로마서 12:11 말씀을 읽고 도전이 된 내용과 묵상하고 적용할 사항을 정리해 보았습니다.
Romans 12:11 Do not be lazy but work hard, serving the Lord with all your heart.
온 마음(all your heart)으로 할 것 → 주님을 섬기는 것
바울은 로마서 12장에서 삶에서 해야 하는 것들에 대해 여러 가지를 언급하며 삶에 대한 영적인 관점을 이야기하고 있습니다. 그중 게으르지 말고 열심히 일하고 온 마음으로 주를 섬기라고 말씀하신 부분(11절)이 마음에 와닿았습니다.
요즘에는 이것저것 생각하면서 마음이 나뉘며 살아가는 삶이 많은 것 같습니다. 여러 가지 관심사들이 있고, 참여하고 기여하다 보니 이런저런 활동들도 있고 해서 마음이 이것저것 나뉘어서 살을 계속적으로 바쁘게 하는 것 같습니다. 주여, 제가 삶을 살아갈 때 열심히 살아가는 것도 필요하고 좋은 것입니다. 로마서 12:11절 상반절에서는 게으르지 말고 열심히 일하라고 말씀하셨습니다. 그러나 제가 온 마음으로 해야 하는 것은 주님을 섬기는 것이라고 말씀하셨습니다. 따라서 제가 정말 마음을 다하여 해야 하는 것은 주님을 섬기는 것입니다. 제가 주님을 섬기는 방법은 열심히 주님의 말씀을 전하고 말씀대로 살아가며 그 안에서 깊은 평안함 가운데 살아가는 것입니다.
주여, 제가 제 마음을 다하여 해야 하는 것이 주님을 섬기는 것임을 잊지 말고 온전한 마음으로 주님을 섬기는 것에서 진보할 수 있기를 간절히 기도합니다. 주여, 제가 마음을 다하여 주님을 섬기는 삶을 살아갈 수 있기를 간절히 기도합니다. 오늘도 시간을 내어서 잠잠히 주님을 섬기기 위한 기도시간을 갖고, 말씀을 전하는 삶을 시도하도록 적용하겠습니다. 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘!

Do with all your heart → Serving the Lord
In Romans 12, Paul is talking about a spiritual perspective on life, mentioning a number of things that we should do in life. One of the things that stuck out to me was when he said not to be lazy, but to work hard and serve the Lord with all your heart (v. 11).
These days, I feel like I live a lot of my life with my mind divided, thinking about this and that. I have a lot of interests and activities that I'm involved in and contributing to, so I feel like my mind is divided and I'm constantly busy. Lord, it's necessary and good for me to work hard as I go through life. You said in the first half of Romans 12:11 that I should work hard and not be lazy, but what I should do with my whole heart is to serve You, so what I really need to do with my whole heart is to serve You. The way I serve You is by diligently preaching Your Word, living by it, and having a deep peace in it.
Lord, I earnestly pray that I may never forget that what I should do with all my heart is to serve You, and that I may progress in serving You with all my heart. Lord, I fervently pray that I can live a life that serves you with all my heart. I will take time today to be quiet in prayer to serve You and apply myself to attempt to live a life that speaks Your Word. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen!
