오늘의 묵상
영광을 드리는 것, 영광을 돌려드리는 것은 하기 쉬운 일이 아닙니다. 이것을 인정합시다. 우리는 하나님께 무엇을 부탁하는데는 익숙하지만, 하나님을 찬양하거나 영광을 돌리는 것은 어려워합니다. 그러니 이번 주가 지나가기 전에 감사와 찬양의 기도를 드리고, 하나님의 거룩하신 이름에 영광을 돌립시다.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Giving glory, ascribing the glory God is due, is not easy for us with our mortal limitations and self-focused ambitions. Let's admit it: We are self-focused and limited compared to God's glorious limitlessness! We're much more accustomed to asking for things for ourselves from God that we think we need than we are focused on praising and thanking God while inviting others to join us in adoring him. Let's use the rest of this week to pray with thanksgiving and praise, glorifying God's holy name while not asking for things for ourselves. Let's try it together! We can choose a day this week and spend an hour praising, adoring, reverencing, and thanking God for who he is, what he has done, and his promises to us. We won't ask for anything from God during this time. We want this hour to focus on God and what He has done, ascribing to him the glory due him while worshiping him in the splendor of his holiness!
내 기도
하늘 아버지, 당신은 제 표현과 이해를 뛰어넘을만큼 놀라우시며 위대하신 분이십니다. 예수님을 보내셔서 당신의 영광을 조금이나마 볼 수 있게 도와주셔서 감사합니다. 저와 제가 사랑하는 사람들을 붙잡아 주시니 감사합니다. 예수님 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.
My Prayer...
Father, we praise you. You are marvelous and magnificent beyond the power of my earthbound words to describe and praise. Despite my human limitations, you have loved me as I am and are transforming with increasing likeness to be like your Son.* Thank you for sending him to help me glimpse your glory and anticipate seeing you face to face in eternal glory. Thank you for living inside me through your Holy Spirit and doing your work in me. I praise you for sustaining me and those I love with your grace. I thank you, dear Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.
* 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.
