Who is God through the text? Humans can look at things.
First, who is God?
1) In verse 5 of the text, it says that he is the God of Jacob.
This is because the meeting between God and Jacob was dramatic and concrete.
God was with Jacob in difficult times, in prayers, and in various situations.
But the important thing here is to confess the God of Jacob as my God.
So, in the text, he said, “Blessed are those who have the God of Jacob as their help.”
Please confess that the God of Jacob is my God.
2) He is the God who created.
Verse 6 says that the Lord made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.
The creation account is recorded in Genesis 1-2.
God's creation is unique.
First, He created with the Word.
If you just say, "Become," "Be," and "Divided," it came to pass.
Second, it was created well.
In the book of Genesis, when God created the world, he saw that it was good
There is. Also, in Genesis 1:31, God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.
I am speaking.
The world that was good in God's sight was created by God only through His Word.
Humans cannot create something out of nothing. But all things through the word of God
You made it. This is because God has great power.
Third, you do things that I can't.
In verses 7 9 of the text, God always works when it is needed and where it is needed.
I pray that you believe that God is still working for you today. Human despair and abandonment
It is not God's despair and abandonment. When I'm resting, when I'm sleeping, when I can't, what situations
I pray that you believe that God is working even in the midst of it.
We have our strengths. It means that we are with the great God.
God who made me, God who is with me, I pray that you believe that you are my Lord and my God.
Second, what kind of being is a person?
In verses 3 and 4 of the text, the human form is revealed.
When breathing ceases, it returns to the earth, and that plan disappears on the same day as a human being.
So don't rely on a life you don't have the strength to help. We must put our hope in God alone.
But I have to make the decision for myself whether to rely on man or God.
It's not something anyone can do for you.
Guys, on whom do you want to live? who can solve my problems and crises and situations
are you thinking
In Psalm 124:8, King David said, 'Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth'.
King Solomon said in Psalm 127:1, “Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman is vigilant in vain.”
Throughout their lives, they know that God created, governs, and possesses all things.
I came to believe
Therefore, in order for us to solve our problems, overcome crises, and solve difficult situations,
First, God must be with you. Therefore, when you entrust everything to God and entrust everything
I bless you that you believe that the history of solving the problems of your life will appear.
As the text says, the life of those who put their hope in God will be blessed. Therefore, only hope in God
Patience, effort, training, clinging to work, Almighty God help me,
Lead and lift you up. 'Blessed are those who hope in God. God forever
He will reign from generation to generation.' I bless you in the name of the Lord that you will have this faith. Amen
