호세아 14:9 말씀을 읽고 도전이 된 내용과 묵상하고 적용할 사항을 정리해 보았습니다.
Hosea 14:9 A wise person will know these things, and an understanding person will take them to heart . The LORD's ways are right . Good people live by following them, but those who turn against God die because of them.
현명한 사람 → 주님의 길이 옳음을 인정하며 그것을 따르는 삶
정말로 현명한 사람은 어떤 삶을 살아갈까? 현명한 사람은 마음으로 취하는 삶을 살아갑니다. 즉, 간편하거나 시시한 것들로 자신을 채우는 것이 아니라 전심을 다하여 일치된 마음으로 진리를 택하는 삶입니다. 자신의 마음에 옳은 것을 두고 그것이 자신을 지배하도록 합니다. 그런데, 무엇을 따르고 마음에 두는 삶이 되어야 할지요? 그것은 바로 주님의 방법이 옳다는 것입니다. 주님의 방법이 옳기 때문에 훌륭한 사람들은 그것들을 따르는 삶을 살아가며 하나님 즉, 전능자를 반대하며 돌아는 자들은 죽게 되는 것입니다(호 14:9).
현명하고 좋은 사람들은 옳은 것, 의로운 것, 진리를 마음에 두고 살아갑니다. 그들은 자신의 마음에 옳은 것을 두기 원하므로 마음속으로부터 전능하신 자를 두고 신을 따르는 삶을 살아갑니다. 전능하신 자를 두고 신을 따르는 생활에 대해 자신이 스스로 깊이 묵상하며 그것에 온 마음을 두고 살아가는 삶이 얼마나 아름다운지요? 저도 마음에 하나님을 두고 살며 진리 안에서 살아가고자 하는 마음을 전심으로 가질 수 있기를 소망합니다. 제가 하나님을 마음에 두고 살아가며 진리 안에 거하는 삶을 살아갈 수 있기를 간절히 기도합니다.
주여, 제가 오늘을 살아가면서 진리가 무엇인지를 늘 살피며, 마음에 하나님만을 가득 채우는 삶을 살아가는데 진보하기를 기도합니다. 주여, 제 마음에 무엇이 있고 제가 무엇에 동의하는지, 제가 무엇으로 마음을 두는지를 생각하며 살아가는 삶이 되길 간절히 기도합니다. 하나님을 마음에 두되 온전히 하나님만을 두고 있는지를 깊이 묵상하며 3회 이상 점검하는 시간을 갖도록 적용하겠습니다. 모든 말씀을 예수 그리스도의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘!
현대인이 하루에 세 번 이상 하나님을 마음에 온전히 두고 있는지를 깊이 묵상하는 모습을 담은 이미지입니다. 아침, 점심, 저녁에 각각 기도하고 묵상하며 하나님을 중심에 두는 시간을 갖는 장면이 그려져 있습니다.
The Wise Man → Recognizing the Lord's ways are right and following them
What kind of life does a truly wise person live? A wise person lives a life that is taken up with the heart-a life that does not fill itself with easy or trivial things, but chooses truth with a wholehearted, unified mind. They set their hearts on what is right and let it rule them. But what should be the life of following and setting one's heart on? The answer is that the ways of the Lord are right, and because the ways of the Lord are right, good people live lives that follow them, and those who turn against God, the Almighty, will die (Hos 14:9).
Wise and good people live their lives with what is right, what is righteous, and what is true in their hearts. They want what is right in their hearts, so they live their lives following God, the Almighty, from the bottom of their hearts. How beautiful it is to live a life of following God with the Almighty at the center of one's mind, and to meditate deeply on it with one's whole heart. I hope that I, too, can have the same desire to live with God at the center of my heart and to live in truth. I fervently pray that I can live a life with God in my heart and abide in the truth.
Lord, I pray that as I live my life today, I will always be on the lookout for what is truth, and that I will make progress in living a life that fills my heart with God. Lord, I pray that I will live a life that is mindful of what is in my heart, what I agree with, and what I set my mind on. I will apply myself to spend at least three times a day checking in with myself to make sure that I am setting my heart on You and You alone. I pray all this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
