Title: God Who Dos (Psalm 72:12-19)
The month of June seems to have passed busy due to the World Cup fever and local elections.
Now, after the local elections are over, how can we find stability after politics or the World Cup that takes measures to keep promises?
Signs of various changes in society about whether or not we will be able to see the second half of the year
are welcome
The church is now renewing the church and restoring worship through special morning prayer, filling the Holy Spirit and fulfilling the mission, self-discovery and correctness
We are in a special prayer for service.
Many people prayed together and opened their hearts, so the power of prayer to welcome the new year
are collecting.
At a time like this, it is very important to find out what we are to do and how to do it.
It is considered a wisdom.
Psalm 72 is written with gratitude and emotion as Solomon becomes king and awaits the Messiah ahead of great national prosperity.
It is written to glorify God.
First, I ask God for wisdom about what to do next as a king.
(Psalm 72:1) “Give thy judgment to the king, O God, and thy righteousness to thy son.”
“(Psalm 72:2) He will judge your people in righteousness, and judge your poor in righteousness.”
“(Psalm 72:3) Because of righteousness the mountains give peace to the people, and so do the hills.”
Solomon asked for the right judgment and discernment as a king for the future of the nation and the peaceful life of the people.
He prayed that he would judge with justice and truth.
I don't know if this is the urgent thing we need to do now.
Then, I would like to share with you the words we read today about what we need to do at this point.
do.
1. We need to work with marginalized people.
“(Psalm 72:12) He rescues the needy when they cry, and the helpless poor.”
“(Psalm 72:13) He has mercy on the poor and needy, and saves the lives of the needy.”
“(Psalm 72:14) They will redeem their lives from oppression and violence, and their blood will be precious in their sight.”
After the last election and the World Cup, some people live with bloated hearts, while others live with emptiness and disappointment.
There is.
While there is the joy and excitement of the victor, there is also the frustration and discouragement of the pendulum.
While there are still confident and confident people, people who live with their heads lowered from feelings of inferiority and superiority.
there are
Even if I am a big person now, if I cannot take care of others or understand those who are lacking, I am a proud person.
And it is a small bowl.
Even if I am in a high place with knowledge, I cannot keep my heart open with people who are weak or marginalized.
Otherwise he is the most useless vessel.
When I am with those who are small as much as I am great, and when I am with those who are as low as I am high, it is only when I am with those who are perfect and mature.
It is to become a Christian.
When a teacher does not understand a student's feelings and circumstances and is angry with emotions, the teacher is already with the student.
The most personal encounters are cut off.
When a leader looks down on others with his authority, does his spiritual encounter and respect with them already collapse?
All.
If the king ignores the people and is too busy hiding his power and corruption, trust and respect for the king will be destroyed.
loses
Solomon in this sense
(Psalm 72:4) He will avenge the poor of the people, save the children of the needy, and break the oppressor.
Rhoda"
“(Psalm 72:14) They will redeem their lives from oppression and violence, and their blood will be precious in their sight.”
To say that I am mature is that I know how to serve others with the most humble heart.
2. We must do spiritually right service.
“(Psalm 72:11) Kings of kings will bow before him, and all nations will serve him.”
Solomon was respected and served as the superior king among all men, but Solomon did all these things.
They glorified God and shared peace with the people.
(Psalm 72:18) Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does wonders.
"(Psalm 72:19) Blessed be his glorious name forever; let all the earth be full of his glory. Amen Amen."
Even if I am in a position where I am respected and served, it is recognized as valuable when I give glory to God
is to receive
In the Bible, kings respected by the people are kings with God, and a king who is forsaken is always his own right.
They were the kings who revealed the
(Psalm 72:17) His name endures forever; his name endures as long as the sun.
and all the nations will call him blessed."
A life that allows people to be blessed by it is right service.
How many people have received what blessings and are thankful because of me?
Are people rejoicing and rejoicing because of me, giving thanks and being an example?
Or are people turning their heads because of me, discouraged and hurt?
We must learn to serve properly.
Humble me so that I may become a virtue, a benefit, a grace, and a peace to many
have to hit
3. We must bear good fruit.
No matter what we are in charge of or what we do in our lives of service and service, the results must always be good.
“(Psalm 72:3) Because of righteousness the mountains give peace to the people, and so do the hills.”
“(Psalm 72:7) In that day the righteous will prosper, and the abundance of peace shall come until the month is exhausted.”
“(Psalm 72:16) Even in the land on the top of the mountain there is an abundance of crops, and its fruit shakes like Lebanon;
will flourish like the grass of the earth."
In this way, wherever we live, whatever we do, and with whom we meet, we will surely receive peace and peace,
It should bear abundant and bountiful fruit.
Don't brag about how many years I've been where I am now.
You should be proud of your fruit.
Just because you've been there for a long time doesn't make you a talented person.
On the contrary, if you stay for a long time and fall into pride and arrogance, self-righteousness and prejudice, greed and selfishness, it will do you no good.
You should know that the rear sun is setting.
We should always serve with the same heart as at the beginning, and the more years we have, the more experience we have, the deeper and wider we become.
You must live a life of high faith.
When this kind of faith is spread and filled to all people, we too will take a step of a new beginning.
will be
Let's be with the marginalized.
Let's serve spiritually.
And let us bring forth good fruit to the glory of God.
