짧은 말씀 묵상 (2024. 5. 31.)

짧은 말씀 묵상       하나님의 명령을 우리 조상들이 순종한 것처럼 우리와 우리 배우자와 우리 자녀들도 평생 지키되 하나도 빠짐없이 다 지키는 은혜를 사모합니다 ( 참고 : 예레미야 35:8-10, 현대인의 성경 ).   하나님께서는 하나님의 종인 목사님들을 우리에게 부지런히 보내시사 계속 말씀하고 계십니다 : ‘ 너희는 각자 악한 길에서 돌아서고 너희 행실을 고치며 하나님과 재물 ( 돈 ) 을 겸하여 섬기지 말아라 .’   그러나 우리는 하나님의 말씀에 귀를 기울이지도 않고 듣지도 않고 순종하지도 않고 있습니다 ( 참고 : 예레미야 35:14-15, 현대인의 성경 ).   만일 우리가 계속해서 하나님의 말씀을 듣지 않고 하나님께서 부르셔도 우리가 대답지 않으면 하나님께서는 이미 선언하신 재앙을 우리에게 내리실 것입니다 ( 참고 : 예레미야 35:17, 현대인의 성경 ).   하나님의 말씀을 순종하는 사람에게는 하나님께서는 그의 가정에 하나님을 섬길 후손을 영원히 끊어지지 않게 하실 것입니다 ( 참고 : 예레미야 35:19, 현대인의 성경 ).

만일 우리가 계속해서 하나님의 말씀을 듣지 않고 ...

만일 우리가 계속해서 하나님의 말씀을 듣지 않고 ... 만일 우리가 계속해서 하나님의 말씀을 듣지 않고 하나님께서 부르셔도 우리가 대답지 않으면 하나님께서는 이미 선언하신 재앙을 우리에게 내리실 것입니다 ( 참고 : 예레미야 35:17, 현대인의 성경 ).

‘너희는 각자 악한 길에서 돌아서고 너희 행실을 고치며 하나님과 재물(돈)을 겸하여 섬기지 말아라.’

‘ 너희는   각자   악한   길에서   돌아서고   너희   행실을   고치며   하나님과   재물 ( 돈 ) 을   겸하여   섬기지   말아라 .’    하나님께서는 하나님의 종인 목사님들을 우리에게 부지런히 보내시사 계속 말씀하고 계십니다 : ‘ 너희는 각자 악한 길에서 돌아서고 너희 행실을 고치며 하나님과 재물 ( 돈 ) 을 겸하여 섬기지 말아라 .’   그러나 우리는 하나님의 말씀에 귀를 기울이지도 않고 듣지도 않고 순종하지도 않고 있습니다 ( 참고 : 예레미야 35:14-15, 현대인의 성경 ).

The way God works is interesting.

The way God works is interesting. (1)   The infant Moses, who had been placed in a basket among the reeds by the banks of the Nile River, was only a few months old and had absolutely no ability to save himself. Someone had to rescue him, or else it would have been barbaric. That someone happened to be the daughter of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. When she went down to the river to bathe and saw the basket among the reeds, she heard the baby crying inside and took pity on him (Exodus 2:2-6). God saved baby Moses through the daughter of Pharaoh, who had commanded that all Hebrew baby boys be thrown into the river (1:22). While the father ordered all Hebrew baby boys to be thrown into the river, his daughter rescued just one of those boys, Moses. The way God works is interesting. The way God works is interesting. (2)   Moses' mother, who sent him away in faith, eventually ended up being paid wages by Pharaoh's daughter, the princess of Egypt, a...

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 h...

If we have these 4 assurances ...

If we have these 4 assurances ...     If we have the assurance that our God is for us (Romans 8:31), the assurance of God’s love (vv. 38-39), the assurance of God’s salvation (vv. 29-30), and the assurance of God’s victory (v. 37), then we can be more than victorious in all these things through him who loved us (v. 37).

Meetings at the well

Meetings at the well     When Moses fled to the land of Midian and sat down by a well, he encountered the seven daughters of Reuel, the priest of Midian. As a result, Moses married Reuel's daughter, Zipporah (Exodus 2:15-21). Similarly, Abraham's servant met Rebekah at a well while seeking a wife for Abraham's son, Isaac, leading to the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah (Genesis 24:11-67). Jesus also had a significant encounter at a well. While sitting by the well, He met a Samaritan woman. As a result, the woman believed in Jesus Christ and received eternal life. Additionally, many Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of her testimony (John 4:6-42). When I think about how God's amazing work often begins at a well, I'm reminded of the gospel hymn ‘Just As I Am’: (V. 1) Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidst me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. (V. 2) Just...

Is rejecting our prayers also an answer to our prayers?

Is rejecting our prayers also an answer to our prayers?     Moses was more humble than anyone else on earth (Numbers 12:3). He was a faithful servant in God's house. Therefore, when God spoke to him, He spoke directly and clearly, not in riddles. Moses even saw the form of the Lord (vv. 7-8). Yet, when Moses pleaded with God, saying, "Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan— that fine hill country and Lebanon," God responded, "That is enough!   Do not speak to me anymore about this matter" (Deuteronomy 3:25-26). This was because Moses did not trust in God and rebelled against His command at Meribah, failing to uphold God's holiness before the Israelites (Numbers 20:12, 24). Reflecting on this, I feel that when God refuses our prayers, it can also be considered an answer to our prayers. When our prayers are denied, instead of insisting on them before God, it is more beneficial to take time for self-examin...

God who has guided us

God who has guided us     The God who has guided us from the past to the present is the God who will continue to guide us until death. There is no other god than this God who guides us! (Ref.: Exodus 32:1; Psalms 48:14).
