引言：

若每一年要提取存在银行的储蓄，却发现没有了。你会怎么做呢？
以色列民正是遇到类似的事情，但经历七年才醒觉，也仍然要等神主动拯救，百姓们才得救。基甸本来什么都不是，但是凭着顺服跟随神，最后成为拯救百姓的士师。

一、神的慈爱一直都在V1-6

1.人总是会重犯 V1

国中平安了四十年，时间再一次冲淡了百姓的记忆。以色列人又再一次行耶和华眼中看为恶的事情。我们的身上或许也同样在面对一再软弱、跌倒的经历。唯有我们认清自己的罪，恨神所憎恶的罪，定意钉死我们的老我，保守自己常在神的爱中才能远离神所憎恶的事。

2.神总是有恩典V2-5

这是神对以色列民在士师记第四次的管教。悖逆的以色列民总在一年收割之时被敌人抢夺粮食。神并没有实行最严厉的管教，还是继续降下秋雨春雨，让地有出产。可惜的是，百姓们仍然侍奉偶像巴力指望获得丰收，最后却是全被抢夺，变得极其穷乏。

我们若离弃神，追求各种偶像得到财力，最后的结果就是极其穷乏。

3.呼求看见出路V6

神不断在七年里施恩，百姓们居然等了七年，变得极其穷乏，才明白过来呼求耶和华。

二、神的劝勉叫人回转 V7-10

百姓们在之前的三次悖逆时，只要呼求耶和华，神马上拯救他们。这一次呼求的时候，神透过先知赐下话语指出百姓们的悖逆，严厉警告，再次提醒不可再拜祭假神。

当我们祷告时候，也常常只关心怎么样让我的问题得到解决，而不是听神的话语；神所关心的，却不是立刻挪去我们的难处，而是让我们在难处中懂得回转，改变自己，与祂建立更深的关系。

三、神赐于顺服者平安 V11-40

1.神视基甸为大能的勇士V11-24

百姓们听了先知的责备，却仍然不舍得离开巴力。但是神的拯救再次显明，主动呼召和兴起约阿施的儿子，基甸作为士师并称他为大能的勇士。他虽然胆怯，对以色列没盼望，而且非常自卑。但是他知道如何呼求神，而且很认真地求印证，对于当时候极其缺乏的环境来说，基甸求证据是付出代价的，他所献上的对当时候来说都是厚重的礼物。神很爱他，透过献祭显示祂的荣耀与能力，让基甸看见神同在的印证。

2.神必帮助顺服者 V25-35

神吩咐基甸拆毁父亲所筑的巴力坛，砍下坛旁的木偶，再为耶和华筑一座坛。他虽然怕父家和本城的人，但是还是顺服神执行了神所吩咐的。神的灵就降在他身上，他就吹角，召集族人。

3.印证中得神平安 V36-40

基甸向神一再求印证，他知道神或许会向他发怒。神让我们明白，领袖并非一开始都是成熟的。所以神并没有发怒，而是耐心指导基甸的，透过他所求的印证应允他。

我们是可以向神求信心，向神祈求帮助并不会被神责备，因为神悦纳我们向他呼求。我们或许有时会信心软弱，但是我们可以求神来坚固，祂必帮助我们，像帮助基甸一样，成为大能的勇士！

总结：神的恩典一直都在，愿意顺服而行的神必与他同在，处处都有平安。
人总是会犯错远离神，但是神总是在等待人的悔改。
当我们愿意行动，悔改，顺服的时候。神的平安必与我们同在。

Judges 6: The Peace of God to Those Who Obey
GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: Asher Chang + IP Moses Ou

Introduction:

Be awake!

If every year you want to withdraw your savings that are in the bank, but you find that they are gone. What would you do?
A similar thing happened to the people of Israel, but it took seven years for them to wake up, and they still had to wait for God to take the initiative to save before the people were saved. Gideon was nothing, but by following God in obedience, he eventually became the judge who saves the people.

1.God's lovingkindness is always there V1-6

(1) People will always repeat their sins V1

After forty years of peace in the kingdom, time once again washed away the people's memory. The Israelites once again did what was considered evil in the eyes of the LORD. We may also face the same experience of repeated weakness and stumble. Only if we recognise our sins, hate the sins that God hates, determine to crucify our old self, and keep ourselves always in the love of God can we keep away from the things that God hates.

(2)God is always gracious V2-5

This is the fourth time God disciplined the people of Israel in the book of judges. The rebellious people of Israel were always robbed of their grain by their enemies at the time of the annual harvest. God did not impose the severest discipline, but continued to send the autumn and spring rains to make the land productive. Unfortunately, the people continued to serve the idol, Baal, hoping for a good harvest, but in the end they were all robbed and became extremely poor. If we turn away from God and pursue all kinds of idols to get wealth, the end result will be in extreme poverty.

(3)Crying out to see a way out V6

God continued to be gracious for seven years, and the people actually waited for seven years and became extremely poor before they realised to call on the LORD.
