“The Place of Blessing”(축복의 장소)

♡ “오늘의 성경”(Today's Scripture) ♡

1. 읽을말씀 : 열왕기상 17장 2절~4절 (1 Kings 17:2~4, NIV)

“2 여호와의 말씀이 엘리야에게 임하여 이르시되
3 너는 여기서 떠나 동쪽으로 가서 요단 앞  그릿시냇가에 숨고
4 그 시냇물을 마시라 내가 까마귀들에게 명령하여 거기서 너를 먹이게 하리라”

“2 Then / the word / of the Lord / came / to Elijah :

3 “Leave here, / turn eastward / and hide /
in the Kerith Ravine, / east / of the Jordan. //

4 You will drink / from the brook, / and I have directed the ravens /
[to supply you / with food / there].”

 

2. 제목 : “The Place of Blessing”(축복의 장소)

As a child of the Most High God, your steps are ordered by Him. He has a specific place of blessing prepared for you. When you live a life of obedience to the Word of God, He promises to supply every one of your needs. Just as God directed Elijah to his place of blessing, God is directing you, too. He’s aligning the right opportunities for you and causing the right people to come along your path to help you. He’s constantly working behind the scenes. But in order to get to that place of blessing, you have to do your part to keep your heart open and stay in step with Him.

지극히 높으신 하나님의 자녀로서, 당신의 발걸음은 그분에 의해 명령됩니다. 그분은 당신을 위해 준비된 특정한 축복의 장소를 가지고 계십니다. 하나님의 말씀에 순종하는 삶을 살 때, 그분은 당신의 모든 필요를 공급해 주시겠다고 약속하십니다. 하나님께서 엘리야를 축복의 장소로 인도하셨듯이, 하나님께서는 당신도 인도하십니다. 그분은 당신을 위해 올바른 기회를 맞추고 당신을 도울 올바른 사람들이 당신의 길을 따라 오게 하십니다. 그분은 끊임없이 장면 뒤에서 일하십니다. 하지만 그 축복의 장소에 도달하기 위해서는 마음을 열고 그분과 보조를 맞추기 위해 당신의 역할을 해야 합니다.

A major key to keeping your heart in the right place is choosing peace and unity in Christ. The Bible says that when we live in unity, there He has commanded the blessing. When your heart is in the place of blessing, then the rest of your life will be in the place of blessing, too!

마음을 올바른 장소에 유지하는 가장 중요한 열쇠는 그리스도 안에서 평화와 연합을 선택하는 것입니다. 성경은 우리가 연합하여 살 때, 그분이 축복을 명령하셨다고 말합니다. 당신의 마음이 축복의 장소에 있을 때, 당신의 나머지 인생도 축복의 장소에 있을 것입니다!

3. '오늘'을 위한 '기도' (Prayer for Today)

“Father in heaven, I come to You with a grateful heart. Thank You for leading me and directing my steps. Draw me close to You so that I can live in unity with You all the days of my life in Jesus’ name, Amen. God Bless You!”
“하늘에 계신 아버지, 저는 감사하는 마음으로 당신께 나아갑니다. 저를 인도하시고 제 발걸음을 인도해 주셔서 감사합니다. 저를 당신께 가까이 이끌어 주셔서 제가 평생 당신과 하나되어 살 수 있게 해 주세요. 예수님의 이름으로 아멘. 하나님께서 당신을 축복하시길!”
