Matthew 14:29-30 NLT

아무리 작은 음성이라도 그 음성에 응답해 자신을 내던지면 주님의 음성을 더욱 명확히 듣게 됩니다. 작은 순종이 우리를 더 큰 순종으로 이끌어갑니다.  - P196

우리에게 필요한 것은 실제 상황 가운데서 주님을 계속 인식하는 것입니다. 주님은 우리로 하여금 바다 위를 걷게 하실 수도, 파도 밑을 걷게하실 수도 있는 분임을 기억하는 것입니다.

6At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both horse and chariot lie still.

7It is you alone who are to be feared. Who can stand before you when you are angry? - P92

8From heaven you pronounced judgment, and the land feared and was quiet—

9when you, God, rose up to judge, to save all the afflicted of the land.

10Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise, and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.

11Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared.

- P93

We live in tumultuous times. Wars, together with the pursuit of wealth and power, are wreaking havoc around this world. The "afflicted of the land"
(v. 9), of whom there are many, are crushed under the weight of it all. But a day is coming when the weapons of war will be broken, and those who wield them will be silenced. - P94

Despite the chaos of our world, we can know for sure that the almighty God will one day execute His righteous judgment. The afflicted will be saved, and those who oppress them will be judged. - P94

These things are so certain that the psalmist writes in the past tense, as if they have already taken place. Because God always keeps His word, the justice He promises is as good as done. - P94

The problems in our lives and world often appear insurmountable. Even themost godly and gifted leaders among us seem powerless against them. NotGod!  - P94

Humanity may not have the answers or strength to fix a worldmad, but God does. For this reason, He is to be praised. God‘s wrath againstinjustice is cause for celebration.  - P94

We rejoice in that coming day when theAlmighty will still the raging seas of our violent world. In the meantime,
the psalmist urges us to make vows and bring gifts to our Lord.  - P94

In otherwords, to align our lives with His will and His ways. As we do so, we gainan eternal perspective and a renewed hope for the trials we face. - P94

"Bad news may come, but we won‘t fear because of who God is, not because of whatwe can control."-Courtney Reissig - P94

Jesus, in times of trouble and chaos, may I keep the eyes of my heart fixed on You. There is nothing in this world that can keep me from Your love and grace. Align my heart and thoughts to Your ways. In Your name, amen. - P95

5Throughout my Christian walk, I have always viewed God as a gentle Shep-herd, forgiving and kind. Though this is true, it is not the full picture ofthe God we serve. Today‘s passage is a poignant reminder that God is nei-ther weak nor passive. On the contrary, He is powerful and just, a mightywarrior with no rival. What great comfort this brings! We will face manybattles in our lifetime and we must remember that it is the Lord who fightson our behalf. Exodus 14:14 states, "The LORD will fight for you; youonly to be still."

9As for me, I will declare this forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,

10who says, "I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up." - P89

The psalmist praises God as the righteous judge who exalts the humbleand brings down the wicked. God declares that at the appointed time, Helwill execute judgment.  - P89

God warns the arrogant not to boast, as it is He whejudges. In the end, the horns of the wicked will be cut off, but the righteouswill be lifted up. - P89

The psalmist declares that God is in control, even when it seems that the wicked continue to prosper unchecked. Though we may not understand God’s timing, we can trust that He knows when and how to act. - P90

His wisdom far surpasses ours, and His justice will prevail at the appointed time. This truth is a source of comfort, especially when dealing with arrogant people who defy God’s ways. - P90

The world may seem chaotic, but God is not absent. . - P90

He is sustaining creation and orchestrating His perfect plan. Our role is to remain faithful, even when we face uncertainty. - P90

We can trust that God will bring justice as we wait on Him with steadfast faith and obedience - P90

Many people wrestle with the problem of evil. Why does God allow injustice to persist? The psalmist recognizes that God has the final word. He is sovereign and acts according to His perfect will.  - P90

The proud and wicked mayflourish temporarily, but no one will escape judgment. Ultimately, they willface God‘s justice.  - P90

At the same time, those who walk in righteousness willbe lifted up in due time. This truth should not only give us confidence inthe face of injustice but also lead us into a posture of worship.  - P90

The psalmistsings praises to the God of Jacob because He is both just and good. Likewise, our response should be continual praise because of the goodness ofour just God. - P90

"Nothing can successfully stop any act or any event or design or purpose that Godintends to certainly bring about." - John Piper - P90

Righteous Judge, I trust that You see every act of injustice and that nothing escapes Your knowledge. When I feel discouraged by evil in the world, remind me that You will make all things right in Your time. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen. - P91

우리에게 필요한 것은 지루한 일상 속에서 작고 사소한 일에 순종하는 것입니다. 우리의 모든 일상과 상황을 만들고 계획하신 대로 이끌어가시는 하나님을고 순종하며 나아가는 것입니다. 성품은 이렇게 하나님의 은혜를 경험하는 우리에게 차곡차곡 쌓여가는 것입니다.
