士师记第3章|Book of Judges 3

【神要兴起祂的子民】

主讲：林国晶传道

29/12/2022

引言：

神留下迦南余民，为要以色列百姓懂得敬畏神，试验百姓是否懂得遵守神的诫命; 当百姓愿意听命跟随时，他们将看到耶和华如何为他们争战，赶出他们面前的强敌。神也要兴起他们，使他们在仇敌手中被神救拔。

一、试验以色列人(v1-6)

神打算借着存留在迦南和其周围的民族，不断的强调祂大能的拯救以及外邦神的无能的教训。祂要让以色列的年轻一代明白，唯有在其父辈的神的帮助下，才能与这些人数众多而又好战的民族争战并征服他们。

二、兴起神的百姓(v5-31)

1. 兴起俄陀聂(v5-11)

当百姓回转呼求神，耶和华为他们兴起俄陀聂来拯救他们。俄陀聂能够有力量拯救以色列人脱离敌人的手，因为有神的灵降在他身上。神的灵，是我们一切力量的源头！

2. 兴起以笏(v12-30)

神可以兴起身体残缺的以笏来制伏敌人。所以，神子民身上的弱点或缺陷都不能成为服事神的拦阻。

3. 兴起珊迦(v31)

神让珊迦靠着一根赶牛的棍子，就成为以色列人的士师，拯救了以色列人。大卫说：耶和华使人得胜，不是用刀用枪，争战的胜败全在乎耶和华。当我们愿意被神使用，神必然会透过使用我们这个小人物或我们所拥有最不起眼的才能或恩赐来成就大事。

总结: 选择跟随，经历复兴

神断不会离弃与祂立约的百姓。祂要祂的百姓从恶性循环当中出来而进入蒙福的循环，就是“跟随➡️提升➡️复兴”，是一个向上的循环。

Judges 3: God Will Raise Up His People
GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: Ps Stella

Introduction：

God left the remnant people of Canaan in order to let the people of Israel know how to fear God, and to test whether the people know how to obey God’s commandments; when the people are willing to obey and follow, they will see how Jehovah fights for them and drives out the powerful enemies before them. God will also raise them up so that they will be rescued by God from the hands of their enemies.

I. Testing the Israelites (v1-6)

God intends to continue to emphasise His powerful salvation and the teachings of the impotence of foreign gods through the nations remaining in and around Canaan. He wanted the younger generation of Israel to understand that it was only with the help of the God of their fathers that they could fight and conquer these numerous and warlike peoples.

II. Raise up the people of God (v5-31)

1. Raising up Othniel (v5-11)

When the people turned and cried out to God, the Lord raised up Othniel for them to save them. Othniel was able to deliver the Israelites from the hands of their enemies because the Spirit of God was upon him. The Spirit of God is the source of all our strength!

2. Raising up Ehud (v12-30)

God could have raised up a disabled Ehud to subdue the enemy. Therefore, the weaknesses or flaws of God's people cannot be a hindrance to serving God.

3. Raising up Shamgar (v31)

God made Shamgar the judge of the Israelites by relying on a stick to drive oxen and save the Israelites. David said: Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s. When we are willing to be used by God, God will surely use unimportant people or the most insignificant talents or gifts we have to accomplish great things.

Conclusion: Choose to Follow, Experience Revival

God will never forsake His covenant people. He wants his people to come out of the vicious cycle and enter into the blessed cycle, which is to "follow ➡️ promote ➡️ revive", which is an upward cycle.
