在低谷中存活

Oct 26, 2023

我最好逃到非利士人那里。(撒母耳记上27:1)

在低谷中,你失去了节奏,感到迟钝、茫然,并且回到那些过去和现在都不管用的旧习性当中。大卫正是如此。在带领一支临时军队逃离扫罗时,他思忖着:“终有一天,我会死在扫罗手里,我最好逃到非利士人那里。”大卫应该更明事理!在过往的危难中,他求问主耶和华,请教可靠的谋士。这次他却被内心的惧怕支配,结果叛逃到敌人的疆土。有一阵他感觉还不错。你可以酩酊大醉、欺骗配偶、迷恋色情,在短期内似乎很享受,但“有的路看似正确,最终却通向死亡。欢笑难消内心的痛苦,欢乐过后,悲伤犹在。”(箴言14:12-13)最终,甚至非利士人也拒绝大卫,说:“他不可和我们一起去打仗,免得他在战场上倒戈。”(撒母耳记上29:4)要当心,你在低落时所做的决定会带来长久的影响。遭到非利士人的拒绝,亚玛力人的袭击,大卫无家可归,无国可返。我们从大卫的身上学到:一、要寻求明智的顾问。其实这是你最不想做的事情,因为“同病”需要“相怜”的缘故。然而,“独断专行,计划失败。”(箴言15:22)事实上,“谋士众多,战无不胜。”(箴言11:14)二、停止听自己惧怕的声音,要听上帝的声音。大卫站在他生命的废墟中,“靠着他的上帝耶和华得到了力量。”(撒母耳记上30:6)你也可以。
