【爱神并不尴尬】

主讲: 郑伟健同工

13/09/2023


引言：只要你不尴尬，尴尬的就是别人

一、以神的心意爱神

1. 大卫爱神的心（V1-2）

大卫非常爱慕神的同在，所以当他登基为王、国泰民安、稳定之后，他首先就想要把神将神的约柜运到耶路撒冷。透过他的诗篇，我们明白大卫是为了神寻找安息之所，所以还特别挑选三万人，带领各支派同心归向神，将约柜运到耶路撒冷。

2. 爱神要知神心（V3-5）

大卫爱神的心众人所知的，用了那么多人还用新车运约柜。但是爱神不是照自己的标准，而是按神的旨意。按着律法，约柜必须由利未人哥辖的子孙用杠抬，大卫也许不知道，但作为利未人的乌撒和亚希约应该知道，但却没有提出。

二、整合生命来爱神

1. 乌撒待神轻率-被神击打（V6-8）

乌撒兄弟从小到大都看着约柜，对约柜很熟悉。但是他触碰到约柜，触犯了当时的律法。在经文中，“错误”这个词的原文其实是“侮蔑”、“轻率”的意思，可见当时乌撒并没有以非常慎重的态度，来看待神的圣洁，所以被神击打了。

2. 俄別以东全心全意迎接神（V9-11）

人人都以乌撒的事情，害怕了神，连大卫也一样。俄别·以东都知道，但他还是欢迎约柜到他家。因着他对神同在的爱慕，耶和华赐福给俄别·以东和他的全家。

三、真心爱神不尴尬

1. 真心爱神不放弃 （V12-15）

大卫在俄别·以东看见神的祝福，他接受失败的教训，再一次迎接约柜。或许他在这期间有反省和更了解神的律法，这一次他完全按照神的旨意行了。

2. 全心赞美不尴尬 （V16-23）

大卫全新全意完全谦卑自己，脱去王服，穿着以弗得跳舞迎接神，完全不在意别人的眼光。不明白神的米甲认为这样有失庄重，所以尖酸刻薄地挖苦大卫，结果换来的是不能生育。

总结：放下面子，全心爱神。

我们很常因为自己的形象、利益、方便、自我等等原因，改变或限制我们敬拜神的方式。神看的是我们的心，不是我们的方式。让我们可以放下我们自己，热情像大卫一样敬拜神，由心而发赞美祂，用喜乐来荣耀祂！

2 Samuel 6 It's Not Awkward to Love God

Introduction: As long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

I. Loving God with the Heart of God

(1) David's Love for God's Heart (V1-2)

David loved God's presence so much that when he ascended to the throne as king and his kingdom was secure and stable, the first thing he wanted to do was to transport to Jerusalem. Through his psalms, we understand that David was looking for a resting place for God, so he also chose 30,000 men to lead all the tribes to return to God with one heart and bring the ark of God to Jerusalem.

(2) To love God needs to know the heart of God (V3-5)

David's love for God was known to all, and he used so many people to transport the ark of God in a new cart. But love for God is not according to one's own standards, but according to God's will. According to the law, the ark of God had to be carried by the sons of Kohath the Levite. David may not have known this, but Uzzah and Ahio, who were Levites, should have known this, but did not bring it up.

2. Integrating Life to Love God

(1) Uzzah treated God recklessly - struck by God (V6-8)

Brother Uzzah grew up looking at the ark of God and was familiar with it. But he touched the ark of God breaking the law of the day. In the Scriptures, the word “wrong” actually means “contempt” or “rashness”, so it is clear that Uzzah did not regard God’s holiness with a very prudent attitude. Therefore, he was struck down by God.

(2) Obed-Edom’s wholehearted welcome God (V9-11)

Everyone was afraid of God because of what happened to Uzzah, even David. Obed-Edom knew it all, but he still welcomed the ark of God to his house. Because of his love for God's presence, the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and his whole family.

3. Love God with all your heart without embarrassment

(1) Sincere love for God not giving up (V12-15)

David saw God’s blessing in Obed-Edom, and he accepted the lesson of his failure to welcome the ark of God once again. Perhaps he had reflected and understood God’s law better in the meantime, and this time he did God’s will completely.

(2) Praise without Embarrassment (V16-23)

David humbled himself completely with all his heart, stripped off his kingly garments, and danced to meet God in his ephod, totally unconcerned about what others might think. Michal, who did not understand God, thought this was undignified, so he sarcastically criticised David, and the result was that he could not have children.

Conclusion: Lay down your reputation and love God with all your heart.

We often change or limit the way we worship God because of our own image, interests, convenience, ego, and so on. God looks at our hearts, not our ways. Let us be able to put ourselves aside and passionately worship God as David did, praising Him from the heart and glorifying Him with joy!
