Feb16【每日活水】成为认识 SHEN 的真实敬/拜者

撒母耳记上 2:12~21

以利的两个儿子

12 以利的两个儿子是恶人，不认识耶/和/华。

13这二祭司待百姓是这样的规矩：凡有人献/祭，正煮肉的时候，祭司的仆人就来，手拿三齿的叉子，

14将叉子往罐里，或鼎里，或釜里，或锅里一插，插上来的肉，祭司都取了去。凡上到示罗的以色列人，他们都是这样看待。

15又在未烧脂油以前，祭司的仆人就来对献/祭的人说：「将肉给祭司，叫他烤吧。他不要煮过的，要生的。」

16献/祭的人若说：「必须先烧脂油，然后你可以随意取肉。」仆人就说：「你立时给我，不然我便抢去。」

17如此，这二少年人的罪在耶/和/华面前甚重了，因为他们藐视耶/和/华的祭物。

撒母耳在示罗

18那时，撒母耳还是孩子，穿着细麻布的以弗得，侍立在耶/和/华面前。

19他母亲每年为他做一件小外袍，同着丈夫上来献年祭的时候带来给他。

20以利为以利加拿和他的妻祝福，说：「愿耶/和/华由这妇人再赐你后裔，代替你从耶/和/华求来的孩子。」他们就回本乡去了。

21耶/和/华眷顾哈拿，她就怀孕生了三个儿子，两个女儿。那孩子撒母耳在耶/和/华面前渐渐长大。

Eli’s Wicked Sons

12Eli’s sons were scoundrels; they had no regard for the Lord.

13Now it was the practice of the priests that, whenever any of the people offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand while the meat was being boiled

14and would plunge the fork into the pan or kettle or caldron or pot. Whatever the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.

15But even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the person who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast; he won’t accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”

16If the person said to him, “Let the fat be burned first, and then take whatever you want,” the servant would answer, “No, hand it over now; if you don’t, I’ll take it by force.”

17This sin of the young men was very great in the Lord’s sight, for they were treating the Lord’s offering with contempt.

18But Samuel was ministering before the Lord—a boy wearing a linen ephod.

19Each year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.

20Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the Lord give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed for and gave to the Lord.” Then they would go home.

21And the Lord was gracious to Hannah; she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord.

决心与应用

5.作为敬/拜者，我是以怎样的态度来到 SHEN 面前?

6.为了成为认识 SHEN 的真实敬/拜者，我决定要怎么做?

叉子······插上来的肉(14节): 指强取比祭司所应得的分量更多的祭物，是滥用祭司权力的行为。
甚至在未烧脂肪之前(15节): 烧献脂肪是献/祭的重要程序，但以利的儿子们无视 SHEN 所规定的敬/拜程序。
细麻布的以弗得（18节): 祭司主持架礼时所穿的衣服，显示撒母已参与在服事里。
小外袍 (19节): 指祭祀所穿的外袍。
在耶/和/华面前渐渐长大（21节): 意味着撒母耳不仅身体长大，灵性也在成长。

灵/修指南

大祭司以利的两个儿子也作祭司，然而他们不认识主，因此藐视用来向 SHEN 献上敬/拜的献/祭程序。不认识 SHEN 的他们，派自己的仆人用叉子往人们献/祭时盛装祭肉的容器中，插出肉来归自己所有(12~14节)。他们虽然身为祭司，却掠夺当献上给 SHEN 的祭物:并且，当人们照着律例，要在祭坛上焚烧祭物的脂肪来献给 SHEN ，这两个祭司竟派仆人威胁献/祭的人、抢夺人们的祭物(15-16节)。撒母耳则不同于以利的两个儿子，他知道 SHEN 时刻鉴察人的行为，以致他从小就穿着细麻布的以弗得，在 SHEN 面前敬虔事奉(18-21节)。虽然撒母耳和以利的两个儿子一样蒙召成为事奉 SHEN 、敬/拜 SHEN 的人，但是他们的态度和行为却截然不同。敬/拜者需要时刻在 SHEN 面前有正确的态度，这无关年龄或职分，任何人在礼拜中，都必须意识到 SHEN 的存在，才可能成为真实的敬/拜者。

内室祷/告

求 SHEN 施恩帮助我在生话中时刻意识到 SHEN ，活出真实敬/拜者的样貌。
