【突破困境的生命】

主讲:丘均发传道

04/07/2023


引言：你会如何突破困境？

一、困境之中 坚持祷告(V1-10)

哈拿虽得丈夫的宠爱，但她很痛苦，因为她不能生育一再被另一个妻妾嘲笑激动。但是在困境中哭泣的哈拿坚持祷告（V10）！其实，哈拿是没有问题的，是耶和华不使她生育(V5)。毗尼拿与以利加拿只看到哈拿表面的处境，却不知神正在实行祂的计划！

我们要顾念那些在迫切祷告，但尚未蒙神应允的人。他们需要我们的爱心与帮助；并扶持在祷告上缺乏信心的人，帮助他们坚定信心，使他们确信：到了神所定的时间，神必成就自己的计划！

二、到神面前 倾心吐意 (V11-16)

哈拿知道她的出路就是向神祷告，所以她的不住地向神倾心吐意，毫无保留地倾诉。正因为这样，哈拿不再哭泣，明白自己是中计被激动发怒，并接纳自己的愁苦境况。

祷告改变了哈拿面对困境的态度，今天我们的祷告能否帮助我们面对处理自己的情绪、接纳自己的限制？唯有看清自己的问题所在，才能正面处理困境带来的危机！

三、平平安安 交托一切 (V17-20)

哈拿倾心吐意地在神面前祷告之后，领受了祭司以利的祝福，就平平安安地回去吃饭，面上再不带愁容了。当哈拿懂得平安地交托一切，就不再愁所没有，而珍惜所拥有的。并明白能够怀孕生子是她从神求来的！所以，哈拿为儿子取名字‘撒母耳’是‘神听见’的意思！

一个人能够因着神放开自己的执着，平安地交托一切，方能顺服神对自己生命的最好安排，带着喜乐盼望的心情面对眼前的困境。

四、蒙神应允 还愿于神（V21-28）

哈拿蒙神应允了所祈求的，使她生了个儿子。于是哈拿等儿子断了奶，就把孩子带上示罗，到耶和华的殿，使孩子终身归于神。

很多人得到了神的祝福就忘记了神。但哈拿是积极回应神，在神面前还了她所许的愿，将孩子献给神。

总结：

哈拿的经历重点不是她最后生了儿子，而是‘神听见’了！哈拿虽然敬畏神，但同样会遭遇人生困境，但是神不单听见了哈拿的祷告，更帮助她用正确的态度面对，使她能够活出突破困境的生命！

今天神同样听见了我们的祷告！要帮助我们活出突破困境的生命！

1 Samuel 1 Life that break throughs difficulties
GK611 Morning Devotion

Introduction：How will you break through the difficulties?

1. Persevere in prayer in times of difficulty (V1-10)

Although Hannah was favoured by her husband, she was in great pain because she was repeatedly ridiculed by another concubine because of her infertility. But Hannah, weeping in distress, kept on praying (V10)! In fact, there was nothing wrong with Hannah, it was the Lord who had closed her womb (V5). Peninnah and Elkanah only saw Hannah's superficial situation, but they didn't know that God was carrying out His plan!

We need to think about those who are praying desperately, but God has not yet answered them. They need our love and help; and support those who lack confidence in prayer, help them strengthen their faith, and make them firmly believe that when the time set by God comes, God will fulfil His plan!

2. Pour out your heart before God (V11-16)

Hannah knew that her way out was to pray to God, so she kept pouring out her heart to God without reservation. Because of this, Hannah stopped crying, realised that she had been tricked into anger, and accepted her distressed situation.

Prayer changed Hannah’s attitude towards difficulties. Can our prayers today help us face our limitations in dealing with our emotions and accepting ourselves? Only when you see your own problems clearly, then you can deal with the crisis directly!

3. Entrusts Everything in Peace (V17-20)

After pouring out her heart and praying before God, Hannah received the blessing from the priest Eli, and went back to eat in peace, without any sorrow on her face. When Hannah knows how to entrust everything in peace, she no longer worries about what she doesn’t have, but cherishes what she has. And understand that being able to conceive and have children is what she asked from God! Therefore, Hannah named her son "Samuel" which means "God heard"!

Only when a person lets go of his stubbornness to God and entrusts everything in peace can he obey God’s best arrangement for his life and face the difficulties in front of him with joy and hope.

4. Obtaining God’s answer and fulfilling a vow to God (V21-28)

God granted what Hannah had prayed for, and she bore a son. So, Hannah waited for her son to be weaned, and then took the child to Shiloh to the house of the LORD, so that the child would belong to God for the rest of his life.

Many people forget about God after receiving God’s blessing. But Hannah responded positively to God, fulfilled her vow before God, and dedicated her child to God. Conclusion：

The point of Hannah’s experience was not that she finally gave birth to a son, but that “God heard”! Although Hannah feared God, she also encountered difficulties in life, God not only heard Hannah’s prayer, but also helped her face it with a correct attitude, enabling her to live a life that broke through the difficulties!

Today God also heard our prayers! Help us to live a life that breaks through difficulties!
