오늘의 묵상

소망과 기쁨과 평화! 너무 멋진 말입니다. 이런 축복들이 여러분 삶의 일부가 되려면 두가지가 필수적입니다. 첫째, 우리는 하나님을 신뢰하여서, 그분께서 우리의 필요들을 채우시며 우리가 있어야 할 곳에 우리를 데려가신다는 것을 믿어야 합니다. 둘째로, 성령님의 능력이 우리를 축복하시고 하나님의 성품들로 우리를 강하게 하실 것을 기대해야 합니다.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Hope, joy, and peace sound terrific. The problem for us as mere mortals is that we live on a flawed planet with flawed people and tendencies to go to war with each other. How are we going to find hope, joy, and peace? We for sure won't find them in the sloganeering, the sappy marketing version of hope, joy, and peace we hear from people with simplistic solutions that don't work in the real world. We need answers from someone who has lived with the grit of the real world, experienced the highs and lows that mortality brings, and yet still managed to live with hope, joy, and peace. Oh yeah, that someone is Jesus, who loved deeply, gathered people to himself openly, blessed powerfully, and could calm raging seas or endure the worst kind of torture with grace and forgiveness!
Two moves are vital for us to find this kind of hope, joy, and peace:

  • First, we must trust our Father in heaven to meet us in our mortal struggles and get us where we need to be when we need to be there — like Jesus who lived on his Father's time (Galatians 4:4-6; James 4:13-17; John 2:4, 7:6-8, 12:20-26).
  • Second, we must expect the power of the Holy Spirit to bless, guide, and empower us to be like Jesus, who lived with hope, joy, and peace (2 Corinthians 3:18; Galatians 5:22-23).

As we draw near to Jesus, the Holy Spirit will lead, guide, and fill us to overflowing with the hope, joy, and peace of God!

내 기도

위대하시고 능력이 넘치시는 하나님, 하나님께서 제 곁에 계시며 저를 돕기 원하신다는 것을 더욱 잘 믿도록 축복해 주옵소서. 사랑하는 아버지, 저를 축복하시고 힘주셔서 하나님께서 제게 원하시는 그런 사람이 될 수 있도록 도우시옵소서. 저를 아버지의 영으로 채우셔서 이 땅에서 살아갈때에 더욱 예수님을 닮은 삶을 살게 되도록 해주소서. 구세주 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.

My Prayer...

Great and Mighty God, please bless me with hope, joy, and peace from the Holy Spirit as I follow Jesus as my Savior and Lord. As I follow Jesus, please bless me with greater trust that you are nearby and with me, helping me overcome life's trials and embrace life's blessings. Dear Father, bless and empower me to be the person you want me to be. Fill me with your Spirit so I may live my life more like Jesus. In the name of the Savior, I pray. Amen.
