Feb18【每日活水】成为尊重 SHEN 超过一切的人

 

撒母耳记上 2:27~36

预言以利家遭祸
27有 SHEN 人来见以利,对他说:「耶/和/华如此说:『你祖父在埃及法老家作奴仆的时候,我不是向他们显现吗?
28以色列众支派中,我不是拣选人作我的祭司,使他烧香,在我坛上献/祭,在我面前穿以弗得,又将以色列人所献的火祭都赐给你父家吗?
29我所吩咐献在我居所的祭物,你们为何践踏?尊重你的儿子过于尊重我,将我民以色列所献美好的祭物肥己呢?』
30因此,耶/和/华-以色列的  SHEN 说:『我曾说,你和你父家必永远行在我面前;现在我却说,决不容你们这样行。因为尊重我的,我必重看他;藐视我的,他必被轻视。
31日子必到,我要折断你的膀臂和你父家的膀臂,使你家中没有一个老年人。
32   SHEN 使以色列人享福的时候,你必看见我居所的败落。在你家中必永远没有一个老年人。
33我必不从我坛前灭尽你家中的人;那未灭的必使你眼目干瘪、心中忧伤。你家中所生的人都必死在中年。
34你的两个儿子何弗尼非尼哈所遭遇的事可作你的证据:他们二人必一日同死。
35我要为自己立一个忠心的祭司;他必照我的心意而行。我要为他建立坚固的家;他必永远行在我的受膏者面前。
36你家所剩下的人都必来叩拜他,求块银子,求个饼,说:求你赐我祭司的职分,好叫我得点饼吃。』」
Prophecy Against the House of Eli
27Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal myself to your ancestor’s family when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh?
28I chose your ancestor out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in my presence. I also gave your ancestor’s family all the food offerings presented by the Israelites.
29Why do you scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?’
30“Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.
31The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age,
32and you will see distress in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, no one in your family line will ever reach old age.
33Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life.
34“ ‘And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you—they will both die on the same day.
35I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his priestly house, and they will minister before my anointed one always.
36Then everyone left in your family line will come and bow down before him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread and plead, “Appoint me to some priestly office so I can have food to eat.” ’ ”

决心与应用

5.回顾过往的生活,我有没有看重什么事情多过于看重 SHEN ?

SHEN 人 (27节): Bible 中,这个词主要用来指 SHEN 所指派的先知,是传达 SHEN 的信息的人。
我不是将······火祭都赐给你祖宗的家吗(28节): SHEN 拣选亚伦的家族来作祭司,执掌献/祭的事务,帮助以色列人献上礼物来敬/拜 SHEN ,并且,祭司按规定有权从祭物中分得固定的一份。但以利的儿子却不以祭司当得的份为满足,也不看重 SHEN 所赋予的祭司职分,亵渎敬/拜的仪式,藐视 SHEN 。
膀臂 (31节): 象征能力及力量。
求一块银子,一个饼 (36 节): 描绘乞讨的形象,指以利后裔的悲惨境地。

灵/修指南

SHEN 人来见以利,向他说明过去 SHEN 赐给以利家族的恩典是何等大,以利家族蒙 SHEN 拣选作了以色列十二支派的代表,穿着以弗得执行祭司的职分 (27~28 节),然而作为蒙 SHEN 特别拣选的家族,以利一家却轻忽了 SHEN 的恩典,最终听到了 SHEN 要审判他们的预告。 SHEN 人谴责以利,说他没有尊重 SHEN 。以利的两个儿子没有信实担当祭司的职分,却在填饱自己肚子和玷污圣所的事上非常努力 (29~30 节)。如此行的结果,就是以利家族将要遭遇患难,而审判临到的征兆,就是以利的两个儿子何弗尼和非尼哈会在同一天死亡 (31~34节)。要记得,如果我们看重其他事物超过看重 SHEN ,便是不敬畏 SHEN 了。若我们时刻铭记 SHEN 所赐的恩典,并以真实敬/拜者的身份信实持守使/命,那么我们就可以持续享受 SHEN 的恩典。
 

内室祷/告

求 SHEN 帮助我成为敬畏 SHEN 、明白 SHEN 恩典,信实持守使/命的MEN TU。
