2. 제목 : “The Little Foxes”(작은 여우들)

Most often, it’s not the big things that happen in life that keep us from being happy ; it’s the small things. I’ve heard it said, “Tornados and hurricanes get more news coverage; but in reality, termites do more damage.” That’s what today’s scripture is saying. Most of the time, we’re not dealing with some major crisis like losing a job, a life-threatening illness, or a relationship breaking up. The big things are rare. It’s the little inconveniences like not being able to find your car keys in the morning, or being in a hurry and getting behind a driver going 40 in a 60-mile-an-hour zone. It’s the little interruptions and frustrations that get our emotions worked up and cause us to lose our joy and peace.

대부분의 경우, 삶에서 일어나는 큰 일들이 우리를 행복하게 하지 못하게 하는 것이 아니라 작은 일들이 우리를 행복하게 하지 못하게 합니다. 저는 "토네이도와 허리케인은 뉴스에 더 많이 보도되지만 실제로는 흰개미가 더 많은 피해를 입힌다"는 말을 들어본 적이 있습니다. 오늘의 성경이 말하고 있는 바입니다. 대부분의 경우, 우리는 직장을 잃거나 생명을 위협하는 질병을 앓거나 관계가 깨지는 것과 같은 중대한 위기에 처해 있지 않습니다. 큰 일은 드뭅니다. 아침에 차 열쇠를 찾을 수 없거나 서둘러서 시속 60마일 구역에서 시속 40마일로 달리는 운전자를 따라가는 것과 같은 작은 불편함입니다. 우리의 감정을 흥분시키고 우리의 기쁨과 평화를 잃게 하는 것은 작은 방해와 좌절입니다.

The way we handle the little things will determine what kind of life we will live. When we allow negative thoughts of frustration to come in, we are allowing the little foxes to spoil the vines. Make the decision today to “catch” those foxes by choosing to think on the right things. Let His Word bring light and life to your emotions so you can move forward
in peace and joy each and every day!

우리가 작은 일을 처리하는 방식에 따라 어떤 삶을 살 것인지가 결정됩니다. 좌절에 대한 부정적인 생각이 들어오도록 허용하면 작은 여우가 포도나무를 망치게 하는 것입니다. 오늘 올바른 생각을 하기로 선택함으로써 여우들을 "잡기"로 결정하세요. 그분의 말씀이 여러분의 감정에 빛과 생명을 가져다주어 여러분이 매일 평화와 기쁨으로 나아갈 수 있도록 하세요!

3. '오늘'을 위한 '기도' (Prayer for Today)

“Father in heaven, today I submit my mind, will and emotions to You. I choose to focus on Your Word and not allow the little foxes to steal my joy and peace. Keep me close to You and guide me in the way I should go in Jesus’ name. Amen. God Bless You!”
“하늘에 계신 아버지, 오늘 저는 제 마음과 의지와 감정을 당신께 복종합니다. 저는 당신의 말씀에 집중하고 작은 여우들이 제 기쁨과 평화를 훔치지 않도록 선택했습니다. 저를 당신 가까이에 두고 제가 가야 할 길로 인도해 주세요. 예수님의 이름으로. 아멘. 신의 축복이 있기를!”
