| 11月2日2016年 士師記》第17章。這一章雖然篇幅不長，卻帶出非常重要的屬靈教訓：當人離開神的話語，按照自己的意思敬拜神，信仰就會逐漸偏離真理。 按照你的意思，以下不放圖片，單以聖經經文、解釋和禱告來分享。願神的話語安靜我們紛亂的心，使我們重新得著從祂而來的平安。 《士師記》第17章——各人任意而行 一、經文背景 《士師記》第17章的開頭有一句話： 「那時以色列中沒有王，各人任意而行。」（士師記17:6） 這句話也是理解整章的關鍵。 當時以色列人已經進入迦南地，但他們沒有持續遵行神的誡命，漸漸受到外邦風俗和偶像崇拜的影響。 他們雖然仍然使用耶和華的名，卻沒有真正按照神的心意生活和敬拜。 這提醒我們：人可以有宗教的外表，卻失去對神真實的敬畏。 二、逐段經文解釋 1. 米迦偷了母親的銀子（1－2節） 以法蓮山地有一個人，名叫米迦。 他偷了母親一千一百舍客勒銀子。後來母親咒詛偷銀子的人，米迦便承認是自己偷的，並把銀子歸還母親。 母親聽見後，沒有真正帶領兒子悔改歸向神，反而說： 「願耶和華賜福與我兒！」 屬靈教訓： 這裡讓我們看見一個很值得反省的問題： 米迦做錯了事，卻沒有看見真正的悔改。 母親口中提到耶和華，心中卻沒有按照神的旨意行事。 他們把神的名與自己的想法混在一起。 真正的信仰，不是口中常常提到神，而是願意遵行神的話。 2. 母親製造偶像（3－5節） 米迦的母親把銀子拿出來，交給銀匠製造雕刻的像和鑄成的像。 這些偶像後來放在米迦家中。 米迦甚至設立神堂，製造以弗得，又立自己的兒子作祭司。 這是非常嚴重的事情。 因為神早已吩咐以色列人不可製造偶像敬拜。 參考《出埃及記》20:3－4： 「除了我以外，你不可有別的神。不可為自己雕刻偶像……」 屬靈教訓： 米迦想按照自己的方法敬拜神。 他以為只要有神堂、有偶像、有祭司，就能得到神的祝福。 但問題是，他所做的並不是神所吩咐的。 今天我們也要反省： 我們是否有時候只希望神成就自己的心願，卻不願意順服神的帶領？ 我們是否只在困難時尋求神，平安時卻忘記神？ 真正的敬拜，是以神為中心，而不是以自己為中心。 3. 利未人來到米迦家中（7－10節） 後來，有一個年輕的利未人，從猶大的伯利恆出來，尋找可以居住的地方。 他來到米迦家中。 米迦知道他是利未人，便邀請他留下來，並提出條件： 每年給他十舍客勒銀子。 提供衣服。 供應生活所需。 請他作家中的祭司。 這裡出現另一個問題： 米迦不是尋求神所喜悅的祭司事奉，而是希望找到一個人來滿足自己宗教上的需要。 利未人也接受了這個安排。 屬靈教訓： 事奉神不應該只是為了利益、地位或生活保障。 無論是牧者、傳道人，還是每一位信徒，都應該存著敬畏神的心。 我們事奉神，不是為了自己的榮耀，而是為了榮耀神。 4. 米迦以為自己必蒙神祝福（11－13節） 米迦很高興，因為他覺得自己現在有了一位真正的利未人作祭司。 他甚至說： 「現在我知道耶和華必賜福與我，因我有一個利未人作祭司。」（17:13） 這句話很值得我們深思。 米迦以為只要有一位利未人作祭司，神就一定會賜福給他。 但是，他沒有反省自己所設立的偶像和錯誤的敬拜方式。 屬靈教訓： 人不能用外在的宗教形式代替內心對神的順服。 有聖經、有教會、有聚會、有事奉，固然重要，但更重要的是我們的心是否真正歸向神。 神所看重的，是一顆謙卑、悔改、順服祂的心。 三、士師記第17章給我們的五個重要提醒 1. 不要按照自己的意思敬拜神。 要按照聖經真理認識神，而不是把自己的想法當作神的旨意。 2. 不要只求神祝福，卻不願意順服神。 真正的祝福，是與神建立正確的關係。 3. 不要讓金錢和利益控制信仰。 事奉神應當出於愛神，而不是為了個人的好處。 4. 要警醒，不要讓偶像進入我們的心。 今天的偶像不一定是雕刻出來的像，也可能是金錢、權力、名聲，甚至是我們過度依靠的事物。 5. 要讓神的話語作我們生命的主。 士師記17:6所說的「各人任意而行」，正是當人失去神的引導時所產生的結果。 我們需要常常回到聖經，讓神的話語糾正我們、引導我們。 四、今天的信仰反省 親愛的弟兄姊妹，我們可以安靜問自己三個問題： 我所相信和追求的，是聖經中的真神，還是我自己想像中的神？ 當神的話語與我的心意不同時，我願意順服神嗎？ 我的家庭、生活和事奉，有沒有真正讓神居首位？ 不要因為看見自己的軟弱而灰心。 神讓我們讀這段經文，不是要我們失望，而是要我們醒悟，重新回到祂面前。 五、禱告——求主潔淨我們的心，帶領我們走正路 親愛的天父上帝： 我們感謝讚美祢！ 感謝祢今天藉著《士師記》第17章向我們說話，使我們看見當人離開祢的真理，按照自己的意思行事，就容易陷入混亂和偏差之中。 主啊，求祢赦免我們。 赦免我們有時候口中說相信祢，心中卻沒有真正順服祢；赦免我們有時候只求祢成就自己的心願，卻沒有耐心等候祢的時間和安排。 求聖靈光照我們，使我們看見自己生命中一切不合祢心意的地方。 主啊，求祢保守我們的心，不讓金錢、名利、驕傲、私慾和世俗的價值觀成為我們的偶像。 求祢幫助我們的家庭，讓每一個家都能以祢為主，以祢的話語為根基。 求祢保守所有基督徒，無論在教會、家庭、工作或生活中，都能持守真道，不隨從世俗，不偏離祢的道路。 主啊，當我們的心煩躁、紛亂、憂慮和疲倦時，求祢親自安慰我們。 求祢使我們安靜下來，不被外面的環境搖動，不被人的言語傷害，也不被未知的事情困擾。 求聖靈充滿我們，使我們有一顆謙卑、溫柔、忍耐和信靠的心。 求祢賜福所有正在經歷困難的弟兄姊妹，醫治受傷的心靈，扶持軟弱的人，安慰孤單的人，供應有需要的人。 求祢賜智慧給教會的牧者和傳道人，使他們忠心傳講真理，帶領群羊走在祢的正道上。 主啊，求祢幫助我們，不要像士師記中那些各人任意而行的人，乃是願意凡事尋求祢、依靠祢、順服祢。 願我們一生尊主為大，讓祢在我們生命中掌權。 感謝天父，因為祢的慈愛永不改變，祢的信實直到永遠。 我們如此禱告、祈求、仰望，乃是奉主耶穌基督得勝的聖名。 阿們！ 六、今日送給弟兄姊妹的一句經文 箴言 3:5－6 「你要專心仰賴耶和華，不可倚靠自己的聰明，在你一切所行的事上都要認定祂，祂必指引你的路。」 今日默想： 不要讓自己的心意走在神的前面。把憂慮交給主，把前面的道路交給主，安靜等候祂的帶領。 親愛的弟兄姊妹，願我們每天都學習把心交給主。 人的道路或許有許多不明白，但只要我們願意尋求神、信靠神，祂必帶領我們走當走的路。 願主耶穌基督的平安與我們眾人同在。阿們。 Judges Chapter 17 – Everyone Did What Was Right in Their Own Eyes A Bible Study, Spiritual Reflection, and Prayer Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Today, let us study Judges Chapter 17 together. This chapter teaches us an important spiritual lesson: When people turn away from God’s Word and worship Him according to their own desires, their faith gradually moves away from the truth. May the Holy Spirit calm our troubled hearts, strengthen our faith, and guide us back to God’s truth. 1. Background of Judges Chapter 17 Judges 17:6 says: “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” This verse is the key to understanding this chapter. The Israelites had entered the Promised Land, but many had gradually turned away from God’s commandments. Instead of following God’s instructions, they began following their own desires and adopting the practices of the surrounding nations. Although they still mentioned the name of the Lord, their worship no longer reflected God’s will. Spiritual lesson: We may have the appearance of religion, but what truly matters is whether our hearts are devoted to God and whether we obey His Word. 2. Explanation of the Chapter A. Micah Steals His Mother’s Silver (Verses 1–2) There was a man named Micah from the hill country of Ephraim. He had stolen 1,100 pieces of silver from his mother. When his mother pronounced a curse against the thief, Micah confessed that he was the one who had taken the money. He returned the silver to her. His mother then said: “Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son.” However, there was no clear evidence of genuine repentance or a desire to return to God’s commandments. Spiritual lessons: We must acknowledge our sins honestly. We must not simply speak religious words without living according to God’s truth. True repentance involves turning away from sin and returning to God. God desires a sincere and humble heart. B. Micah’s Mother Makes an Idol (Verses 3–5) Micah’s mother took some of the silver and gave it to a silversmith to make a carved image and a molten image. Micah then established a shrine in his house, made an ephod and household idols, and appointed one of his sons as a priest. This was against God’s commandments. Exodus 20:3–4 reminds us: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image…” Micah wanted to worship God in his own way rather than follow God’s instructions. Spiritual lessons: We must be careful not to create a religion based on our own preferences. Sometimes we want God to bless our plans, but we are unwilling to surrender our plans to Him. True worship means putting God first, not putting ourselves first. Today, idols may not always be physical statues. They can also be money, success, power, reputation, or anything that takes God’s rightful place in our hearts. C. A Levite Comes to Micah’s House (Verses 7–10) A young Levite from Bethlehem in Judah was travelling and looking for a place to stay. He eventually arrived at Micah’s house. Micah offered him a position as a household priest and promised to provide: Ten pieces of silver each year. Clothing. Food and accommodation. The Levite accepted the offer. However, Micah was seeking religious security through his own arrangements rather than seeking God’s approval. Spiritual lessons: Serving God should never be motivated primarily by money, personal status, or material benefits. Whether we are pastors, ministers, church leaders, or ordinary believers, we should serve God with sincerity and humility. Our purpose in serving Him is to glorify God, not ourselves. D. Micah Believes God Will Bless Him (Verses 11–13) Micah was pleased that he now had a Levite serving as his priest. He said: “Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.” (Judges 17:13, KJV) Micah believed that having a Levite as his priest would guarantee God’s blessing. But he failed to recognize that his worship practices were already contrary to God’s commandments. Spiritual lessons: Religious appearances cannot replace genuine obedience to God. Having a Bible, attending church, participating in worship, and serving in ministry are important. But even more important is having a heart that truly loves, fears, and obeys the Lord. God desires a humble, repentant, and faithful heart. 3. Five Important Spiritual Lessons for Us Today 1. Worship God according to His Word. We should follow the truth of Scripture rather than our own opinions and desires. 2. Do not seek God’s blessings without seeking His will. True blessings come from having a right relationship with God. 3. Do not allow money and personal interests to control our faith. We should serve God out of love and gratitude, not for personal gain. 4. Guard our hearts against idols. Anything that takes God’s place in our hearts can become an idol. 5. Let God’s Word guide our lives. We should continually return to Scripture and allow God’s Word to correct, teach, and guide us. 4. Personal Reflection Dear brothers and sisters, let us quietly ask ourselves three questions: Am I worshipping the true God revealed in Scripture, or am I following my own idea of God? When God’s Word conflicts with my personal desires, am I willing to obey Him? Do I truly allow God to be the centre of my family, my daily life, and my service? Do not become discouraged when you recognize your weaknesses. God gives us His Word not to condemn us, but to awaken our hearts and bring us back to Him. 5. Prayer – Lord, Cleanse Our Hearts and Lead Us in Your Ways Heavenly Father, We come before You with grateful and thankful hearts. Thank You for Your Word in Judges Chapter 17. Through this chapter, You remind us that when people turn away from Your truth and follow their own desires, their lives can become confused and spiritually lost. Lord, please forgive us. Forgive us when we speak about believing in You but fail to obey Your commandments. Forgive us when we seek only what we want from You instead of patiently trusting Your timing and Your plans. Holy Spirit, please search our hearts and reveal anything in our lives that is not pleasing to You. Lord, protect our hearts from the idols of this world. Do not allow money, pride, fame, selfish desires, or worldly values to take Your rightful place in our lives. Bless our families. May every home be built upon Your Word, Your love, and Your grace. Protect all Christians around the world. Whether we are in church, at home, at work, or facing difficult circumstances, help us remain faithful to Your truth. Lord Jesus, when our hearts are troubled, restless, anxious, or weary, please come and comfort us. Quiet our restless minds. Help us not to be shaken by difficult circumstances, hurtful words, or uncertainty about the future. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit. Give us humble, gentle, patient, and trusting hearts. Lord, remember all brothers and sisters who are going through difficult times. Heal those whose hearts are broken. Strengthen those who are weak. Comfort those who feel lonely. Provide for those who are struggling with their daily needs. Bless pastors, ministers, and church leaders. Give them wisdom, faithfulness, and courage to preach Your Word and lead Your people according to Your truth. Father, help us not to live like the people described in Judges, who did whatever seemed right in their own eyes. Instead, teach us to seek Your will in everything, trust You completely, and walk faithfully in Your ways. May our lives bring glory and honour to Your holy name. Thank You, Father, because Your love never changes and Your faithfulness endures forever. We place our worries, our families, our churches, and our future into Your loving hands. We pray all these things in the precious and victorious name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen. 6. Today’s Bible Verse – Proverbs 3:5–6 Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV) “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Today’s Reflection Do not allow our own desires to lead us ahead of God. Surrender your worries to Him. Trust Him with your future. Be still and wait patiently for His guidance. A Final Word of Encouragement Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Life may bring many uncertainties, difficulties, and unanswered questions. But remember: We may not understand every step of the journey, but when we trust God, seek His will, and follow His Word, He will guide our paths. May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ calm every troubled heart, strengthen every weary soul, and fill every Christian family with His love and grace. May the Lord bless us and keep us, today and always. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen. |
