당신이 하나님 편에서 하나님의 약속을 본다면 주님의...

 당신이 하나님 편에서 하나님의 약속을 본다면 주님의 요구사항을 알게 될 것입니다. - P96

온전히 하나님위 관점에서 보기 시작할 때 하나님의 요구가 우리에게 보입니다. - P96

나의 할 일은 주님을 향한 순종을 통해 자연적인 삶을 영적인 삶으로 변화시키는 것입니다.  - P96

공생애 기간 동안 간절히 아버지의 뜻에 따라 자신을 드리기를 기도했던 예수님처럼 우리 또한삶의 최고 관심을 ‘하나님과의 관계‘에 두어야 합니다. 하나님과의 관계를 우리인생 최고의 위치에 둘 때, 나머지 사소한 것들을 버릴 수 있습니다. - P96

2 Corinthians 7:1 NLT
[1] Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God. - P96

 오직 순종만이 우리가 하나님을 인생의 최고 위치에 두었음을 명백히 증명합니다. - P96

Hebrews 11:8 NLT
[8] It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. - P97

믿음은 하나님께서 우리를 부르신 자리에서 "가라"
고 말씀하실 때, 순종하는 것입니다. 그리고 그 순종을 통해 하나님을 알아가는것입니다. 하나님을 알아가는 순종의 과정을 ‘믿음의 여정‘이라 할 수 있습니다.
- P97

"믿음의 삶에서 큰 장애 중 하나는 하나님께서 반드시 우리를 성공으로 이끄실것이라는 착각입니다." 믿음의 삶은 세상과 분리되어 하나님께로 나아가는 것입니다. 그러나 우리는 세상의 성공을 지렛대 삼아 더 높은 자리로 가려고 합니다.
성공의 자리에서 하나님을 확신하려는 신앙의 오류가 믿음의 가장 큰 장애물입니다.  - P97

하나님의 관심은 우리가 서 있는 ‘자리‘가 아니라 ‘관계‘에 있습니다.  - P97

[오늘의 한문장] 리빙라이프 Living Life 2025.3 (영문판)

20From the descendants of Reuben the firstborn son of Israel: All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, one by one, according to the records of their clans and families. - P94

44These were the men counted by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, each one representing his family.

45All the Israelites twenty years old or more who were able to serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families.

46The total number was 603,550. - P95

We are reminded that even when our individual strengths and contributions differ, together we fulfill God’s purpose. - P96

God calls His people not merely to get things done but to carry out His instructions with a spirit of devotion and diligence. - P96

When offered in obedience, our unique abilities and contributions strengthen the whole community. Whether we are many or few, our role is to serve God with all we have, bringing our best to His work. - P96

From a group of seventy of the house of Jacob who journeyed into Egypt, Israel has now become a vast, strong people. God’s faithfulness to His promises shines through even when it seems impossible to grasp how His plans will unfold. - P96

Often we only see the beginnings, the seed form of His promises, making it challenging to fully trust in the outcome. Yet, God’s faithfulness is unfailing, and when we look back, we can marvel at the beauty and completeness of His fulfilled promises. - P96

 Yet, the reality is that Heloves us more than we could possibly comprehend, and He knows us moredeeply than we could ever know ourselves, for He is the One who createdeach unique person with their individual personalities, gifts, and abilities. - P97

We see in the book of Numbers how God cares about His people. He tellsMoses to "take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans andfamilies, listing every man by name, one by one" (Num. 1:2). One reasonfor this census is to record a list of possible soldiers, but the inclusion ofeach name also reflects God‘s attention for every person in the Israelitecommunity.  - P97

Every family matters to God because they belong to His com-munity. They are His family. Believers today can rest assured that God seeseach one of us. He cares for every one of His children. He knows us one byone and loves us in the way that we need Him most. - P97

Father, thank you for Your unfailing promises. Strengthen my heart to trust in You when I cannot see the full picture. - P97

Help me to wait with patience and faith, knowing that Your Word never fails. In Your Son’s name I pray, amen. - P97

알라딘 커피 팩토리 / 2025년 2월

항상 페루게이샤는 너무 강하다는 느낌만 있어 뭐라 느껴보려고 해도 틈을 주지 않네요. 그래도 게이샤는 무난하게 잘 로스팅하는 알라딘이 좋습니다. 부드러우면서 우아함을 살짝 느껴볼려는 찰라에 어느새 100g이 없네요.

에티오피아 예가체프 콩가 아메데라로 - 200g, 홀빈
알라딘 커피 팩토리 / 2024년 11월

화려하게 팡팡 터지기보다는 다소 절제된 진한 풍미가 있는 산미가 좋네요. 찐덕한 카라멜이 단맛을 잘 잡아주면서 조금은 풍성한 바디감이 있어 아직은 추운, 마지막이 될 수 있는 이번주의 꽃샘추위에 딱 좋네요. 결국에는 에디오피아 커피로 돌아온다는 말이 맞는 것 같습니다.

[오늘의 한문장] 하나님의 시선

2 Corinthians 5:9 NLT
[9] So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. - P95

사도 바울은 그의 사역에 있어서 주를기쁘시게 하는 것‘을 최고의 덕목, 기준으로 삼았습니다. 우리가 주님의 부르심을 받아 사역을 한다면 ‘주님의 인정‘이 우리의 최우선이 되어야 합니다. "적어도일주일에 한 번 이상 주님이 원하시는 그 기준에 따라 사는지 지난 삶을 점검하십시오"  - P95

삶을 복되게 만드는 방법 중 하나는 하나님 앞에서 정기적으로 자신을성찰하는 것입니다. 이 점검의 시간을 통해 하나님을 기쁘시게 하는 일과 관계없는 야망의 뿌리를 뽑을 수 있습니다. 헛된 수고를 하지 않기 위해 정기적으로 ‘기준‘을 점검하는 것이 신앙의 유억임을 기억하십시오. - P95

챔버스는 홀로 있을 때‘의 모습이 진정한 ‘공적인 가치‘
를 가진다고 말합니다. 다른 표현으로, 하나님과 홀로 있을 때의 모습이야말로진정한 우리의 모습입니다. 하나님과 홀로 있을 때가 바로 ‘기준의 기준이 될수 있습니다.  - P95

우리가 홀로 있을 때 주님과 ‘함께‘ 할 수 있다는 진리를 깨달아야합니다. - P95

자신의 부름 받은 ‘하나님의 거룩한 성전‘임을 알고, 하나님의 거룩한 빛을 나타낼 때 하나님의 약속을 이루는 삶을 살게 됩니다. 챔버스는 이를 ‘성화‘라 말합니다. 우리의 자연적 본성(natural life)을 영적인 삶(spiritual life)으로 바꾸어나가는것입니다. 이런 변화는 오로지 순종을 통해서만 가능합니다.  - P96

우리가 순종하기로결심하면 하나님께서는 친히 우리를 가르치시고 인도하십니다. 그러므로 성화는오로지 하나님을 따르는 사람들이 영적 의지로 하나님만을 신뢰하는 일입니다. - P96
