Jun 20 【每日活水】经历 SHEN 转危为安的工作

以斯帖记8：9～17

9 三月，就是西弯月二十三日，将王的书记召来，按着末底改所吩咐的，用各省的文字、各族的方言，并犹大人的文字方言写谕旨，传给那从印度直到古实一百二十七省的犹大人和总督、省长、首领。

10 末底改奉亚哈随鲁王的名写谕旨，用王的戒指盖印，交给骑御马圈快马的驿卒，传到各处。

11-12 谕旨中，王准各省各城的犹大人在一日之间，十二月，就是亚达月十三日，聚集保护性命，剪除杀戮灭绝那要攻击犹大人的一切仇敌和他们的妻子儿女，夺取他们的财为掠物。

13 抄录这谕旨，颁行各省，宣告各族，使犹大人预备等候那日，在仇敌身上报仇。

14 于是骑快马的驿卒被王命催促，急忙起行；谕旨也传遍书珊城。

15 末底改穿着蓝色白色的朝服，头戴大金冠冕，又穿紫色细麻布的外袍，从王面前出来；书珊城的人民都欢呼快乐。

16 犹大人有光荣，欢喜快乐而得尊贵。

17 王的谕旨所到的各省各城，犹大人都欢喜快乐，设摆筵宴，以那日为吉日。那国的人民，有许多因惧怕犹大人，就入了犹大籍。

9 At once the royal secretaries were summoned—on the twenty-third day of the third month, the month of Sivan. They wrote out all Mordecai’s orders to the Jews, and to the satraps, governors and nobles of the 127 provinces stretching from India to Cush. These orders were written in the script of each province and the language of each people and also to the Jews in their own script and language.

10 Mordecai wrote in the name of King Xerxes, sealed the dispatches with the king’s signet ring, and sent them by mounted couriers, who rode fast horses especially bred for the king.

11 The king’s edict granted the Jews in every city the right to assemble and protect themselves; to destroy, kill and annihilate the armed men of any nationality or province who might attack them and their women and children, and to plunder the property of their enemies.

12 The day appointed for the Jews to do this in all the provinces of King Xerxes was the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar.

13 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 that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

14 The couriers, riding the royal horses, went out, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa.

15 When Mordecai left the king’s presence, he was wearing royal garments of blue and white, a large crown of gold and a purple robe of fine linen. And the city of Susa held a joyous celebration.

16 For the Jews it was a time of happiness and joy, gladness and honor.

17 In every province and in every city to which the edict of the king came, there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with feasting and celebrating. And many people of other nationalities became Jews because fear of the Jews had seized them.

内容观察

1.末底改奉王的名所写的新谕旨是什么？（11～12节）

2.王的谕旨和敕令到了各省各城之后，发生了什么事？（17节）

思考与默想

3.一度命悬一线的犹太人，他们的命运为什么得以翻转？

个人感受

4.看到犹太人的命运被翻转，我有什么感想？

决心与应用

5.我是否曾有过转危为安的经历？

6.为了坚定信靠 SHEN 转危为安的大能，我决定要怎么做？

三月，就是西弯月二十三日（9节）：哈曼拟定诏书的日期是一月十三日，在两个月又十天之后，末底改拟定了新的诏书。
蓝色白色的朝服（15节）：仅次于波斯王紫色朝服的朝服，由此可见末底改的地位。
国中许多民族的人因惧怕犹太人，就自称为犹太人（17节）：表示犹太人的身份和地位已经发生了改变，曾经命悬一线，如今地位大大提升。

灵/修指南

王的书记受召而来，按着末底改所吩咐的，拟定了新的谕旨。新的谕旨和哈曼的诏书一样，用了“剪除”、“杀戮”、“灭绝”等字眼，只不过这些词语都不是用在犹太人身上，而是用在攻击犹太人的人身上，表明犹太人被允许进行正当防卫，他们的命运已经发生了改变（11节）。谕旨一经颁布，犹太人便从危机中脱离了出来。而末底改也身着蓝色白色的朝服，头戴大金冠冕，又穿紫色细麻布的外袍从王面前出来，备受尊荣（14~15节）。因新谕旨的颁布，犹太人的地位得到极大的提升，外邦人也开始接纳犹太人的文化和习俗，甚至自称为犹太人。而这一切都是在 SHEN 的统管之下发生的，生活在今天的我们，也应当像以斯帖和末底改一样，蒙 SHEN 使用，经历到 SHEN 奇妙的工作。且要铭记， SHEN 转危为安的工作，会临到那些全然敬畏 SHEN 的人身上。

内室dao告

求 SHEN 帮助我将生活的危机全然交托给 SHEN ，仰望 SHEN 转危为安的工作，作信心的儿女。
