염려는 하나님을 불신하기 때문에 찾아옵니다. 다른 말로 하면 불신 외에는 우리를 염려하게 하는 것이 없습니다. 우리 속에 있는 말씀이 생각나지 않고, 삶에 적용되지 않는 이유는 염려로 인해 하나님의 말씀이 질식되었기 때문입니다. 염려에서 벗어날 때 우리 속에 하나님의 말씀이 살아 역사하십니다.  - P167

15Moses said to the Lord, 16...

15Moses said to the Lord,

16"May the Lord, the God who gives breath to all living things, appoint someone over this community

17to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the Lord’s people will not be like sheep without a shepherd."

18So the Lord said to Moses, "Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit of leadership, and lay your hand on him.

- P122

19Have him stand before Eleazar the priest and the entire assembly and commission him in their presence.

20Give him some of your authority so the whole Israelite community will obey him.

21He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the Lord. At his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will come in."

- P123

22Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole assembly.

23Then he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the Lord instructed through Moses.

- P123

Israel is preparing to enter Canaan, but Moses’s task is coming to an end. The responsibility of leading the next generation of God’s people will belong to another. From the top of a high mountain, Moses is blessed to see the land his people will inherit. It is, for God’s servant, a time of reflection. - P124

Moses may have considered the successes and failures of the past, but he is also aware of the future. Because Moses cares deeply about the people he has led for many years, he asks God to provide a new leader for the people so that they will not be like sheep without a shepherd. - P124

Despite his failures, he looks to the future, seeking God’s blessings on His people. - P124

Joshua is God’s chosen servant to lead His people. In a public ceremony, Joshua stands before the congregation and Eleazar the priest as Moses lays his hand on him. - P124

Two aspects of leadership stand out here. First, the former leader bestows some of his authority upon the new one. Second, God’s people witness the passing of the mantle. - P124

They see Moses acknowledge that his task is complete, and the new leader is blessed to take up God-given authority. However, Joshua will not operate alone. He will have the support of Eleazar the priest who will assist him in his new role. - P124

We see an example of a godly change in leadership that is marked by humility, openness, and support. - P124

"The fruits of your life are born often in your pain and in your vulnerability and inyour losses. The fruits of your life come only after the plow has carved through yourland. God wants you to be fruitful."- Henri Nouwen - P124

Dear God, grant me the wisdom to recognize the successes and learn from the failures in my life. May I keep in step with Your Holy Spirit through every change. - P125

In every season, help me reflect Your humility and grace. In Jesus’ name, amen. - P125

[오늘의 한문장] 더바이블 욥기

욥기 전체를 이끌어 가는 중심축은 모든 행위나 현상에는 분명한 원인과 까닭이 있다고 주장하는 측(사탄, 세 친구, 그리고 엘리후)과,
모든 일에 반드시 원인과 까닭이 있는 것은 아니거나 혹은 있다 하더라도 인간은 그 원인과 까닭을 알 수 없다고 주장하는 측, 그리고 하나님) 사이의 대립이다. - P23

1) 욥은 홀로 반성적 지혜를 대변하는 반면, 친구들은 세 명이함께 규범적 지혜를 지지한다. 이것은 욥기가 쓰인 당대에 (지금도 마찬가지지만) 규범적 지혜가 훨씬 보편적인 지혜였음을 나타낸다. 성경 전체로 보아서도 ‘의인/지혜자에게는 상과 복이, 악인/무지자에게는 재앙과 징벌이‘라는 규범적 지혜의 표현이 주를 이룬다.  - P20

반면에 욥이 대변하는 반성적 지혜는 상대적으로 적게(그러나 중요도는결코 적지 않게 나타난다. 우리의 행위와 무관하게 값없이 주시는 하나님의 은혜, 우리가 잘못한 대로 우리에게 갚지 말아 달라는 탄원시들, 논밭과 외양간에 아무것도 없어도 하나님 한 분으로 기뻐할수 있다는 하박국의 신앙 등이 바로 인과응보의 원리를 초월한 진술이다. 부자와 나사로의 비유, 포도원 품꾼의 비유, 탕자의 비유 등예수님의 천국 비유들 역시 여기에 속한다. - P20

‘하나 됨‘은 하나님과 같은 ‘존재‘가 된다는 의미가...

‘하나 됨‘은 하나님과 같은 ‘존재‘가 된다는 의미가 아닙니다. 하나님의 뜻이 우리를 통해 나타나는 것입니다. 이렇게 하나님의 뜻을 완벽하게 나타내신 분이 이땅에 인간의 몸을 입고 오신 예수 그리스도입니다. 그리고 예수님께서는 우리도이와 같이 하나님과 하나가 되도록 기도하셨습니다.

 이런 일들 가운데 하나님의 목적을 발견하는 것이 중요합니다. 고난을 축복이나 저주로 만드는 것은 우리의 영적 태도에 달려 있습니다. 관건은 ‘우리가 고난 속에서도 하나님을 신뢰하며 기도할 수 있는가‘입니다.  - P166

"하나님의 목적은 우리의 기도에 응답하시는 것이 아니라 우리의기도를 통해 하나님의 마음을 분별하도록 만드시는 것입니다." 그러나 그는 하나님께서 반드시 응답하셔야만 하는 기도가 있다고 말합니다. 바로 본문 속 예수님의 기도입니다. "우리가 하나인 것같이 저희도 하나 되게 하소서 (요 17:21) 챔버스는 우리에게 지금 예수님의 기도가 이루어질 수 있도록 돕고 있느냐고 묻습니다.  - P166

하나님의 뜻을 분별하는 것이 기도의 목적이라면, 하나님은 우리의 모든 기도에 응답하실 필요가 없습니다. 기도의 목적은 기도를 통해 하나님의 뜻을 분별하고 주님과 점점 더 가까운 관계로 나아가는 것입니다.

1The daughters of Zelophehad ...

1The daughters of Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, belonged to the clans of Manasseh son of Joseph. The names of the daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah. They came forward

2and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders and the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said,

3"Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among Korah’s followers, who banded together against the Lord, but he died for his own sin and left no sons. - P118

4Why should our father’s name disappear from his clan because he had no son? Give us property among our father’s relatives."

5So Moses brought their case before the Lord,

6and the Lord said to him,

7"What Zelophehad’s daughters are saying is right. You must certainly give them property as an inheritance among their father’s relatives and give their father’s inheritance to them.

- P118

8"Say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter.

9If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers.

10If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

11If his father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess it. This is to have the force of law for the Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.’"

- P118

Preparations are underway as the Israelites ready themselves to enter Canaan. The land is to be divided among the tribes and clans of Israel, but since property is normally passed from father to son, the name of the sonless and deceased Zelophehad will be forgotten. For this reason, Zelophehad’s daughters appeal to the leaders of Israel, and Moses brings their case before the Lord. - P120

God tells Moses that the daughters are right and that they should be given property as an inheritance. - P120

We see the fruit of coming boldly before God’s throne of grace, asking expectantly and in faith. - P120

Often such requests open the door for God’s blessings to flow not only into our lives but also into the lives of others. - P120

There is a deeper truth in this story of the daughters of Zelophehad. Remember, the previous generation of Israelites died in the wilderness because of their lack of faith. - P120

The land of Canaan is yet to be conquered, but the daughters of Zelophehad, as the new generation, make a bold request about their future that leads to further rules about inheritance for those who do not have sons or any children at all. - P120

The names of Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah should be remembered because the faith of these ladies serve as an inspiration for us today. - P120

Bold faith can bring vision into reality and greater blessings to those in our community. - P120

"The remarkable thing about spiritual initiative is that the life and power comes afterwe ‘get up and get going."" - Oswald Chambers - P120

Have you ever felt intimidated to approach the Lord with one of yourneeds or desires? If you are like me, you may have erroneously thought thatyour requests do not matter in God‘s great plan or that the Lord will notchange any circumstance because of your prayers.  - P121

However, Scripture tellsus that God wants us to come to Him with our requests, and He delightsin answering the prayers of His children. Philippians 4:6 tells us, "Do notbe anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God," and Mark 11:24 states,
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you havereceived it, and it will be yours."
- P121

There are various examples in the Bible of God hearing the prayers of Hispeople and, in His great wisdom, allowing those prayers to change thesituation. We see one such example in Exodus 32. The Lord is angeredby the Israelites‘ disobedience and says He will destroy them, but Mosesintercedes, pleading for God to show mercy and compassion, and the Lorddecides to spare the Israelites.  - P121

Likewise, in Numbers 27, five daughtersapproach Moses to ask for their father‘s inheritance, and God decides togrant request, even though this is not included in inheritance law atthe time. May these examples be an encouragement to approach the Lordwith all of your needs and requests, filled with confidence and trusting that His promisestheirforyouare
"Yes" and "Amen" (2 Cor. 1:20).
- P121

Lord, I ask this day for a bold faith that is rooted in confidence in Your love. May my faith-filled vision inspire hope in others, and may I always remember to use the blessings I have been given to bless those around me. In Jesus’ name, amen. - P121

God instructs Moses to ascend to a mountain in the Abarim Range, wherehe will view the promised land before dying, as he will not enter it.  - P123

He commands Moses to appoint Joshua as his successor. Moses obeys and lays hishands on Joshua to transfer leadership in front of Eleazar the priest and the entire assembly. - P123

Being selfless is not something that comes naturally, at least for me. It isa constant struggle to think of others before myself and to put the needsof those around me before my own. My nature seems to constantly resortto selfishness. Oftentimes, without realizing it, I find myself focusing onhow others can serve me instead of how I can serve them. This is not theattitude that the Lord asks of us - P125

Philippians 2:3-4 instructs, "Do nothingout of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value othersabove yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to theinterests of the others."
We see a poignant example of this kind of selflessness in Numbers 27:12-23. Earlier in this book, the Lord informed Moses that, because of hisdisobedience, he would not be leading the people into the promised land.
Moses could have been bitter and angry about this. However, because ofhis love for the Lord, he chose instead to respond with selflessness.  - P125

Moses‘sconcern was for those under his care. He asked the Lord to appoint anotherleader for them so that they would not be like sheep without a shepherd.
This showed that Moses‘s heart was in the right place before the Lord. Hewas thinking of the well-being of others instead of his own gain.  - P125

When ourdesire is to bless others, we not only honor the Lord but also point otherstoward Him by being a representation of His selflessness, goodness, andsteadfast love - P125
