오늘의 묵상
누구 혹은 무엇이 당신을 뒤쫒고 있나요? 과거의 실수? 오래된 원수(enemy)? 자신의 양심? 계속 괴롭히는 죄의식? 당신의 신체를 해치려는 사람? 혹은 육체의 질병인가요? 당신 삶의 모든 폭풍과 몸부림 속에서 평온함을 주는 안식처는 어디인가요? 진실되고 영원히 지속될 피난처가 되실 수 있는 분은 오직 한분, 하나님 뿐이십니다!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Who or what is pursuing you? Is it a past mistake? Is it an old enemy? Is it an addiction in your life that is dragging you down? Is it your conscience? Is it a nagging sense of guilt? Is it someone who wants to do you physical harm? Is it a physical illness? Is it a lingering sense of dread or an uncertainty about your future? We have many things that we can fear and feel — a lingering sense that these things we dread are pursuing us. So the bigger question is: Where do we go to find peace and security amid all the storms and struggles of life? There is only One who can be a true and lasting refuge. Just One: The Lord God! And this One Lord longs to deliver and save you if you take refuge in him!
내 기도
하나님 아버지, 용기를 잃고 영혼이 고달프고 힘들때에 당신은 나의 피난처이시며 힘의 원천이십니다. 사랑하는 아버지, 저를 좇아와 사로잡고 당신으로부터 멀리 떨어뜨리려는 모든 힘과 권세들을 파괴하여 주십시오. 예수님 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.
My Prayer...
Father God, you are my refuge and source of strength. This is especially true when my courage is gone, and my soul is weary. Please, dear Father, destroy all the forces and powers and enemies that pursue me and seek to take me captive and draw me away from you. In Jesus' name, I confidently pray that you are my refuge. Amen.
