【神必预备】

主讲：林国晶传道

17/07/2024


引言：

从经文当中，我们看到信实的神信守与大卫的约，而且祂也亲自预备建殿所需要的一切。

一、预备材料（V2-5）

大卫预备了许多材料，包括铁、铜和香柏木。这里的‘预备’原文是大卫之约中的‘坚定’，表达了人‘与神同工’的实际：一面是人‘预备’建殿，一面是神‘坚定’国度。

二、预备建造者（V6-16）

1.相信神应许（V9-10）

大卫对儿子所罗门宣告神的应许，用了多个‘必’，表明他对神应许的信心。神对大卫的计划是使他成为争战和得胜的君王，而对所罗门的计划是使他成为平安和荣耀的君王。

2.当刚强壮胆（V11-13）

大卫提醒所罗门，建殿的事有神参与，而且得到神同在、使他亨通的关键是顺服神的话，遵行耶和华的律法典章。大卫为所罗门祷告，求神赐他聪明智慧治理国家并且鼓励所罗门要‘刚强壮胆，不要惧怕，也不要惊惶’。

3.当起来办事（V14-16）

大卫辛苦预备了金子、银子、铜铁、木材、石头和能工巧匠。他也命令所罗门“起来办事，愿耶和华与你同在”。人的行动加上神的同在，事情就必成就。

三、预备帮助者（V17-19）

大卫动员全体百姓参与建造圣殿。建造圣殿不是大卫个人的事业，是神给全体百姓的任务，需要全民配搭建造。对今天的教会建造来说也应如此，不只是依赖个别人的热心，而是每个人都应当‘寻求耶和华’，‘起来建造’。

总结：

大卫为所罗门建殿预备了材料，传达了神的旨意，鼓励他刚强壮胆，并动员全体百姓参与。这些预备和动员不仅仅是物质上的，更是属灵上的，为的是荣耀神的名，传扬祂的恩典。今天，我们也应效法大卫，忠心事奉，预备自己和下一代，为神的国度努力建造。愿我们都能像大卫一样，刚强壮胆，相信神的应许，为神做大事。


1 Chronicles Chapter 22: God will prepare
GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Stella Ling

Introduction:

From the scriptures, we see that the faithful God kept His covenant with David, and that He personally prepared everything needed for the building of the temple.

1. Preparing the materials (v2-5)

David prepared many materials, including iron, bronze and cedar wood. The original word 'prepare' here is 'firm' in the Davidic covenant, expressing the reality of man 'working with God': on the one hand, man 'prepares building the tempale, and on the other side God 'firming up' the kingdom.

2. Preparing the builder (v6-16)

(2) Believing God’s promise (v9-10)

David’s declaration of God’s promises to his son Solomon uses multiple ‘shall’s’ to show his confidence in God’s promises. God’s plan for David was to make him a king of war and victory, while His plan for Solomon was to make him a king of peace and glory.

(2) Be strong and courageous (v11-13)

David reminded Solomon that God was involved in the building of the temple and that the key to God's presence and prosperity was to obey God's Word and to follow the statutes of the Lord. David prayed for Solomon, asking God to give him wisdom to rule the nation and encouraging Solomon to 'be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed'.

(3) Arise and begin working (v14-16)

David had labouriously prepared gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, stone and skilled craftsmen. He also commanded Solomon to “arise and begin working, and the Lord be with you”. When human action is coupled with God’s presence, things will be accomplished.

3. Preparing helpers (v17-19)

David mobilised the entire people to participate in the building of the temple. The building of the temple was not David's personal career, it was a task given by God to all the people, and it required the cooperation of all the people to build it. The same should be true for church building today, not just relying on the zeal of individuals, but everyone should 'seek the Lord' and 'arise and build'.

Conclusion:

David prepared the materials for Solomon to build the temple, communicated God's will, encouraged him to be strong and courageous, and mobilised all the people to participate. These preparations and mobilisations were not only material, but also spiritual, in order to glorify God's name and spread His grace. Today, we should also follow David's example of serving faithfully, preparing ourselves and the next generation, and striving to build for the kingdom of God. May we all be like David, strong and courageous, believing in God's promises and doing great things for God.
