May 9【每日活水】谦卑能使恶人回心转意

 

撒母耳记上26:13~20

13 大卫过到那边去,远远地站在山顶上,与他们相离甚远。
14 大卫呼叫百姓和尼珥的儿子押尼珥说:「押尼珥啊,你为何不答应呢?」押尼珥说:「你是谁?竟敢呼叫王呢?」
15 大卫对押尼珥说:「你不是个勇士吗?以色列中谁能比你呢?民中有人进来要害死王-你的主,你为何没有保护王-你的主呢?
16 你这样是不好的!我指着永生的耶/和/华起誓,你们都是该死的;因为没有保护你们的主,就是耶/和/华的受膏者。现在你看看王头旁的枪和水瓶在哪里。」
17  扫罗听出是大卫的声音,就说:「我儿大卫,这是你的声音吗?」大卫说:「主-我的王啊,是我的声音」;
18 又说:「我做了什么?我手里有什么恶事?我主竟追赶仆人呢?
19 求我主我王听仆人的话:若是耶/和/华激发你攻击我,愿耶/和/华收纳祭物;若是人激发你,愿他在耶/和/华面前受咒诅;因为他现今赶逐我,不容我在耶/和/华的产业上有分,说:『你去事奉别 SHEN 吧!』
20 现在求王不要使我的血流在离耶/和/华远的地方。以色列王出来是寻找一个虼蚤,如同人在山上猎取一个鹧鸪一般。」
13 Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them.
14 He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, “Aren’t you going to answer me, Abner?”
Abner replied, “Who are you who calls to the king?”
15 David said, “You’re a man, aren’t you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn’t you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king.
16 What you have done is not good. As surely as the Lord lives, you and your men must die, because you did not guard your master, the Lord’s anointed. Look around you. Where are the king’s spear and water jug that were near his head?”
17 Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is that your voice, David my son?”
David replied, “Yes it is, my lord the king.”
18 And he added, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong am I guilty of?
19 Now let my lord the king listen to his servant’s words. If the Lord has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering. If, however, people have done it, may they be cursed before the Lord! They have driven me today from my share in the Lord’s inheritance and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.’
20 Now do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the Lord. The king of Israel has come out to look for a flea—as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
 

内容观察

1.大卫在山顶上对押尼珥说了什么?(15~16节)

2.大卫如何称呼扫罗?(17~18节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.大卫为什么高举扫罗,同时谦称自己为仆人和跳蚤?
 

个人感受

4.为了照顾对方的情绪,需要降卑自己,对此我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.最近我是否有意气用事的时候?

6.为了用谦卑的言语和行动来化解纠纷,成为和平的使者,我决定要怎么做?

你不是个大丈夫吗(15节):纵有以色列最勇猛的武将押尼珥护卫,扫罗仍有性命之虞,可见没有 SHEN 的保守,一切看守和辛苦都是徒劳。
撒上24:14“以色列王出来要寻找谁呢?你要追赶谁呢?不过是一条死狗,一只跳蚤而已。”

灵/修指南

大卫带着枪和水壶离开扫罗的军营,远远地站在山顶上,呼叫押尼珥并责备他,因为押尼珥肩负保护扫罗的责任,却没能发现敌人接近扫罗(15~16节)。这时,扫罗认出大卫的声音,就呼叫他,大卫高举扫罗,称他为“我主、我王”,又自称是扫罗的仆人,以表忠信。接着,大卫表示希望那些陷害自己的人在 SHEN 面前当受诅咒(17~19节)。大卫自比“仆人”和“跳蚤”,满心谦卑,这样的表达在大卫于隐·基底洞穴饶扫罗一命时也用过,表明大卫不靠自己的能力、只靠 SHEN 的能力(参撒上24:14)。因此, SHEN 的百姓为了和恶人也能和睦相处,需要谦卑说话,谦卑行动,因为谦卑能使恶人回心转意,也能借此成就 SHEN 的旨意。
 

内室dao告

求 SHEN 帮助我不被自己的情绪束缚,而是用谦卑的言行来成就 SHEN 的旨意。
