撒母耳記上 16

Studie

   

1 耶和華對撒母耳:我既厭棄掃羅以色列的王,你為他悲傷要到幾時呢?你將膏盛滿了角,我差遣你往伯利恆人耶西那裡去;因為我在他眾子之內,預定一個作王的。

2 撒母耳:我怎能去呢?掃羅見,必要殺我。耶和華:你可以帶一隻牛犢去,就:我是要向耶和華獻祭。

3 你要請耶西來吃祭肉,我就指示你所當行的事。我所指給你的人,你要他。

4 撒母耳就照耶和華的話去行。到了伯利恆,那城裡的長老都戰戰兢兢地出迎接他,問他:你是為平安的麼?

5 :為平安的,我是給耶和華獻祭。你們當自潔,與我同吃祭肉。撒母耳就使耶西和他眾子自潔,請他們吃祭肉。

6 他們的時候,撒母耳見以利押,就心裡耶和華的受膏者必定在他面前。

7 耶和華卻對撒母耳:不要他的外貌和他身材高大,我不揀選他。因為,耶和華不像人人:人是外貌;耶和華內心。

8 耶西亞比拿達從撒母耳面前經過,撒母耳耶和華也不揀選他。

9 耶西又叫沙瑪從撒母耳面前經過,撒母耳耶和華也不揀選他。

10 耶西叫他個兒子都從撒母耳面前經過,撒母耳:這都不是耶和華所揀選的。

11 撒母耳對耶西:你的兒子都在這裡麼?他回答:還有個小的,現在放。撒母耳對耶西:你打發人去叫他;他若不,我們必不席。

12 耶西就打發人去叫了他。他面色光紅,雙目清秀,容貌俊美。耶和華:這就是他,你起來他。

13 撒母耳就用角裡的,在他諸兄中了他。從這日起,耶和華的靈就大大感動大衛。撒母耳起身回拉瑪去了。

14 耶和華的靈離開掃羅,有惡魔從耶和華那裡來擾亂他。

15 掃羅的臣僕對他:現在有惡魔從那裡來擾亂你。

16 我們的可以吩咐面前的臣僕,找一個善於彈琴的來,等那裡來的惡魔臨到你身上的時候,使他用彈琴,你就好了。

17 掃羅對臣僕:你們可以為我找一個善於彈琴的,到我這裡

18 其中有個少年:我曾見伯利恆耶西的兒子善於彈琴,是大有勇敢的戰士,合宜,容貌俊美,耶和華也與他同在。

19 於是掃羅差遣使者去見耶西,:請你打發你放兒子大衛到我這裡來。

20 耶西就把幾個餅和皮袋酒,並隻山羊羔,都馱在上,交給他兒子大衛,送與掃羅

21 大衛到了掃羅那裡,就侍立在掃羅面前。掃羅甚喜他,他就作了掃羅拿兵器的人。

22 掃羅差遣人去見耶西,說:求你容大衛侍立在我面前,因為他在我眼前蒙了恩。

23 那裡來的惡魔臨到掃羅身上的時候,大衛就拿琴,用而彈,掃羅便舒暢爽快,惡魔離了他。

Love correspondence

  
tiny hand my love, by Jenny Stein

To some degree, there really is no spiritual meaning to the word “love” in the Bible. Why? Because if you truly love another, that is already a spiritual state. To put it simply, the Lord is Love Itself, a perfect and infinite love that is the source of all actual life and substance in the universe. Thus everything we are and everything we experience is a product of the Lord's love; there is no way for us to have any love from ourselves that is not ultimately the Lord's love, because the Lord's love is everything. When we feel love, what we're really doing is opening ourselves to be a conduit for the Lord's love -- truly a spiritual state. This also means that the more we can align our love with the Lord's love, the stronger our experience of love will be. The Lord's love is a constant desire to be conjoined with us, to be able to love us fully while protecting our right to choose. So the more we try to love that way, the more in harmony with Him we will be and the more powerful our feelings of love will be. In a general sense, then, most uses of “love” in the Bible represent a desire for union, connection, powered, and enriched by the Lord.

In Matthew 6:24, this signifies celestial of love. (Arcana Coelestia 3875[3])

In Malachi 2:11, this signifies to conjoin oneself with falsity. (Arcana Coelestia 4434[3])
