提要
士師的時代快要結束了,最後一位士師是撒母耳,一位要帶領以色列全國從士師時代進入君王時代的神人。撒母耳的童年和另一位著名的士師參孫相似,兩人都是不能生育婦人的後裔,上帝因他們的母親熱切禱告而答應;並且從一出生就獻給上帝;兩個人都生活在一個道德低落、遠離上帝的社會裡。但是當參孫一生大部份的時間用來逃避上帝對他的呼召時,撒母耳所做的正好相反,甚至於當他還是一個孩子的時候,就敏於傾聽與順從上帝的話語。 |

每日與主同行
在現代的家庭中,每一樣東西都是開關操縱的,除了孩子以外!管教──曾經被認為是標準的為父為母之道──變得越來越少;取而代之的對兒女縱容的盛行。
但那不是一件新鮮事了!在基督降生前的一千年,聖經就描繪了一個家庭衰敗和被棄的圖畫,因為父親沒有管教他的孩子。以利是上帝的祭司,竟准許兩個兒子去做在上帝眼中看為罪惡的事情。他們無恥貪婪的偷走了獻給上帝中最好的部份。上帝看在眼裡,說:「我曾告訴他必永遠降罰與他的家,因他知道兒子作孽、自招咒詛,卻不禁止他們。」(3:13)
父母們,扮演管教者的角色不僅是一個好的主張,也是上帝託付的職責(天職)。上帝在你養育孩子工作上有一套要你遵循的詳細計劃,(箴19:25,23:13、14)。讀一下,以此為教導兒女的基礎,再留心查看上帝的祝福! |

Scriptures: | 1 Samul 1-3 |
Heart of the Passage: | 1 Samul 1:1-20;3:1-21 |
Overview
The period of the judges is nearly at an end. One last judge remains: Samuel, a man of godly character and integrity who will guide the nation from judgeship to kinship. Samuel's early life parallels that of another famous judge— Samson. Both are the offspring of barren women and the answer to fervent prayer; both are consecrated to the Lord's service from birth; both enter a society marked by moral decline and spiritual apathy. But while Samson spent much of his life avoiding his calling, Samuel does just the opposite. Even as a child he is quick to hear and obey the Word of the Lord. |

Your Daily Walk
Everything in the modern home is run by a switch ... except the children! Discipline—once considered standard operating procedure for parents—is becoming rare; in its place permissiveness reigns.
But that is nothing new! A thousand years before Christ, the Bible paints a picture of the ruin and rejection of a family because the father failed to discipline his children. Eli, high priest of God, allowed his two sons to do that which was right in their own eyes. In shameless greed they stole for themselves the best parts of the sacrifices being offered to God. In response, God said He would "judge [Eli's] house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not" (3:13).
Parents, your role as a discipliner is not just a good idea; it is your God-given duty. God has a blueprint for you to follow in your child-rearing assignment (Proverbs 19:25; 23:13-14). Read about it, build upon it; and watch God bless! |
