May 11【每日活水】在抉择时,我信靠什么?

 

撒母耳记上27:1~7

大卫在非利士人中间
1 大卫心里说:「必有一日我死在扫罗手里,不如逃奔非利士地去。扫罗见我不在以色列的境内,就必绝望,不再寻索我;这样我可以脱离他的手。」
2 于是大卫起身,和跟随他的六百人投奔迦特王-玛俄的儿子亚吉去了。
3 大卫和他的两个妻,就是耶斯列人亚希暖和作过拿八妻的迦密人亚比该,并跟随他的人,连各人的眷属,都住在迦特的亚吉那里。
4 有人告诉扫罗说:「大卫逃到迦特。」扫罗就不再寻索他了。
5 大卫对亚吉说:「我若在你眼前蒙恩,求你在京外的城邑中赐我一个地方居住。仆人何必与王同住京都呢?」
6 当日亚吉将洗革拉赐给他,因此洗革拉属犹大王,直到今日。
7 大卫在非利士地住了一年零四个月。
David Among the Philistines
1 But David thought to himself, “One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.”
2 So David and the six hundred men with him left and went over to Achish son of Maok king of Gath.
3 David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
4 When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
5 Then David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be assigned to me in one of the country towns, that I may live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
6 So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag, and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since.
7 David lived in Philistine territory a year and four months.

个人感受

4.看到大卫为了一劳永逸,选择在非利士人之中定居,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我是否曾被眼前的状况左右,作了省事的选择,而不是 SHEN 的旨意?

6.为了不走安逸简单的道路,而是追随 SHEN 的旨意,我决定要怎么做?

求你在郊外的城镇中赐我一个地方(5节):大卫要求独立的居住地,是为了远离政治中心,避免引起亚吉手下的猜忌。
撒上22:5“先知迦得对大卫说:'你不要住在山寨,要到犹大地去。”大卫就去,来到哈列的树林。”

灵/修指南

大卫惧怕扫罗继续寻索自己,也知道自己在以色列境内已无处可逃,因此决定逃到非利士人的地方(1节)。跟随大卫的六百人也一起到了非利士,投奔了迦特王亚吉。亚吉接纳了大卫一行,并将洗革拉赐给他们居住。这一切看起来平坦顺遂,但事实上并非如此。大卫过去得以存留性命,是因为信靠 SHEN 的带领(参撒上22:5),而不是自己的谋略和他人的帮助,可这一次他更相信自己的判断。同样的,我们也有可能像大卫一样,在领受了 SHEN 应许的情况下,还是被眼前的状况所左右,选择有利于自己、轻省安逸的道路,然而这并不合乎 SHEN 百姓的样式。我们应当信靠 SHEN 的应许,超过眼前的现状,也需要有顺从 SHEN 话语的心志。此刻,我是倚靠自己选择安逸,还是靠主勇敢面对艰难呢?
 

内室dao告

求 SHEN 帮助我不选择安逸和便利,而是选择顺从主并忍耐到底。
