提要
將大衛前半生和後半生做一個比較,你會驚異的發現:他終其一身都謙卑信靠上帝。雖然有輝煌的成就,卻從不以此自傲自滿,他對全國及所羅門的臨終之言,顯示出他對上帝全然忠信,仍保有當年在猶大地牧羊時的赤子之心。所羅門繼承遺志後,大衛安詳的在上帝的祝福中溘然與世長辭,「大衛年紀老邁,日子滿足,享受豐富尊榮就死了。」(29:28) |

每日與主同行
或許你想不到,在使徒行傳十三章三十六節裡,會找到有關大衛事蹟的記載:「大衛按上帝的旨意,服事了他那一世的人就睡了。」
大衛治理以色列人的四十年間,有幾件政績是不容置疑的:
1.服事人:不像許多以色列王那般自私傲慢、充滿仇恨,大衛秉公行義、仁慈治國。
2.順服上帝:討上帝喜悅,遵行上帝的旨意是大衛的每日生活信條,結果呢?
3.成全上帝對他的計劃:靠著上帝的力量,大衛完成了上帝要他完成的工作。
若沒有前兩項,就沒有第三項的結果,因為上帝的旨意要藉著順服才能完成(弗6:6),正如大衛所明白的,沒有一件事比順服上帝更喜樂了! |
默想
兩度加冕的三位君王—掃羅,大衛及所羅門
所羅門的兩次加冕(23:1;29:22)是依照掃羅模式(撒上10:1;11:15)及大衛模式(撒下2:4;5:3)而來,第二次的加冕,都是公開堅定王的心志! |
金言
上帝必使用祂所差遣的人,絕不會要他虛度光陰。 |

4/19/2013 David's Final Words and Deeds |
Scriptures: | 1 Chronicles 28-29 |
Heart of the Passage: | 1 Chronicles 29:20-30 |
Overview
Compare the opening chapters of David's life with the closing ones, and you will come to a startling conclusion: David ends his life the same way he began it—with humble confidence in God. In spite of his numerous accomplishments, David never lets greatness go to his head. Rather, his final words to Solomon and the nation reflect the same wholehearted devotion to God that characterized the young shepherd in the pasture-lands of Judea. With the dream of a temple entrusted to his son, and the tokens of God's blessings all around him, David dies "in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son [reigns] in his stead" (29:28). |

Your Daily Walk
There's an amazing epitaph inscribed over the Me of King David. But to discover it, you'll need to look in an unlikely place—Acts 13:36. There you'll read these words: "David served his own generation by the will of God,"
In the 40 years David ruled the nation of Israel, several things were true of his administration:
1. He lived to serve. Instead of the pride, revenge, and self-seeking that characterized so many of Israel's kings, David's reign was marked by mercy, justice, and humility. Further.
2. He lived to do God's will. Pleasing God was David's daily-passion; obeying God was David's greatest delight. And the result?
3. He followed God's purpose for his life. There was a job to be done in David's day and, by God's strength, David did it.
You can't have (3) without (1) and (2), for God's will for His children involves the path of service (Ephesians 6:6). But as David learned, there's no more delightful calling in life! |
Insight
Three Kings Two Times Crowned —
The double coronation of Solomon (23:1; 29:22) followed a pattern that began with Saul (1 Samuel 10:1; 11:15) and continued with David (2 Samuel 2:4; 5:3). In each case, the second coronation was a public confirmation of the first. |
Adage
Whom God sends He employs, for He sends no one to be idle. |
