오늘의 묵상
의로움을 찾기가 왜 그렇게 힘든지 이제야 알겠습니다: 씨를 뿌리는 사람들이 많지 않기 때문입니다! 하늘의 지혜는 이 땅에서 희생하는 행동들로 꽉 차있습니다. 지혜라는 것은 아는 것이 아니라 뿌리는 것이라는 것을 강력하게 알려주는 말씀입니다!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Now I know why righteousness is so hard to find these days. We don't have many in our world who are full of heavenly wisdom — if that means being considerate, submitting to others' needs, living with mercy toward those who are different, bearing good fruit, treating others with impartiality, and demonstrating genuine concern for our neighbors. These traits of wisdom are hard to find in our world, probably because they are often associated with weakness. And, while many claim to love peace, so few are willing to make peace and to sow peace into the lives of others. Heavenly wisdom is full of sacrificial earthly action. That's a powerful reminder to me that wisdom is not what we know but what we sow! We don't produce "a harvest of righteousness" by spewing hate and seeking our own way at the expense of others.
내 기도
거룩하시고 지혜로우신 아버지, 순결하시고 평화를 만드시며, 사려깊으시고, 순종적이며, 자비로우시고, 선한 열매를 맺으시며, 공정하시고 진실하신 것을 예수님 안에서 실제로 행동해 보이셨으니 감사드립니다. 저도 이번주에 아버지를 따라 살기 원하며 이런 성품들을 실천할 수 있는 힘과 용기를 간구드립니다. 예수님의 이름으로 기도드립니다. 아멘.
My Prayer...
Holy and Wise Father, thank you for demonstrating purity, peace-making, impartiality, submissiveness, mercy, good fruit, and sincerity in the life of Jesus. I ask for the power and courage to demonstrate these Christlike qualities as I seek to live a more JESUShaped life. In the name of Christ Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen.
