【我是靠什么做决定】

主讲: 丘均发传道

18/08/2023


引言：

大卫主动选择了他的第二次逃奔非利士地之旅。这个后来被神称为合神心意的大卫，他这次的决定是否合神心意？他是靠什么做决定？

一、出于恐惧决定出逃（V1-4）

1.被自己的心思惊吓（V1）

这里我们没有看到大卫寻求神的意思，他出逃的决定完全是出于自己的思想，对自己说必有一日会死在扫罗的手上。当大卫听从自己负面的声音，他就采取了行动，逃奔非利士地投靠亚吉王。

我们要小心分辨声音的来源，有时候会是从魔鬼而来，有时候是从自己的思想而来。

2.惧怕死亡决定逃避（V2-4）

大卫因着害怕死在扫罗手里，于是倚靠自己的聪明，认为逃避就是最佳的解决办法！这时大卫完全被恐惧胜过，因而选择一劳永逸的方法，带领跟随他的人，连投奔到拜假神的非利士人的地定居。

二、逃出之后仍然恐惧（V5-7）

大卫选择不要‘与王同住京都’（V5），实际上是因为对亚吉王也不放心，还是活在恐惧之中。虽然大卫到了非利士地，环境是平安了，但心里却没有平安，没有安全感，因为他忘记了依靠神！

我们不要逃避问题，而是在问题中依靠神，相信神在我们生命中有美好的计画，会带领我们度过一切的难关，进入神丰盛的应许之地！

三、选择说谎骗取信任（V8-12）

这段经文记载大卫用似是而非的谎言应付亚吉，以骗取亚吉王的信任。大卫是侵夺了以色列的土地，可是他击杀的都是以色列的仇敌！大卫现在不错是躲避了扫罗的追杀，但却要在亚吉面前，天天说谎，活在自欺欺人的愚昧中。

我们要从大卫的失败之中学到教训。不论顺境逆境，我们不要按自己的小聪明生活，不要想借着作假和谎言来逃避危机，而是事事寻求神的带领。

总结：一生一世求问神

神的百姓如果不用神的方法做决定、解决问题，却用属世的方法行事为人时，只会带来谎言生出谎言，并生出更多的不顺从。

我们要像大卫后来在诗篇中所说的：有一件事，我曾求耶和华，我仍要寻求，就是一生一世住在耶和华的殿中，瞻仰你的荣美，在你的殿里求问！

1 Samuel 27 What do I rely on to make decisions
GK611 Morning Devotion
18/8/2023
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps. Daniel

Introduction：

David voluntarily chose his second run away to the Philistines. This David, who was later called by God to be after God’s heart, was his decision this time in line with God’s heart? What does he rely on to make decisions?

I. Deciding to flee out of fear (V1-4)

1. Frightened by own mind (V1)

Here we don’t see David’s intention of seeking God. His decision to flee is entirely out of his own thinking, saying to himself that one day he will die at the hands of Saul. When David listened to his negative voice, he acted, fleeing to King Achish in the Philistine land.

We must be careful to distinguish the source of the voice, sometimes it is from the devil, and sometimes it is from our own thoughts.

2. Fear of death and decide to avoid (V2-4)

Because David was afraid of dying at the hands of Saul, he relied on his own wisdom and thought that escape was the best solution! At this time, David was completely overcome by fear, so he chose a once-for-all method, led his followers, and even went to settle in the land of the Philistines who worshipped false gods.

II. Still afraid after escaping (V5-7)

David chose not to "live in the royal city with the king" (V5), in fact, because he was not at ease with King Achish, and he was still living in fear. Although David arrived in the Philistine land, the environment was peaceful, but he had no peace and no sense of security in his heart because he forgot to rely on God!

We should not avoid problems, but rely on God in our problems, and believe that God has a wonderful plan in our life and will lead us through all difficulties and enter the land of abundant promise!

III. Choose to lie to gain trust (V8-12)

This passage records that David used plausible lies to deal with Achish in order to deceive King Achish's trust. David invaded the land of Israel, but all he killed were the enemies of Israel! It is true that David has avoided Saul’s pursuit, but he has to lie every day in front of Achish, living in self-deception and ignorance.

We have to learn from David's failure. Regardless of good times and bad times, we should not live according to our own cleverness, and we should not try to avoid crises by cheating and lying but seek God's guidance in everything.

Conclusion: Seeking God for the rest of your life

When God's people don't make decisions and solve problems in God's way but behave in worldly ways, it will only lead to lies create lies and more disobedience.

We must be like what David said later in the psalm: One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, to behold the Your beauty, and to inquire in Your temple!
