2. 제목 : “Safety in Numbers” (숫자들에 있어서의 안전성)

(Written By Joel Osteen 죠엘 오스틴)

Are you facing an important decision today? God wants to give you the answer. He wants to direct your steps. Many times, He will speak to us through the people He has placed in our lives. That’s why the Bible says that safety is found in a multitude of advisors.

오늘 중요한 결정에 직면해 계신가요? 하나님께서는 당신에게 답을 주고 싶어하십니다. 하나님께서는 당신의 발걸음을 인도하고 싶어하십니다. 많은 경우, 하나님께서는 우리 삶에 두신 사람들을 통해 우리에게 말씀하실 것입니다. 그래서 성경은 많은 조언자에게서 안전을 찾을 수 있다고 말합니다.

God designed us to live in families, communities and congregations. We need to be open to receiving input from the people who are close to us. That doesn’t mean you have to follow everything everyone tells you. But if you’re in a particular situation or relationship, and all the people around you are giving you the same word of caution, it might be God trying to get a message to you. Take that advice and bring it before the Lord in prayer. Ask Him to confirm His perfect plan to your heart. Remember, wisdom comes from God, and wise counsel will always be in agreement with God’s Word. He will always confirm the answer when you ask Him.

하나님께서는 우리가 가족, 지역 사회, 회중에서 살도록 설계하셨습니다. 우리는 가까운 사람들로부터 의견을 받는 데 열려 있어야 합니다. 그렇다고 해서 모든 사람이 말하는 것을 다 따라야 한다는 것은 아닙니다. 하지만 특정한 상황이나 관계에 처해 있고, 주변 사람들이 모두 당신에게 같은 경고의 말을 한다면, 하나님께서 당신에게 메시지를 전달하려고 하시는 것일 수도 있습니다. 그 조언을 받아들여 기도로 주님께 가져오십시오. 그분께 당신의 마음에 그분의 완벽한 계획을 확인해 달라고 요청하십시오. 기억하십시오. 지혜는 하나님에게서 오고, 현명한 조언은 항상 하나님의 말씀과 일치할 것입니다. 그분은 당신이 그분께 구할 때 항상 답을 확인해 주실 것입니다.


Whatever you are facing today, be open to receiving wise counsel. As you do, you will be blessed and protected and walk in confidence down the path the Lord has prepared for you!

오늘 무슨 일이 있든, 현명한 조언을 받는 데 열려 있어야 합니다. 그렇게 하면 축복을 받고 보호받으며 주님께서 당신을 위해 준비하신 길을 확신을 가지고 걸을 것입니다!
