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).

God’s test?

God’s test?

 

 

God's test for the Israelites was to gather only enough manna for each day

as God provided it like dew from heaven according to His instructions.

And on the sixth day, they were to gather twice

the amount they gathered on other days in preparation

(Exodus 16:2-5).

I think this test of God could not be passed without faith.

The reason is that from the perspective of the Israelites,

who had eaten their fill of meat and bread in Egypt,

the idea of going out every day to gather only the amount of manna

needed for that day, as God commanded, would have required

not only humility but also tremendous self-control.

And on the sixth day, they were supposed to gather twice

the amount they gathered on other days in preparation,

to honor the Sabbath as a holy day on the seventh day.

From the perspective of the Israelites,

who should have gathered double the amount on the sixth day

to honor the Sabbath on the seventh day,

they might have been tempted to gather twice

as much even on the first to fifth days.

Also, on the seventh day, they might have been tempted to go out

and gather just as they did for the previous six days.

What is the test that God has given us now?

Are we passing through this test of God with faith?
