提要
以利沙是一位傑出的行神蹟的先知,在今天的經文中,他至少行了八件神蹟:提供一個『油井』給貧苦的寡婦,讓一個已死的孩子復活,使有毒的湯汁無害,以少量的餅餵飽一群飢餓的人,醫治一個得大痳瘋的元帥,以違反地心引力的方式找到斧頭,識透敵國君王的心思,開啟僕人的眼睛看見上帝的天使,卻不讓敵人的眼目看到同一景象!在每一個神蹟中,上帝的能力在每一個人身上動工,顯示出祂準備向屬於祂的國家做相同的大事。 |

每日與主同行
如果你戴眼鏡,那你可能對「近視」這個辭彙相當熟悉!近視,簡而言之就是焦距不對。因為眼睛不能讓光線產生精確的焦距,致使影像模糊朦朧,生理上的近視十分容易查得出來,也不難矯正。
在屬靈領域裡,有一種類似視覺的問題,我們稱之為「屬靈近視』,症狀是:在每一天的生活中,清晰的焦距一旦對準了問題、障礙和困難,就很難集中於上帝早已預備妥當迎戰各項困難的能力與保護上。屬靈的近視正如以利沙的僕人一樣,他只集中焦距於困難(王下6:15),而忽略了供應(王下6:17),所以當以利沙看見天使天軍時,他只見到亞蘭大軍。
在一張3X5的卡片上畫一隻眼睛(就像你在眼科診所裹看到的一樣),並寫上列王紀下六章十六節的經文,然後貼在鏡子上或明顯之處。讓它常常提醒你,在與上帝同行的道路上,正確的屬靈焦距是何等重要。 |

3.不信的過程--3.不信的結果
4.順服上帝的祝福--4.不順服的咒詛
5.獻殿--5.未曾獻殿 |
金言
魔鬼的頭號利器倒不是一個活躍的罪人,而是一個無所事事的基督徒。 |

4/9/2013 Elisha, God's Miracle Worker |
Scriptures: | 2 Kings 4-8 |
Heart of the Passage: | 2 Kings 4:1-7;5:1-14;6:1-7 |
Overview
Elisha. the great miracle worker of God, performs no fewer than eight miracles in the space of today's section: providing an "oil well" for a destitute widow, giving new life for a dead boy, making poisoned stew harmless, multiplying bread for a hungry crowd, curing a leprous army captain, making an ax head defy the law of gravity, reading the mind of an enemy king, opening the eyes of a servant to see the angels of God, and closing the eyes of the enemy to the same spectacle. In each case, God's power at work in the individual shows His readiness to do the same in the nation He has called His own. |

Your Daily Walk
If you wear glasses, then you're probably familiar with the term myopia. Myopia, simply defined, is improper focus. Images appear fuzzy or blurred because the eye is incapable of bringing the light to a sharp focus. Physical myopia can be detected and corrected quite easily.
But there is a similar visual problem in the spiritual realm. Let's call it "spiritual myopia." The symptoms: clear focus when it comes to identifying problems, obstacles, and difficulties in everyday life, but great difficulty in focusing on the reservoir of power and protection which God has provided to meet those problems head-on. Spiritual myopia is the condition Elisha’s servant suffered from when he focused on the problem (6:15) but not the provision (6:17). He saw only a horde of Syrians, while Elisha saw the host of angels.
On an index card, draw a small eye chart (similar to what you would find in an ophthalmologist's office) using the words of 2 Kings 6:16 and place it on your mirror or mantel. Let it remind you often of the importance of proper spiritual focus in your walk with God. |
Insight
Two Kingly Books Compared

Elijah's ministry--Elisha's ministry
God's longsuffering of sin--God's sure punishment of sin
progress of unbelief--consequences of unbelief
blessing of obedience--curse of disobedience
consecration of the temple--desecration of the temple |
Adage
The devil's number one tool is not an active sinner but an inactive Christian. |
