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).

It makes me think of some lessons about family.

King Ahasuerus became so angry and could not bear it when Queen Vashti refused to come at his command.  So he asked his advisers, who were experts in the law, “What should we do in this case?  What does the law say?”  One of the advisers, Memucan, responded, "Queen Vashti has not wronged the king only, but also every noble and citizen in all the provinces of the king’s realm.  What she has done will become known to all the women, and they will look down on their husbands and say, ‘King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) commanded Queen Vashti to come, but she refused.’  Today the Persian and Median women of the royal provinces will hear about the queen's conduct, and they will despise their husbands and say such things, and the husbands will be filled with anger.  Therefore, if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree and let it be written into the laws of Persia and Media, which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to come before the king, and let the king give her royal position to someone else who is better than she.  When the king’s decree is proclaimed throughout his vast realm, all women will respect their husbands, from the least to the greatest."

 

The king and his advisers liked this idea, so he followed Memucan’s advice and issued a decree in the languages of all the peoples, commanding that every husband should rule over his household with authority (Esther 1:12-21, Korean Modern Bible).  As I reflect on this passage, I think about several lessons regarding the family:

 

  1. Wives should submit to their husbands in the Lord.
  2. Wives should not disrespect or despise their husbands.
  3. Rather, wives should honor their husbands.
  4. Every husband should govern his household with authority as the head of the family.
