고난은 기회입니다. (6)

"고난의 유익은 그 고난을 통하여 내가 하나님 보시기에 그릇행하였다는 것을 깨닫는 것과 하나님의 법을 배우게 된 것과 이제부터 하나님의 말씀을 지키게 된 것입니다(시 119:67, 71). 이러한 깨달음(나의 죄)과 배움(하나님의 말씀)과 지킴( 말씀 순종)이 없는 고난은 무익합니다." 1. 깨달음: 교만함(시119:69), 그릇 행함(67절), 마음의 살찜과 기름덩이(70절) [마음에 지방을 제거하라!: https://blog.naver.com/kdicaprio74/150112959844] 2. 배움: 자녀들의 위기를 통해 저는 선하신 주님께서(68절) 저를 선대하사(65절) 가르쳐주신(68절) 시편 63편 3절 말씀과 베드로전서 5장 10절 말씀을 배우게 되었습니다(71절).

The prayer place I am looking for, the prayer place that the Lord is leading me to?

The prayer place I am looking for,

the prayer place that the Lord is leading me to?

 

 

While Apostle Paul and Silas were going to a place of prayer,

they encountered a slave girl who was possessed by a fortune-telling spirit,

and in the name of Jesus Christ, they drove the demon out of her.

They were captured by her masters, taken to Roman officials, and ended up in prison.

They were imprisoned and prayed in prison (Acts 16:16-25).

Clearly, the place of prayer

that Apostles Paul and Silas were looking for was not a prison.

However, I think that Paul and Silas used the prison as a place of prayer,

guided by God, who in His sovereignty also uses

the guidance of those whom He wanted and did not want.

I think that the fact that we prayed with this in mind (v. 16)

is a lesson from God to each of us.

If we are currently trapped in the East, West, South, and North,

and the solution to the problem is clearly visible,

perhaps that prison-like situation may be the prayer place that the Lord wants for us.
