梦游圣经66本书

📅 日期：2026 年 1 月 21 日
📖 经文：列王纪下 17:15

“他们厌弃耶和华的律例，和他与他们列祖所立的约，并他所警戒他们的话，随从虚无的神，自己成为虚妄；效法周围的外邦人，就是耶和华嘱咐他们不可效法的。”

⸻

🌿 灵修

列王纪下，是一卷关于方向的书。

表面上，我们看到的是：
• 王朝的兴衰更替
• 战争的起落成败
• 一个国家的毁灭

但在属灵的层面，神一再指出一个更深的问题：

他们不是失败在能力，
而是失败在方向。

他们不是走不动，
而是越走越远离神。

最终，北国以色列和南国犹大都被掳到外邦。
但他们失败的方式，却并不完全一样。

以色列失败，是因为从来没有回头。
犹大失败，是因为有时回头，却没有留下。

道路不同，
结局却同样令人心痛。

⸻

🏃‍♂️ 一、在“忙碌的宗教活动”中逃离神（北国以色列）

许多北国以色列的王，都被这样评价：

“他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，不离开耶罗波安的罪。”

从第一个王到最后一个王，他们从来没有改变方向。

他们有：
• 宗教体系
• 祭坛和敬拜场所
• 人为设立的祭司制度
• 也有神差来的先知

外表看起来很热闹，很属灵。
但他们的心，却一直在逃离神。

他们没有停下脚步，
只是一直走在错误的方向上。

他们奔向：
• 偶像，而不是神
• 人的方法，而不是信靠神
• 自己的安全感，而不是安息在神里面

一步一步，
他们离神的同在越来越远。

以色列不是因为不信神而失败，
而是因为从来没有回到神面前。

⸻

🏃‍♂️ 二、另一种悲剧：回头，却没有留下（南国犹大）

南国犹大的故事要复杂得多。

他们有圣殿，
有正统的敬拜，
也有好王和真实复兴的时刻——
例如希西家和约西亚的时代。

但每一次回转之后，他们又慢慢地再一次走偏。

他们回头了，
却没有留下来。

最终，即使在约西亚大改革之后，审判仍然来到。

在 列王纪下 25 章，耶路撒冷被攻破时：

“王和一切兵丁夜间逃跑……”（王下 25:4）

西底家王在跑。

但他跑的是：
• 离开神的旨意
• 离开悔改的机会
• 离开唯一的出路

结果是：
• 他被捉拿
• 眼睛被剜
• 被掳到巴比伦

一种只在危机中回到神面前，
却不肯长期与神同行的人生，
结局仍然是属灵的瞎眼。

⸻

🏃‍♂️ 三、向神奔跑的人

列王纪下也给我们另一幅安静却有力量的画面：

📖 书念妇人（列王纪下 4 章）

当她的儿子死了，她：
• 没有逃避
• 没有抱怨
• 而是立刻奔向神的仆人

她说：“平安无事。”

她不是否认痛苦，
她是在痛苦中选择方向。

在痛苦的时候，
人最需要的不是答案，
而是来到神面前。

⸻

🪞 四、今天，我在往哪里跑？

在这个阶段，也许你不能像从前那样“奔跑”：
• 身体有限制
• 计划被打断
• 生活节奏被放慢

但神可能正温柔地问你：

“你一直都在跑，
但你是向我跑，
还是离我跑？”

有时候神允许我们停下来，
不是因为我们真的走不动了，
而是因为：

我们在错误的方向上走得太久了。

⸻

✨ 今日的提醒

跑得快，不等于走得对。

向神奔跑，也许慢，
但一定不会错。

⸻

🙏 祷告

主啊，
你知道这段时间我走得不快，
你也知道我心里有许多不安和不确定。

今天我不求你让我跑得更快，
我只求你：

调整我的方向。

若我在任何地方曾经逃离你，
求你温柔地把我的心带回来。

我要向你奔跑，
不是为了答案，
而是为了你自己。

奉主耶稣的名，阿们。

🏃‍♂️ Are You Running Toward God, or Running Away from Him?

📅 Date: 21 January 2026
📖 Scripture: 2 Kings 17:15

“They rejected the LORD’s decrees and the covenant He had made with their ancestors and the statutes He had warned them to keep. They followed worthless idols and themselves became worthless. They imitated the nations around them, although the LORD had ordered them, ‘Do not do as they do.’”

⸻

🌿 Devotional

The book of 2 Kings is a book about direction.

On the surface, what we see is:
• The rise and fall of dynasties
• The ups and downs of wars
• The destruction of a nation

But on a spiritual level, God repeatedly points out a deeper issue:

They did not fail because of lack of ability,
but because of wrong direction.

They did not stop walking,
they simply walked farther and farther away from God.

In the end, both the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah were taken into exile.
But they did not fail in exactly the same way.

Israel failed because it never turned back.
Judah failed because it sometimes turned back, but did not remain.

Different paths,
yet the same heartbreaking ending.

⸻

🏃‍♂️ 1. Running Away from God in the Midst of “Busy Religion” (Northern Kingdom: Israel)

Many kings of the northern kingdom of Israel are described with this tragic sentence:

“He did evil in the eyes of the LORD and did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam.”

From the first king to the last, they never changed direction.

They had:
• A religious system
• Altars and places of worship
• A man-made priesthood
• And even prophets sent by God

Outwardly, everything looked busy and spiritual.
But inwardly, their hearts were constantly running away from God.

They did not stop walking.
They simply kept walking in the wrong direction.

They ran:
• Toward idols instead of God
• Toward human solutions instead of trusting Him
• Toward their own sense of security instead of resting in His care

Step by step,
they ran farther and farther away from His presence.

Israel did not fail because they did not believe in God.
They failed because they never returned to God.

⸻

🏃‍♂️ 2. The Other Tragedy: Turning Back, But Not Remaining (Southern Kingdom: Judah)

The story of the southern kingdom of Judah is more complicated.

They had the temple.
They had proper worship.
They had good kings and real seasons of revival—
such as during the reigns of Hezekiah and Josiah.

But after every return, they slowly drifted away again.

They turned back,
but they did not remain.

In the end, even after Josiah’s great reform, judgment still came.

In 2 Kings 25, when Jerusalem was breached, we read:

“The king and all the soldiers fled by night…” (2 Kings 25:4)

King Zedekiah was running.

But he was running:
• Away from God’s will
• Away from the opportunity to repent
• Away from the only true way out

The result:
• He was captured
• His eyes were gouged out
• He was taken into exile in Babylon

A life that returns to God only in times of crisis,
but does not remain with Him,
still ends in spiritual blindness.

⸻

🏃‍♂️ 3. Those Who Run Toward God

2 Kings also gives us another quiet but powerful picture:

📖 The Shunammite woman (2 Kings 4)

When her son died, she:
• Did not avoid the situation
• Did not complain
• But immediately ran to the man of God

She said, “It is well.”

She was not denying the pain.
She was choosing the direction in the midst of pain.

In times of suffering,
what people need most is not answers,
but to come before God.

⸻

🪞 4. Today, Where Am I Running?

In this season, perhaps you cannot “run” like before:
• Your body has limitations
• Your plans have been interrupted
• Your pace has slowed down

But God may be gently asking you:

“You have been running all along,
but were you running toward Me,
or away from Me?”

Sometimes God allows us to stop,
not because we truly cannot walk anymore,
but because:

We have been walking in the wrong direction for far too long.

⸻

✨ Today’s Reminder

Running fast does not mean running right.

Running toward God may be slow,
but it will never be wrong.

⸻

🙏 Prayer

Lord,
You know that in this season I am not walking very fast,
and You also know there is much uneasiness and uncertainty in my heart.

Today I do not ask You to make me run faster.
I only ask You to:

Adjust my direction.

If in any area I have been running away from You,
please gently bring my heart back.

I want to run toward You,
not for answers,
but for You Yourself.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
