“Fix Your Mind.” (당신의 마음을 고정시키세요)

♡ “오늘의 성경”(Today's Scripture) ♡

1. 읽을말씀 : 빌립보서 4장 8절(Philippians 4:8, NIV)

“끝으로 형제들아 무엇에든지 참되며 무엇에든지 경건하며 무엇에든지 옳으며 무엇에든지 정결하며 무엇에든지 사랑 받을 만하며 무엇에든지 칭찬 받을 만하며 무슨 덕이 있든지 무슨 기림이 있든지
이것들을 생각하라”

“Finally, / brothers and sisters, / [[whatever is true], / [whatever is noble], / [whatever is right], / [whatever is pure], /
[whatever is lovely], / [whatever is admirable]] — [if anything is excellent or praiseworthy] — think / about such things.”

 

2. 제목 : “Fix Your Mind.” (당신의 마음을 고정시키세요)

What you think about the most determines the quality and direction of your life. Naturally, people who think positive, uplifting thoughts have happier, healthier, longer lives. They are less stressed, more vibrant and enjoy better sleep. That’s why the Scripture encourages us to think on good things —things that are true, noble and lovely. Some translations say to “fix your mind” on them. When you fix your mind on noble things, you close the door to the negative voices and open your heart to allow God to work in your life.

가장 많이 생각하는 것이 당신의 삶의 질과 방향을 결정합니다. 당연히 긍정적이고 고양되는 생각을 하는 사람들은 더 행복하고 건강하며 오래 산다. 그들은 스트레스를 덜 받고, 더 활기차고, 더 나은 수면을 취한다. 그래서 성경은 우리에게 좋은 것, 즉 진실하고 고상하고 사랑스러운 것에 대해 생각하라고 격려한다. 어떤 번역에서는 "마음을 고정하라"고 말한다. 고상한 것에 마음을 고정하면 부정적인 목소리에 문을 닫고 마음을 열어 하나님께서 당신의 삶에서 일하실 수 있도록 한다.

Choose today to fix your mind on good things. Do whatever you need to in order to keep those good thoughts before you. Write them on note cards and put them in a place where you can see them. Confess God’s promises over your life and declare His blessing on a daily basis. As you fix your mind on the goodness of God, you will be filled with His peace and victory, and see every dream and desire in your heart come to pass.

오늘 좋은 것에 마음을 고정하기로 선택하라. 그 좋은 생각을 계속 간직하기 위해 필요한 모든 것을 하라. 메모지에 적어서 볼 수 있는 곳에 두어라. 당신의 삶에 대한 하나님의 약속을 고백하고 매일 그의 축복을 선포하라. 하나님의 선함에 마음을 고정하면 그의 평화와 승리로 충만해지고, 마음속의 모든 꿈과 소망이 이루어지는 것을 보게 될 것이다.
