“Garment of Praise”(찬양의 옷)

♡ “오늘의 성경”(Today's Scripture) ♡

1. 읽을말씀 : 이사야 61장 3절(Isaiah 61:3, NIV)

“무릇 시온에서 슬퍼하는 자에게 화관을 주어 그 재를 대신하며 기쁨의 기름으로 그 슬픔을
대신하며 찬송의 옷으로 그 근심을 대신하시고 그들이 의의 나무 곧 여호와께서 심으신 그 영광을 나타낼 자라

일컬음을 받게 하려 하심이라”

“and provide / for those / [who grieve / in Zion]— [to bestow / on them / a crown of beauty
/ instead of ashes, / the oil of joy / instead of mourning, / and a garment of praise
/ instead of a spirit of despair]. //They will be called oaks / of righteousness,
/ a planting / of the Lord / for the display / of his splendor.”

 

2. 제목 : “Garment of Praise”(찬양의 옷)

What are you wearing today? Not on your physical body, but what’s covering your mind and emotions? Are you clothed with despair and disappointment? Are you wearing “heaviness?” If you’ve recently gone through a hurtful or disappointing situation, the Bible says there is a time to grieve. It’s important to go through that process and release the hurt to God. But the Bible also says that God wants to give you a garment of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness or despair. He wants to exchange your hurt for His healing. He wants to fill you with His peace and joy.

오늘은 무엇을 입으셨나요? 신체가 아니라 마음과 감정을 가리는 것은 무엇인가요? 절망과 실망으로 옷을 입고 계신가요? "무거움"을 입고 계신가요? 최근에 상처를 주거나 실망스러운 상황을 겪었다면, 성경은 슬퍼할 때가 있다고 말합니다. 그 과정을 거쳐서 하나님께 상처를 내어 놓는 것이 중요합니다. 하지만 성경은 하나님께서 무거움이나 절망의 영 대신 찬양의 옷을 주고 싶어하신다고도 말합니다. 그분은 당신의 상처를 그분의 치유로 바꾸고 싶어하십니다. 그분은 당신을 그분의 평화와 기쁨으로 채우고 싶어하십니다.

Are the garments of yesterday holding you back and weighing you down? Maybe it’s time to exchange that heaviness for His garment of praise. Maybe it’s time to release those heavy burdens. It’s time to forgive those who have hurt you and begin to praise your way into a new season. Start right now by thanking Him for the life you have today. Thank Him for
the opportunities today has to offer. Thank Him for the beautiful sunrise. Put on the garment of praise and release the spirit of heaviness.

어제의 옷이 당신을 억누르고 짓누르고 있나요? 어쩌면 그 무거움을 그분의 찬양의 옷으로 바꿀 때가 되었을지도 모릅니다. 어쩌면 그 무거운 짐을 내려놓을 때가 되었을지도 모릅니다. 당신을 상처입힌 사람들을 용서하고 새로운 계절로 나아가기 위해 찬양을 시작할 때가 되었을지도 모릅니다. 지금 당장 오늘의 삶에 대해 그분께 감사하는 것으로 시작하세요. 오늘이 제공하는 기회에 대해 그분께 감사하세요. 아름다운 일출에 대해 그분께 감사하세요. 찬양의 옷을 입고 무거움의 영을 풀어주세요.
