Feb14 喜乐地回应应允dao告的God

撒母耳记上 1:19~28

撒母耳出生和奉献

19次日清早，他们起来，在耶/和/华面前敬/拜，就回拉玛。到了家里，以利加拿和妻哈拿同房，耶/和/华顾念哈拿，

20哈拿就怀孕。日期满足，生了一个儿子，给他起名叫撒母耳，说：「这是我从耶/和/华那里求来的。」

21 以利加拿和他全家都上示罗去，要向耶/和/华献年祭，并还所许的愿。

22哈拿却没有上去，对丈夫说：「等孩子断了奶，我便带他上去朝见耶/和/华，使他永远住在那里。」

23她丈夫以利加拿说：「就随你的意行吧！可以等儿子断了奶。但愿耶/和/华应验他的话。」于是妇人在家里乳养儿子，直到断了奶；

24既断了奶，就把孩子带上示罗，到了耶/和/华的殿；又带了三只公牛，一伊法细面，一皮袋酒。（那时，孩子还小。）

25宰了一只公牛，就领孩子到以利面前。

26妇人说：「主啊，我敢在你面前起誓，从前在你这里站着祈求耶/和/华的那妇人，就是我。

27我祈求为要得这孩子；耶/和/华已将我所求的赐给我了。

28所以，我将这孩子归与耶/和/华，使他终身归与耶/和/华。」于是在那里敬/拜耶/和/华。

19Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the Lord and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her.

20So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”

Hannah Dedicates Samuel

21When her husband Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual sacrifice to the Lord and to fulfill his vow,

22Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, “After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the Lord, and he will live there always.”

23“Do what seems best to you,” her husband Elkanah told her. “Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the Lord make good his word.” So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him.

24After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh.

25When the bull had been sacrificed, they brought the boy to Eli,

26and she said to him, “Pardon me, my lord. As surely as you live, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the Lord.

27I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.

28So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there.

5.我何时曾有过祷/告蒙应允的经验?

6.为了以喜乐来回应应允我祈祷的God，我决定要怎么做?

等孩子断了奶(22节):在犹太社会，婴儿的哺乳期是三年。
永远住在那里(22节):撒母耳的家庭生活只有三年，之后便一生作为委身于God的事奉者。
使他终生归给耶/和/华（28节):哈拿为感谢God的爱而献上自己的儿子，这不是一时的委身，而是永远的摆上,哈拿知道一切都是从God而来，因此能够做出超越母性的奉献行动。

灵/修指南

God听到哈拿充满恳切和真心的祈求，便应允她，赐给她一个儿子。当然，祷/告并不是God和人之间的交换条件，不是利益协商的手段。哈拿祷/告的重点不是“给我儿子”,而是“献上给God”，目的不是为了解决自己没有子女的问题，而是祈求自己在God的恩典中蒙使用。因此哈拿可以照着自己所许的愿,在蒙恩生了儿子后，甘心将儿子献给God。最后，哈拿在God面前献上敬/拜，显出她是满心喜乐地将儿子撒母耳交托给God（28节)。God使用哈拿，为以色列人预备了一位伟大的领袖撒母耳。无论如何，都不可以将祷/告祈求视作与God利益交换的方法。要谨记，我们的祷/告和祈求，God都会垂听，愿我们凭信心，喜乐地将自己的一切献上给God。

内室祷/告

愿我因自己能蒙God使用、蒙God赐福而喜乐，并成为欣然将自己的一切献上给God的人。
