《遇見神》Day06
《睡覺時遇見神》
1 童子撒母耳在以利面前事奉耶和華。當那些日子，耶和華的言語稀少，不常有默示。2 一日，以利睡臥在自己的地方；他眼目昏花，看不分明。3 神的燈在神耶和華殿內約櫃那裏，還沒有熄滅，撒母耳已經睡了。4 耶和華呼喚撒母耳。撒母耳說：「我在這裏！」 5 就跑到以利那裏，說：「你呼喚我？我在這裏。」以利回答說：「我沒有呼喚你，你去睡吧。」他就去睡了。 6 耶和華又呼喚撒母耳。撒母耳起來，到以利那裏，說：「你呼喚我？我在這裏。」以利回答說：「我的兒，我沒有呼喚你，你去睡吧。」 7 那時撒母耳還未認識耶和華，也未得耶和華的默示。8 耶和華第三次呼喚撒母耳。撒母耳起來，到以利那裏，說：「你又呼喚我？我在這裏。」以利才明白是耶和華呼喚童子。9 因此以利對撒母耳說：「你仍去睡吧；若再呼喚你，你就說：『耶和華啊，請說，僕人敬聽！』」撒母耳就去，仍睡在原處。10 耶和華又來站着，像前三次呼喚說：「撒母耳啊！撒母耳啊！」撒母耳回答說：「請說，僕人敬聽！」 11 耶和華對撒母耳說：「我在以色列中必行一件事，叫聽見的人都必耳鳴。12 我指着以利家所說的話，到了時候，我必始終應驗在以利身上。13 我曾告訴他必永遠降罰與他的家，因他知道兒子作孽，自招咒詛，卻不禁止他們。14 所以我向以利家起誓說：『以利家的罪孽，雖獻祭奉禮物，永不能得贖去。』」 (撒母耳記上三1-14)
主耶和華賜我受教者的舌頭，使我知道怎樣用言語扶助疲乏的人。主每早晨提醒，提醒我的耳朵，使我能聽，像受教者一樣。(以賽亞書五十4)
1 The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions. 2 One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. 3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the Lord, where the ark of God was. 4 Then the Lord called Samuel. Samuel answered, “Here I am.” 5And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” But Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down. 6 Again the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” “My son,” Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” 7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. 8 A third time the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. 9 So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.” 11 And the Lord said to Samuel: “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it tingle. 12 At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family—from beginning to end. 13 For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God, and he failed to restrain them. 14 Therefore I swore to the house of Eli, ‘The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.’ ” (1 SAMUEL 3:1-14)
The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed. (Isaiah 50:4)

分享：你有沒有經歷過在深夜睡覺時被喚醒？不是因為噩夢，也不是因為手機通知，而是一種內心難以解釋的感動 —— 好像有人在呼喚你。對撒母耳來說，他的那個夜晚，改變了他的一生。
聖經描述撒母耳遇見神的場景發生在一個屬靈沉寂的時代：「當那些日子，耶和華的言語稀少，不常有默示。」(參撒上三1) 這不是神無話可說，而是人無心聆聽。那晚，年幼的撒母耳如往常般在聖所休息，第一次聽到呼喚時，他以為是以利叫他，於是立刻起來說：「我在這裡。」連續三次都是如此。直到第三次，以利才恍然大悟，這聲音不是出自人，而是來自神。於是他教導撒母耳說：「你若再聽見，就說：『耶和華啊，請說，僕人敬聽。』」(參撒上三9)
這短短的一句話，表明一顆預備好聽見並順服的心。那一夜，神將祂對以色列的審判向撒母耳啟示，開始他作為先知的生涯 —— 不在清晨，也不在聖殿敬拜中，而是在夜裡、在寧靜、在一顆願意傾聽的心中。諷刺的是，那位教導撒母耳如何聆聽神聲音的祭司以利，雖然熟悉神的語言，卻早已習慣沉默，失去了那份敏銳與敬畏。
我們從撒母耳的經歷中學會一個極重要的屬靈原則：人若真願意聽，神就願意說；人若敏銳祂的臨在，神就更樂意臨在。以賽亞先知這樣形容聽神話語的人：「主耶和華賜我受教者的舌頭，使我知道怎樣用言語扶助疲乏的人；主每早晨喚醒我，喚醒我的耳朵，使我能聽，像受教者一樣。」 (以賽亞書五十4) 撒母耳的「聽」不是表面的聽見，而是一種渴慕神說話、願意行動的態度。
今天，我們所處的世界仍充滿喧嘩與雜音 —— 手機通知、社交媒體、資訊爆炸。我們可曾願意關掉聲音、安靜下來，說：「主啊，請說，僕人敬聽」？
也許你正在渴望神的引導，想知道未來的方向。或者你正處於一段屬靈沉寂的時期，以為神對你沉默。但這段經文提醒我們：神不是不說，而是要我們學會聽。祂不一定用雷聲閃電，而是用細小的聲音，在夜裡，在日常中，在你願意安靜的時候說話。你願意成為一個聆聽的人嗎？不是只聽見，還包括「敬聽」 —— 那是一種預備好回應的態度。神不挑選完美的人，但祂樂意向一顆柔軟、安靜、順服的心說話。
反思：今天，請你預留些時間，單單安靜在神面前。關掉手機，暫停一切聲音，對主說：「主啊，請說，僕人敬聽。」你可以默想以下問題：最近神是否曾用某些方式在對我說話？我是否太忙、太累或太嘈雜，以致錯過了祂的聲音？我有否預備好，一旦聽見，就願意回應並遵行？
禱告：親愛的天父，感謝祢仍願對人說話，即使在屬靈沉寂的年代，祢仍揀選那願意傾聽的心。主啊，我承認自己常常太忙碌，太容易被其他聲音吸引，以致忽略了祢微小的聲音。今天，我願像撒母耳一樣，單純地說：「主啊，請說，僕人敬聽。」求祢喚醒我的耳朵，讓我成為一個受教的人，也賜我勇氣去回應祢所說的每一句話。以上禱告，奉主耶穌得勝的名求，阿們。
