每日箴言

撒母耳—聆听主的话



“撒母耳回答说,请说,仆人敬听。” - 撒上 3:10

? 灵修


哈拿给她儿子起名叫撒母耳,意思是“被神垂听”。等这孩子断了奶,哈拿就带他上到示罗,献给祭司以利,要培养他做神百姓以色列人的属灵领袖。


神呼召撒母耳专心聆听,并且将主的话传给祂的百姓,神想要撒母耳奉献一生作此服事。于是撒母耳成为一位先知,他带领以色列从一个组织松散的部落群体过渡到由大卫王统治的和平王国,大卫王也正是耶稣的祖先。


如今,我们活在那位真正良善、公义之王的和平统治之下。在耶稣这位君王降生的那一晚,天使对看守羊群的牧羊人这样唱说:“在地上平安......”(路加福音 2:14)。我们降临节的平安正在于这个孩子的出生。祂长大要建立一个和平国度,遍及一切神所喜悦的人。


你认识这种平安吗?来祈求耶稣统治你的心灵和生命吧,祂会欢迎你进入这和平之国。因着耶稣的死和复活,我们可以安息在真正的平安中,因为我们知道祂是我们的君王,祂掌管着所有世事以及我们的生命。这平安是“世人不能给”的平安(约翰福音 14:27);这是神所赐的“出人意外的”平安(腓立比书 4:7)。


? 祷告


和平之君耶稣,我们听见祢呼召我们献上自己来服事祢和祢的国度。求祢帮助我们回应祢的呼召,并赐给我们平安。奉祢的名祷告,阿们。


普世佳音每日箴言

? Listening Samuel

"Samuel said, 'Speak, for your servant is listening.'" — 1 Samuel 3:10

? Devotion

Hannah had named her son Samuel, which means "heard by God." When he was weaned, she brought him to Shiloh to present him to Eli the priest for training as a spiritual leader of God's people Israel.

God called on Samuel to listen to and bring the word of the Lord to his people. God wanted Samuel to dedicate his life to this service. Samuel became a prophet, and he led Israel in that role for sixty years as Israel moved from a loosely organized group of clans to a peaceful monarchy ruled by King David, an ancestor of Jesus Christ.

We live under the peaceful reign of the one true good and just King today. "Peace on earth," the angels sang to shepherds watching their flocks on the night that King Jesus was born (Luke 2:14). Our Advent peace is found in the birth of this child, who grew up to establish the kingdom of peace over all on whom God's favor rests.

Do you know this peace? Ask Jesus to rule in your heart and life, and he will welcome you into his kingdom of peace. Because of Jesus' death and resurrection, we can rest in true peace because we know he is our King and in control of all that happens in the world and our lives. This is a peace not "as the world gives" (John 14:27); it is God's peace, "which transcends all understanding" (Philippians 4:7).

? Prayer

Prince of Peace, we hear you call us to give ourselves to your service and your kingdom. Help us to answer your call. Please give us your peace. Amen.
