오늘의 묵상
우리는 종종 과거에 하나님께서 행하셨던 일들만 보고, 우리 조상들에게 보여주셨던 그 능력은 현세대의 우리는 볼 수 없을 것이라고 생각합니다. 하지만 하나님께서 새로운 세대에게 말씀하시기를, 마치 그들의 부모들에게 했던 것처럼 그들과 함께 하시며, 능력을 주시겠다고 하십니다. 따라서 우리 가운데서 일하시는 능력을 따라, 우리가 구하거나 생각하는 것 이상으로 더욱 넘치게 주실 수 있으신 분을 기대하는 것이 필요할 것입니다! (에베소서 3:20)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Too often, I fear we look at the past work of God and think we will not see the display of his power in our day as our predecessors did in their day. God used Moses' farewell address to remind a new generation of Israel that he had delivered their parents out of Egypt and now would go with them and empower them as he had their parents. We also need to expect him to do more in our day than all we can ask or even imagine by his power at work within us (Ephesians 3:20-21). We need to pray that God will do in our day what we heard he did in days gone by with our ancestors of faith (Habakkuk 3:2). And, dear believer in Jesus, we need to remember the promise of our Savior:
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father (John 14:12).
내 기도
전능하신 하나님, 능력과 힘으로 영원히 일하시는 하나님, 우리 세대의 구원받지 못한 자들을 예수님께로 부르실 때 당신의 능력을 사용해 주시옵소서. 저희를 당신의 도구로 사용하셔서 예전에도 보여주셨던 위대한 구원, 회개, 부흥의 역사를 일으켜 주시옵소서. 아버지, 구원하시고자 하는 당신의 열망과 능력을 믿습니다. 우리 세대를 구원하실때 능력으로 행하시옵소서. 예수님 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.
My Prayer...
Almighty God, who is infinitely able to work with power and might for your people, we ask that you use your power to call the unsaved to Jesus in our generation. Please use us as your tools and do mighty works of redemption and revival in our day as you have done in years gone by. Father, we believe in your power and your desire to save. We know the many ways you acted with power and grace in the past to deliver your people. Please act mightily in our day, redeem our generation, and call them back to you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
