오늘의 묵상
게으름은 태도의 문제가 아니라 행동이 부족한 것입니다. 중요한 문제들을 외면하는 선택을 하는 것입니다. 이런 선택의 결과가 항상 뚜렷하지 않을 수 있지만, 시간이 지나면 부식, 파괴의 누적된 징후들이 나타나다가 결국 게으름의 근본적인 결과를 보여주게 됩니다.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Laziness is not just an attitude; it is a lack of action. It is a choice to let important matters suffer and neglect what is necessary. The results of this choice of laziness over action may not always be immediately evident. However, with time, the accumulating signs of decay make the results of idleness very clear. This is doubly true spiritually. I wonder how many people have remained lost because God's people were lazy about reaching out to the lost and broken. I wonder how many great Kingdom projects never happened because we chose not to make the effort to see them through to completion. Laziness isn’t just an attitude of neglect but also a choice not to act!
내 기도
사랑하는 하늘 아버지, 진실되고 선하고 의로운 일을 행하려는 열정을 제 안에 불러 일으켜 주십시오. 중요한 것을 외면하려 할 때에 죄책감을 주시옵소서. 게으름과 진정한 안식간의 차이점을 분간할 수 있도록 도와주시고, 많은 책임들 사이에서 제 삶의 균형을 맞출 수 있도록 도와주소서. 예수님 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘
My Prayer...
Stir in me, dear Heavenly Father, a passion to do what is true, good, and righteous. Please help me as I seek to do those good things now while I have the conviction and the moment in time to do them. Convict my heart, dear God, that when I neglect what is important, I neglect your work in my world. At the same time, dear Father, please help me discern the difference between laziness and my genuine need for rest as I try to balance my life between my many responsibilities. I ask for your guidance, O Lord, to honor you with my life, work, rest, and diligence. Amen.
