撒母耳记上［第18章］|Book of 1st Samuel 18【心正VS心歪】
02/08/2023
引言：不正，即是歪
一、心正的大卫
1. 得神赐予的知己（V1-4）
两位与神同在的人结盟，成为生死之交。他们都是为神的名争战、倚靠神争战。所以两人十分投缘、一见如故，从此成为了非常要好的朋友，约拿单甚至不在乎身为王子所拥有的一切，全部都与大卫分享，这是一段非常珍贵的友谊。
2. 经历提升得人心（V5）
大卫杀了巨人歌利亚，就被扫罗提升为战士长。扫罗的众臣仆和百姓都非常喜悦大卫。过去大家是看不见大卫的，但现在却都看见大卫的优秀。神提升了大卫，连众妇女都为大卫高兴。
3. 凡事都精明亨通（V13-16）
大卫与神同在，不断经历提升。众百姓也开始跟随他出入，他也越做越好、无不精明，大家的心越来越归向大卫！相反的，扫罗就一直开始失去民心。
4. 凡事得胜再得胜（V27）
无论在面对任何的难题，与神同在的大卫总是能够迎刃而解，而且比预期的更好。
5. 得着民心被尊荣（V30）
大卫存正直的心，他顺服权柄、敬畏神，神的灵就与他同在。他得着胜利、得着平安也得着民心的尊荣。
二、心歪的扫罗
1. 被妒忌蒙蔽双眼（V6-9）
看见如此被众民喜悦的大卫，扫罗的心开始扭曲，就甚发怒、怒视大卫、妒忌他。嫉妒的感觉很容易蒙蔽我们的双眼，甚至会慢慢侵蚀我们的心，对人产生敌意。
2. 被恶魔大大降身（10-11）
心歪的扫罗被恶魔大大降身，他开始失去理智起了杀人的动机。他的心中充满惧怕、充满罪孽。相反的，与神同在的大卫确在面对被刺杀时仍旧安稳。
3. 没有平安只有怕（V12）
扫罗惧怕大卫的原因，是他发现耶和华离开自己，与大卫同在。扫罗被嫉妒捆绑，心里满是惧怕失去权力、失去民心。当我们看见别人的长进时，或许心里也会面对嫉妒的引诱，但我们能做的就是诚实面对，并且求圣灵帮助我们，让神的爱充满我们。
4. 充满惧怕与仇恨（V17-26）
扫罗将大女儿米拉许给大卫，表面上是为了实现承诺，但是心中充满仇恨，一心只是想实现杀害大卫的计划。
5. 凡事惧怕再惧怕（V28-29）
心歪的生命带来惧怕，如雪球滚动一样，越滚就累计越多惧怕。我们要警醒，要与神连接、走神的路。要好像大卫一样，不害怕失去人的爱，更是敬畏神的爱。
总结：心正VS心歪
心正的人做事精明，与神同在，得着民心。
心歪的人做事糊涂，与鬼同在，遗臭万年。
1 Samuel 18 Righteous heart vs. crooked heart
GK611 Morning Devotion
2/8/2023
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Co-worker Asher Chang
Introduction：If you are not right, you are crooked
1. David with a right heart
(1) A God-given confidant (V1-4)
Two men with God allied as life and death friends. They both fought for God's name and relied on Him. Therefore, the two became very close and became very good friends. Jonathan didn't even care about all the things he had as a prince, but shared them all with David, which was a very precious friendship.
(2) Experiences that elevate people's hearts (V5)
After David killed the giant Goliath, he was promoted by Saul to the position of chief warrior. Saul's servants and the people were very happy with David. David was invisible to everyone, but now they all saw David's excellence. God promoted David, and even the women were happy for David.
(3) Smoothness and Prosperity in All Things (V13-16)
David continued to experience elevation with God. The people began to follow him in and out, and he became better and better and more and more shrewd, and the hearts of the people turned more and more to David! On the contrary, Saul kept on losing the hearts of the people.
(4) Victory in all things (V27)
No matter what problem he faced, David with God was always able to solve it, and better than expected.
(5) Honoured in the hearts of the people (V30)
David was upright, he submitted to authority and feared God, and the Spirit of God was with him. He had victory, peace, and honour in the hearts of the people.
2. Saul with a crooked heart
(1) Blinded by envy (V6-9)
Seeing David, who was so pleasing to the people, Saul’s heart began to twist, and he became very angry and envious of David. Feelings of jealousy can easily blind us, and even slowly eat away at our hearts, causing us to become hostile toward others.
(2) Greatly smitten by the devil (10-11)
Saul, who had a crooked heart, was greatly smitten by the devil, and he began to lose his mind and became motivated to kill. His heart was filled with fear and sin. On the other hand, David, who was with God, remained calm in the face of the assassination.
(3) No Peace but Fear (V12)
The reason for Saul's fear of David was that he realised that the LORD had left him and was with David. Saul was bound by jealousy and his heart was filled with fear of losing his power and the hearts of the people. We too may face the temptation of jealousy in our hearts when we see the progress of others, but all we can do is to face it honestly and ask the Holy Spirit to help us to let God's love fill us.
(4) Filled with Fear and Hatred (V17-26)
Saul promised his eldest daughter Merab to David, ostensibly to fulfill his promise, but his heart was full of hatred, and he only wanted to fulfill his plan to kill David.
(5) Fear and Fear Again in All Things (V28-29)
A crooked hearted life brings fear, like a snowball rolling, the more it rolls the more fear it accumulates. We need to be alert to connect with God and walk in His ways. Be like David, not afraid of losing the love of man, but more in awe of the love of God.
Conclusion: Righteous heart vs. crooked heart
A man with a right heart does things wisely, is with God, and wins the hearts of the people.
Those with crooked hearts are confused, with demons, and will be stigmatized for years to come.
