王命急忙起行,旨意也传遍书珊城。王同哈曼坐下饮书珊城的民却都慌乱。
以斯帖记 4:1~3
末底改求以斯帖帮忙
1 末底改知道所做的这一切事,就撕裂衣服,穿麻衣,蒙灰尘,在城中行走,痛哭哀号。 
2 到了朝门前停住脚步,因为穿麻衣的不可进朝门。 
3 王的谕旨所到的各省各处,犹大人大大悲哀,禁食哭泣哀号,穿麻衣躺在灰中的甚多。
Esther 3:12~15
12 Then on the thirteenth day of the first month the royal secretaries were summoned. They wrote out in the script of each province and in the language of each people all Haman’s orders to the king’s satraps, the governors of the various provinces and the nobles of the various peoples. These were written in the name of King Xerxes himself and sealed with his own ring. 
13 Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces with the order to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews—young and old, women and children—on a single day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods. 
14 A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued as law in every province and made known to the people of every nationality so they would be ready for that day.
15 The couriers went out, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was bewildered.
Esther 4:1~3
Haman’s Plot to Destroy the Jews
1 After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him and giving him a seat of honor higher than that of all the other nobles. 
2 All the royal officials at the king’s gate knelt down and paid honor to Haman, for the king had commanded this concerning him. But Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor.
3 Then the royal officials at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s command?”

撕裂衣服,披麻蒙灰 (4:1) : 表示人极度悲伤和痛苦

灵/修指南

王的书记受召而来,照着哈曼的吩咐,用各省的文字、各族的语言,奉亚哈随鲁王的名写了谕旨,又用王的戒指盖印,由信差传到各省。诏书限令在亚达月十三日,把所有的犹太人,无论老少妇女孩子,全然剪除,杀戮灭绝,并抢夺他们的财产。又将抄本以救令的方式在各省颁布,通知各族,预备等候那日(3:12b~14)。王的谕旨和敕令传到了书珊城和各省各处,末底改和犹太人就撕裂衣服,披麻蒙灰 (4:1,3),这些举动表明他们内心极度悲伤痛苦。末底改在城中行走,痛哭哀号,犹太人也都极其悲哀,禁食哭泣。同样的,当我们面临困难胜过的唯一方法,就是到 SHEN 的面前恳切祈求。我们不应该在危机面前畏惧退缩而是要紧紧抓住 SHEN ,在 SHEN 面前哭泣哀号,迫切dao告,祈求 SHEN 的怜悯。
 

内室dao告

求 SHEN 使我在遇到人生的危机时紧紧抓住 SHEN ,来到 SHEN 面前恳切dao告。
