Jun 14【每日活水】不要骄傲自满

以斯帖记5：9～14

哈曼阴谋杀末底改

9 那日哈曼心中快乐，欢欢喜喜地出来；但见末底改在朝门不站起来，连身也不动，就满心恼怒末底改。

10 哈曼暂且忍耐回家，叫人请他朋友和他妻子细利斯来。

11 哈曼将他富厚的荣耀、众多的儿女，和王抬举他使他超乎首领臣仆之上，都述说给他们听。

12 哈曼又说：「王后以斯帖预备筵席，除了我之外不许别人随王赴席。明日王后又请我随王赴席；

13 只是我见犹大人末底改坐在朝门，虽有这一切荣耀，也与我无益。」

14 他的妻细利斯和他一切的朋友对他说：「不如立一个五丈高的木架，明早求王将末底改挂在其上，然后你可以欢欢喜喜地随王赴席。」哈曼以这话为美，就叫人做了木架。

Haman’s Rage Against Mordecai

9 Haman went out that day happy and in high spirits. But when he saw Mordecai at the king’s gate and observed that he neither rose nor showed fear in his presence, he was filled with rage against Mordecai.

10 Nevertheless, Haman restrained himself and went home.Calling together his friends and Zeresh, his wife,

11 Haman boasted to them about his vast wealth, his many sons, and all the ways the king had honored him and how he had elevated him above the other nobles and officials.

12 “And that’s not all,” Haman added. “I’m the only person Queen Esther invited to accompany the king to the banquet she gave. And she has invited me along with the king tomorrow.

13 But all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the king’s gate.”

14 His wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Have a pole set up, reaching to a height of fifty cubits, and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai impaled on it. Then go with the king to the banquet and enjoy yourself.” This suggestion delighted Haman, and he had the pole set up.

灵/修指南

受邀与王一同参加王后的宴席之后，哈曼以为自己已经位居波斯帝国的二把手变得骄傲自满起来。在这样的情形下，不跪拜自己的末底改就成了他的眼中钉、肉中刺（9节），于是，哈曼在回到家以后，对妻子和朋友讲到末底改对自己不敬，气愤不过，便计划杀死末底改（14节），哈曼因自己地位的上升，愈发骄傲，他对末底改的愤怒也是源自他的骄傲。但是，哈曼没有意识到自己的内心已经被骄傲填满，一心只想用自己的地位来谋害末底改。最终，哈曼因为骄傲自大，导致目中无人，也无法做出合理准确的判断，成了只顾自己利益的愚昧之人。信/徒当从哈曼身上看到，骄傲在败坏以先，因此，要时常保持谦卑和警惕因为这才是 SHEN 所喜悦的样式。不论身处怎样的位置，我们都要时刻保持谦卑。

内室dao告

求 SHEN 使我明白骄傲在败坏以先，又使我时刻保持谦卑。
