“He Lifts You Up.” (그분은 당신은 들어올리신다)

♡ “오늘의 성경”(Today's Scripture) ♡

1. 읽을말씀 : 시편 40편 1절~3절 (Psalm 40:1~3, NLT)

“1 내가 여호와를 기다리고 기다렸더니 귀를 기울이사
나의 부르짖음을 들으셨도다

2 나를 기가 막힐 웅덩이와 수렁에서 끌어올리시고
내 발을 반석 위에 두사 내 걸음을 견고하게 하셨도다

3 새 노래 곧 우리 하나님께 올릴 찬송을 내 입에
두셨으니 많은 사람이 보고 두려워하여 여호와를
의지하리로다”

“1 I waited patiently / for the Lord / [to help me],
     / and he turned / to me / and heard my cry.

2 He lifted me / out of the pit / of despair,
   / out of the mud and the mire. //
He set my feet / on solid ground /
   and steadied me / [as I walked along].

3 He has given me / a new song / [to sing], /
 a hymn / of praise / to our God. // Many will see
/ [what he has done / and be amazed]. //
   They will put their trust / in theLord.”

 

2. 제목 : “He Lifts You Up.” (그분은 당신은 들어올리신다)

Have you ever felt like you were in a pit of despair? Just like God lifted David out, God is going to lift you out. Where you are right now is not where you’re going to stay. There are brighter days up ahead for you filled with favor, promotion and increase. As you walk uprightly before Him, no good thing will He withhold from you.

절망의 구렁텅이에 빠진 것 같은 느낌을 받은 적이 있나요? 하나님께서 다윗을 들어 올리신 것처럼, 하나님께서 여러분도 들어 올리실 것입니다. 지금 당신이 있는 곳은 당신이 머물 곳이 아니다. 당신 앞에는 호의, 승진, 증가로 가득 찬 더 밝은 날이 있습니다. 당신이 그분 앞에서 정직하게 행할 때, 그분께서는 당신에게 좋은 것을 아끼지 않으실 것입니다.


Notice that God gives us a new song, but we have to do our part to sing that song. That means you don’t go around talking about your problems, how bad things are, or how you’re never going to make it. No, you have a song of victory! If somebody asks you how you’re doing, your attitude should be, “I’m too blessed to be stressed! I’m moving forward in strength and power.” Remember, praise precedes the victory, and the Bible tells us that God is enthroned on our praises. As you magnify and lift Him up, He will lift you up out of your despair. He’ll set your feet on solid ground, and you’ll move forward in joy and victory in every area of your life.

하나님께서 우리에게 새 노래를 주셨지만 우리는 그 노래를 부르기 위해 우리의 몫을 다해야 한다는 점에 주목하십시오. 즉, 자신의 문제, 상황이 얼마나 나쁜지, 자신이 결코 성공하지 못할지에 대해 이야기하지 않는다는 의미입니다. 아니, 당신에게는 승리의 노래가 있습니다! 누군가가 당신에게 어떻게 지내냐고 묻는다면, 당신의 태도는 “스트레스를 받을 만큼 축복받았어요! 나는 힘과 힘으로 앞으로 나아가고 있습니다.” 승리보다 찬양이 먼저이며, 성경은 하나님께서 우리의 찬양 위에 좌정하신다는 사실을 기억하십시오. 당신이 그분을 찬양하고 높이면 그분은 당신을 절망에서 일으키실 것입니다. 그분은 당신의 발을 견고한 땅 위에 세우실 것이며, 당신은 삶의 모든 영역에서 기쁨과 승리를 누리며 앞으로 나아갈 것입니다.
