三年讀經默想與題目 (草戊尚土) 090715


W3 2009-07-15 (王上10:1-11:22)

經文: 列王記上 11:4
所羅門年老的時候,他的妃嬪誘惑他的心去隨從別神,不效法他父親大衛誠誠實實地順服耶和華他的神。

默想:
所羅門王得到上帝所賞賜給他絕頂的聰明,卻不能保守自己在晚年時,繼續遵照上帝的旨意而行。祈求上帝幫助我,能夠到老也一樣尊主為大,以神為樂。


題目:
你對於所羅門王一生的經歷有何感想呢?

    好久沒辦法上來寫心得。非常想念大家。^_^
    所羅門的一生,真的是令人深感遺憾,標準的『晚節不保』。再多的智慧、財富、榮耀…,如果沒有謙卑愛主的心,都是枉然的。

    所羅門王最後的表現,令人嘆息!是在哪裡轉錯彎呢?(佩服聖經的記載,並沒有把所羅門神化,把他最真實的一面也記下了)

    "所羅門王在法老的女兒之外,又寵愛許多外邦女子,就是摩押女子、亞捫女子、以東女子、西頓女子、赫人女子。"11:1

    有些事情,剛開始看起來沒有那麼"錯",可是越走就越偏離正軌,被超過一千個妃嬪包圍的所羅門王,大概也沒有空去檢討吧。

    "一生隨主、到老偏離"與"自小放蕩、年老歸主",哪一樣可取呢?懇求聖靈幫助我,在我可能轉錯彎的時候,把我拉回來。也求神幫主我,身邊不要有外邦的妃嬪(不良習慣、錯誤價值觀etc)環繞。

  3. 草戊尚土 牧師和各位俱樂部的兄姐,平安:

    如果把所羅門王的一生拍成電影,應該也可以像魔戒那樣來個三部曲,首部曲是王位爭奪,從亞多尼雅自立為王到所羅門剷除異己坐上王位,二部曲是威震天下,從聖殿的興建到示巴女王的朝貢,最終曲是走向衰敗,從寵愛眾多異族的嬪妃到離棄耶和華而留下亡國的伏筆。

    我想,上帝一開始是喜悅所羅門的,所以賜給他智慧與財富,但是再怎麼聰明的人終究還是人,當擁有權力與財富時,多少會產生驕傲與自大,當年老孤單時,美色的誘惑也會把持不住自己的信仰,人要能戰勝世界實在不是一件容易的事,聰明的所羅門王也很難抗拒世界,但願主憐憫我,幫助我能感受與您同在的喜樂,而不是貪圖世上短暫的快樂。

  4. Solomon sang in Ps (127: 1): “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.” Yet, his will was so weak that his wives turned his heart after their gods.

    Only those who stand firm to the end will be saved. Our marriage, career or church service should be governed by God to the end of our day.

  5. Dear Yuze, Peng An,
    Whew!!! We could not read your posting due to the crash of your computer, not due to other more serious personal difficulties. Sweating, sweating.... BTW, computer brought lots of blessing to us, but we seemed to be hooked on computer and internet more and more... It looked like a cursing blessing....
    King Solomon's life was recorded in the Bible unabridged and unbiased. Thus we had chance to learn from his life story. Solomon was the second child of David's unlawful wife Bathesba. Yet he received God's blessing in spite of his birthing order or status. He made a very good decision during his youth to ask God for wisdom, and not for money, power, or other privileges, and God granted his prayer. He build the temple for God, and was blessed by God on temple dedication. He enjoyed good and long life, enormous fame and huge richness... Yet, in his later days, he seemed to be influenced by his concubines, so that his faith in God was contaminated by syncretism... Let's we all pray that God would protect and guide us, all the way in our lives, till the last minute of our breath...
