| 12月21日2026年 士師記第六章：在軟弱中經歷神的呼召與同在 核心信息：即使我們軟弱、害怕、失去信心，神仍然看見我們，呼召我們，並應許與我們同在。 士師記第六章記載以色列人因犯罪而受米甸人欺壓，百姓在困苦中向神呼求。神興起基甸，呼召他帶領以色列人脫離欺壓。這一章讓我們看見，神不但管教祂的子民，也憐憫他們；祂不只看見人的軟弱，更看見祂所要成就的工作。 一、士師記第六章的五個重點信息 1. 遠離神，會失去平安與保護（1–10節） 以色列人行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，因此神將他們交在米甸人手中七年。米甸人常常侵擾他們，搶奪農作物，使百姓生活困苦。 當百姓呼求神時，神先差遣先知提醒他們：祂曾經拯救他們，吩咐他們不可敬拜別神，但他們沒有聽從。 屬靈提醒： 有時我們只盼望神立刻解決困境，卻忽略了神也在光照我們的生命。困難可以成為我們重新省察自己、回轉歸向神的契機。 2. 神看見我們的軟弱，仍然呼召我們（11–16節） 基甸正在酒醡那裡打麥子，為了躲避米甸人。他並不是一個充滿勇氣的人，反而處在害怕和不安之中。 耶和華的使者向他顯現，說： 「大能的勇士啊，耶和華與你同在！」（士師記 6:12） 基甸認為自己的家族在瑪拿西支派中是至貧窮的，自己又是家中最微小的。但神沒有因他的自卑而放棄他，反而應許： 「我與你同在，你就必擊打米甸人，如擊打一人一樣。」（士師記 6:16） 屬靈提醒： 我們常用自己的能力、背景和過去來衡量自己，但神看重的是祂的呼召和同在。神不是等我們變得完全剛強才使用我們，而是在我們順服祂的過程中扶持我們。 3. 神接納我們的疑惑，也引導我們建立信心（17–24節） 基甸求神給他一個印證，確認向他說話的真是神。當神以奇妙的方式顯明自己時，基甸才更深認識神，並築壇稱祂為「耶和華沙龍」，意思是「耶和華賜平安」。 這裡的平安，不是環境已經完全改變，而是基甸在仍有危險的時候，開始認識到神與他同在。 屬靈提醒： 信心不一定代表我們從來沒有疑問，而是我們願意把疑惑帶到神面前，尋求祂的引導。真正的平安，首先來自與神恢復關係。 4. 要經歷神的復興，先從拆毀心中的偶像開始（25–32節） 神吩咐基甸拆毀父親為巴力所築的壇，砍下旁邊的亞舍拉木偶，並為耶和華築壇獻祭。 基甸因為害怕，就在夜間行動。雖然他仍然懼怕，但他還是按照神的吩咐去做。 屬靈提醒： 我們生命中的偶像，不一定是看得見的雕像，也可能是金錢、名聲、人的認同、自己的驕傲，或任何取代神、支配我們內心的事物。 神的更新往往從我們願意放下不討祂喜悅的事開始。即使我們只能踏出小小的一步，只要願意順服，就是信心的實踐。 5. 得勝的力量來自神的靈，不是人的能力（33–40節） 米甸人和其他東方人聚集起來，準備攻擊以色列。這時，經文記載： 「耶和華的靈降在基甸身上。」（士師記 6:34） 基甸開始召集百姓，並再次求神藉羊毛的乾濕作為印證。他的信心仍然需要被堅固，但神耐心地帶領他。 屬靈提醒： 神所託付的使命，不能單靠人的勇氣和聰明來完成。我們需要倚靠聖靈，也要在神的話語中尋求印證與引導，而不是單憑感覺或任意設定條件來決定神的旨意。 二、本章帶給我們的三個生命功課 第一，神知道我們正在經歷什麼。 也許我們正面對家庭的壓力、工作的困難、人際關係的衝突，或內心紛亂不安的時刻。基甸躲在酒醡中，神卻主動尋找他。今天，我們也可以把最真實的處境帶到神面前。 第二，不要讓恐懼成為不順服的理由。 基甸並不是完全沒有害怕，而是在害怕中仍然採取行動。信心不是從此不再恐懼，而是即使心裡還有恐懼，仍願意倚靠神，踏出祂所帶領的一步。 第三，先讓神改變我們的心，再讓神帶領我們前行。 基甸先拆毀巴力的壇，之後才面對米甸人的威脅。這提醒我們，屬靈的得勝不只是外在環境的改變，也是內心重新以神為中心。 三、值得我們思想的問題 安靜地來到神面前，可以思想以下三個問題： 我現在最害怕、最擔心的事情是什麼？我有沒有真正交託給神？ 我的生命中，有沒有什麼事物正在取代神的位置，使我失去平安？ 神今天是否正在邀請我，踏出一個順服祂的小步伐？ 不需要急著給出完美的答案。讓神的話語慢慢光照我們，求聖靈賜我們誠實、悔改與信靠的心。 四、總結：耶和華與你同在 士師記第六章提醒我們，神呼召人的根據，不是人的完全，而是神自己的同在與恩典。 基甸原本是一個躲避敵人、看自己為渺小的人，但神稱他為大能的勇士。神看見的，不只是基甸當時的軟弱，也包括祂要在基甸生命中成就的工作。 當我們感到疲倦、煩躁、心思紛亂，甚至懷疑自己是否有能力面對明天時，可以再次記住神對基甸所說的話： 「我與你同在。」（士師記 6:16） 我們不必靠自己的力量承擔一切，也不必等到所有問題都解決了才尋求平安。讓我們先回到神面前，重新仰望祂，求祂賜下安靜的心、清楚的方向，以及願意順服的信心。 五、結束禱告 親愛的天父，我們感謝讚美祢。 感謝祢藉著士師記第六章向我們說話，讓我們看見，即使人在軟弱、懼怕和困苦之中，祢仍然沒有離棄祢的子民。祢看見基甸躲在酒醡裡，也看見我們心中那些不為人知的憂慮、掙扎和眼淚。 主啊，求祢憐憫我們。當我們的心煩躁不安、思緒紛亂，不知道前面的道路該怎麼走時，求聖靈親自安慰我們，使我們的心慢慢安靜下來，重新聽見祢的聲音。求祢挪去我們裡面的恐懼、自卑、憂慮和不必要的重擔，幫助我們將所不能掌握的事情交託在祢的手中。 主啊，求祢赦免我們一切得罪祢的地方，也求祢光照我們的生命，使我們看見心中那些取代祢位置的事物。求祢賜我們悔改的勇氣，幫助我們拆毀心中的偶像，除去不討祢喜悅的思想和習慣，使我們重新尊祢為大，單單敬拜祢、倚靠祢。 親愛的主耶穌，求祢特別看顧每一位正在經歷困難的弟兄姊妹。求祢安慰受傷的人，扶持疲倦的人，供應缺乏的人，堅固灰心的人，也求祢賜智慧給正在面對重要抉擇的人。對於那些表面看來平靜、內心卻充滿憂傷和壓力的弟兄姊妹，求祢親自成為他們的避難所和力量。 求祢保守我們的家庭，使家中有愛、有包容、有饒恕，也有從祢而來的平安。求祢帶領我們的教會，使眾弟兄姊妹在真道上同心合意，彼此扶持，互相代禱。當我們面對這個世界的紛亂、衝突和不確定時，求祢保守我們的信心，不讓環境奪去我們對祢的盼望。 天父，求祢幫助我們學習基甸的功課：不是因為自己有多剛強才敢向前走，而是因為知道祢與我們同在。當祢呼召我們踏出下一步時，求祢賜我們順服的心；當我們仍然害怕時，求祢堅固我們；當我們看不見出路時，求祢提醒我們，祢的智慧高過我們的智慧，祢的道路高過我們的道路。 願祢的平安充滿我們的心，使我們在忙亂中仍能仰望祢，在困境中仍能讚美祢，在軟弱中仍然經歷祢的恩典。 求主使我們每一天都能更深地認識祢、信靠祢，並成為祢手中合用的器皿，將祢的愛與福音帶給身邊的人。 感謝祢從不離棄我們，感謝祢的恩典夠我們用，感謝祢在我們還看不見答案的時候，仍然掌管一切。 願一切榮耀、尊貴、頌讚都歸給我們的天父上帝。 我們如此感恩、仰望和禱告，乃是奉主耶穌基督得勝的聖名祈求。 阿們。 Judges Chapter 6: God Calls Us in Our Weakness and Promises to Be With Us Key message: Even when we feel weak, afraid, or discouraged, God sees us, calls us, and promises to be with us. Judges 6 tells the story of the Israelites suffering under the oppression of the Midianites because they had turned away from God. In their distress, they cried out to the Lord. God raised up Gideon to deliver His people from their oppression. Through this chapter, we learn that God not only disciplines His people but also shows them mercy. He sees our weaknesses and fears, yet He can still call us to accomplish His purposes. 1. Five Key Messages from Judges Chapter 6 1. Turning Away from God Can Rob Us of Peace (Verses 1–10) The Israelites did evil in the sight of the Lord, and He allowed the Midianites to oppress them for seven years. The Midianites repeatedly destroyed their crops and took their food, leaving the Israelites impoverished and afraid. When the people cried out to God, He sent a prophet to remind them of His past deliverance and their failure to obey Him. Spiritual lesson: Sometimes we ask God to remove our difficulties immediately, but we also need to allow Him to examine our hearts. Difficult seasons can become opportunities to repent, return to God, and renew our relationship with Him. 2. God Sees Our Weakness and Still Calls Us (Verses 11–16) Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites. He was not acting like a mighty warrior; he was trying to survive in a time of fear and uncertainty. Yet the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said: “The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.” — Judges 6:12 (KJV) Gideon felt insignificant. His family was the weakest in Manasseh, and he considered himself the least in his father’s house. Nevertheless, God promised him: “Surely I will be with thee.” — Judges 6:16 (KJV) Spiritual lesson: We often measure ourselves by our abilities, background, and past failures. God, however, looks beyond our limitations. He does not wait for us to become perfectly strong before calling us. He strengthens us as we learn to trust and obey Him. 3. God Leads Us Toward Faith and Gives Us His Peace (Verses 17–24) Gideon asked God for a sign to confirm that He was truly speaking to him. God revealed His power in a miraculous way, and Gideon built an altar to the Lord, calling it The LORD Is Peace (Jehovah Shalom). Gideon had not yet defeated the Midianites, and the danger had not disappeared. Nevertheless, he began to understand that God’s presence was greater than his fear. Spiritual lesson: Faith does not mean we never have questions. We can bring our doubts honestly before God and seek His guidance. True peace begins with knowing God and trusting His presence, even before our circumstances change. 4. Spiritual Renewal Begins by Removing the Idols in Our Hearts (Verses 25–32) God commanded Gideon to tear down his father’s altar to Baal, cut down the Asherah pole beside it, and build an altar to the Lord. Gideon was afraid, so he carried out God’s instructions at night. Although he was still fearful, he obeyed. Spiritual lesson: The idols in our lives are not always statues. They can be money, status, people’s approval, pride, or anything that takes God’s rightful place in our hearts. True spiritual renewal begins when we are willing to remove what displeases God. Even a small step of obedience can be an important expression of faith. 5. Victory Comes Through God’s Spirit, Not Our Own Strength (Verses 33–40) The Midianites and other eastern peoples gathered to fight against Israel. At this critical moment, Scripture tells us: “But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon.” — Judges 6:34 (KJV) Gideon then called the people together. He also asked God for confirmation through the fleece, showing that his faith still needed strengthening. God patiently guided Gideon as he prepared for the task ahead. Spiritual lesson: We cannot fulfill God’s calling through human strength alone. We need the Holy Spirit and the wisdom of God’s Word. Rather than relying only on feelings or signs, we should seek God’s guidance through Scripture, prayer, godly wisdom, and a heart willing to obey. 2. Three Life Lessons for Us Today Lesson 1: God Knows What We Are Going Through Perhaps we are facing family pressures, difficulties at work, broken relationships, financial worries, or inner turmoil. Just as God saw Gideon hiding in the winepress, He sees our struggles and understands the burdens we carry. We can bring our honest feelings before Him. Lesson 2: Do Not Let Fear Keep You from Obeying God Gideon did not begin with perfect courage. He was afraid, yet he still took action. Faith does not mean that fear disappears completely. Faith means choosing to trust God and taking the next step He places before us, even when we feel afraid. Lesson 3: Let God Transform Your Heart Before You Move Forward Before Gideon confronted the Midianites, he was instructed to tear down the altar of Baal. This reminds us that spiritual victory involves more than changing our external circumstances. It also means allowing God to transform our hearts and restore Him to His rightful place in our lives. 3. Questions for Personal Reflection Take a quiet moment before the Lord and consider these questions: What am I most afraid of or worried about right now? Have I truly surrendered it to God? Is there anything in my life that has taken God’s place and disturbed my peace? Is God inviting me to take one small step of faith and obedience today? You do not need to have all the answers immediately. Allow God’s Word to speak to your heart, and ask the Holy Spirit to give you honesty, repentance, and deeper trust. 4. Conclusion: The Lord Is With You The central message of Judges 6 is that God’s calling is not based on our perfection but on His presence, grace, and power. Gideon saw himself as weak, insignificant, and afraid. Yet God called him a mighty warrior. God saw not only Gideon’s present weakness but also what He would accomplish through him. When we feel exhausted, restless, overwhelmed, or uncertain about tomorrow, let us remember God’s promise to Gideon: “Surely I will be with thee.” — Judges 6:16 (KJV) We do not have to carry every burden in our own strength. We do not need to wait until every problem is solved before we experience God’s peace. Let us return to the Lord, fix our eyes on Him, and ask Him to give us a peaceful heart, clear direction, and a willing spirit. 5. Closing Prayer Heavenly Father, We come before You with thankful and humble hearts. Thank You for speaking to us through Judges Chapter 6 and reminding us that even when we are weak, afraid, and struggling, You never abandon Your people. You saw Gideon hiding in the winepress, and You also see the worries, struggles, and tears that we carry deep within our hearts. Lord, have mercy on us. When our hearts are restless, our minds are troubled, and we do not know which way to go, may Your Holy Spirit comfort us and gently quiet our hearts so that we may hear Your voice again. Please remove our fear, insecurity, anxiety, and unnecessary burdens. Teach us to surrender to You the things we cannot control and to trust that our lives are in Your loving hands. Father, forgive us for the ways we have sinned against You. Search our hearts and reveal anything that has taken Your rightful place in our lives. Give us the courage to repent, tear down the idols in our hearts, and turn away from thoughts and habits that do not please You. Help us to put You first, worship You sincerely, and depend on You each day. Dear Lord Jesus, we especially pray for every brother and sister in Christ who is going through a difficult season. Comfort those who are hurting, strengthen those who are weary, provide for those who are in need, and encourage those who have become discouraged. Grant wisdom to those facing difficult decisions. For those who appear calm on the outside but are carrying deep sadness and pressure within, please draw near to them. Be their refuge, their strength, and their source of peace. Lord, protect our families. Fill our homes with love, patience, forgiveness, and understanding. Strengthen our churches and unite our brothers and sisters in Christ in truth and love. Help us support one another, pray for one another, and walk together in faith. When we face the confusion, conflict, and uncertainty of this world, guard our hearts and keep us from losing hope. Help us remember that our hope is not in the circumstances around us but in You, our unchanging and faithful God. Father, teach us the lesson You taught Gideon. We do not need to move forward because we are strong in ourselves. We can move forward because You are with us. When You call us to take the next step, give us a willing and obedient heart. When we are afraid, strengthen us. When we cannot see the way ahead, remind us that Your wisdom is greater than ours and Your ways are higher than our ways. May Your peace fill our hearts. Help us to look to You in times of confusion, praise You in times of difficulty, and experience Your grace in times of weakness. Make us useful vessels in Your hands. Help us grow in our knowledge of You, deepen our trust in You, and share Your love and the good news of Jesus Christ with those around us. Thank You, Father, because You never forsake us. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient for us. Thank You that even when we cannot yet see the answers, You remain sovereign and faithful. May all glory, honor, and praise belong to You alone. We offer this prayer with thanksgiving and trust, in the precious and victorious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen. |
