하나님과의 지속적인 교제를 위해서는 지속적으로 듣는 훈련이 필요합니다. 일단 듣고 순종하면 더 깊은 영적 교제의 단계로 들어갑니다. 듣고 순종하는 것이 반복되면서 우리는 지속적으로 영적 성장을 경험합니다.  - P59

그런데 그 말씀이 들리지 않는 이유는 무엇일까요? "하나님의 음성을 안 들으려고 하기보다는 나의 마음이 다른 곳에 빼앗겨 있는 것입니다. 따라서 하나님께서 원하는 바를 말씀하시더라도 우리는 세상의 일들과 봉사 활동 및 자기 확신등에 사로잡혀 그분의 음성을 듣지 못합니다."  - P59

 하나님 앞에 늘 헌신되어 있지 않으면, 우리는 자기가 중요하게생각하는 것들에 마음이 사로잡혀 하나님의 음성을 듣지 못합니다.
 우리의 신념과 계산을 내려놓고 단순한 마음으로 하나님의 음성을 구할 때, 그분의 음성을듣습니다. - P59

Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10
So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well,
11
for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him. - P73

With the help of the Holy Spirit, our words and actions can reflect the love and character of Jesus and inspire hearts to turn toward Him. - P74

Just like Mary, we are able to glorify Jesus in our acts of service. We can participate in building up His kingdom and fulfilling the plan of God. May we do so with the same kind of devotion and zeal that Mary had in honoring Christ. - P74

Because of the resurrection of Lazarus, many people believe in Jesus. They see Him as a miracle worker, but the religious leaders view Lazarus and Jesus as threats to their power. - P74

Today, let us recognize the beauty and worth of Jesus. Instead of being distractedby shopping or entertainment, let us focus and pour out our worship at the feet ofJesus, declaring that He is worthy of the best that we can bring. - P75

What hardships or challenges have you faced because of your commitment to follow Christ? - P74

 "우리는 주의 종의 음성은 듣고 싶어 하지만 하나님의 음성은 거부합니다. 하나님께서 말씀하시면 그 말씀에 순종하든지 불순종하든지 양자택일을 해야 하기 때문입니다."  - P58

음성을 듣고 순종해야 또 듣고 또 순종하게 됩니다. - P59

문제는 타이밍이었다. 분통이 터진 사울은 땅을 쳤다. 하필이면 그토록안 잡히던 다윗을 거의 다 잡은 이 순간에 블레셋이 침공해 오다니. 그러나 다윗을 잡느라 나라가 망하게 할 수는 없는 일이었다. 사울은 분해서 땅을 치며 추격을 중단하고 군대를 돌릴 수밖에 없었다. 이는 절호의 기회를놓친 사울에게는 ‘하필이면 지금‘이라는 통분의 타이밍이었지만, 죽음의 문턱에서 기사회생한 다윗에게는 ‘어떻게 지금‘이라는 기쁨의 타이밍이었다. - P81

 찬송가 가사처럼 "무거운 짐을 나 홀로지고 견디다 못해 쓰러질 때 불쌍히 여겨 날 구원해줄 이 은혜의 주님 오직예수"이시다. - P83

다윗은 ‘하나님의 방법으로, 하나님의 능력으로 문제를 해결해달라고 기도했다.  - P83

48If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation."

49Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, "You know nothing at all!

50You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish." - P68

We can focus on our own concerns, or we can focus on Christ. May we recognize the value of choosing faith, even when our lives may be disrupted or turned upside down.
- P70

In what ways has your life changed since choosing to follow Jesus - P70

God does unbelievable things. He saves sinners, changes lives, and answersprayers in powerful ways. As followers of Jesus, we believe this. Look atus- we are examples of His incredible work! We were once sinners, but bythe forgiveness of sin through Jesus, we are declared saints in God‘s eyes!
Our eternal destination has changed. The power of sin has been broken.
Our lives have meaning and purpose. We are a part of God‘s plan and ad-opted into His family in which we are eternally loved! Praise God for what He has done! - P71
