Title: Gratitude without knowing
Thanksgiving without knowing <Philippians 4:4-7>
□ Thank you for not knowing
(Rejoice in the Lord always, I say again, rejoice, your generosity to all
Let them know that the Lord is near; do not be anxious about anything, but in all things
By help and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God, and all understanding
The peace of God that surpasses this will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
D) <Philippians 4:4-7>
Today is Thanksgiving Day.
We can't help but be thankful for God's grace for giving us food.
How did you make such a fruit hang on a tree and eat it without any poison?
The more I think about it, the more I can't help but thank God for His grace.
And the land never devised, never said it was hard,
Seeing that we reap what we sow, nature gives us through all things.
God's grace is just amazing.
When it comes to gratitude, it is not only to be grateful in this respect, but also to tell them not to worry.
Thank God God.
That being said, some of you may find it strange.
How can you live without worries?
Who can live without worries? In fact, yes.
1. No one in the world lives without <worry> and <worry>.
That is why I come out into the world and cry
And how many times in your life do you cry?
When I was young, I fought and cried over toys, and when I was young, I wanted to have it when I was young.
We cry because of things, things we want to see, things we want to do, and when we grow old we cry over the suffering of life that comes at dusk.
If life is what makes you cry while you live, and eventually you die, if life is what makes you cry, then human beings
Life is always full of worries and anxieties.
But if you look into it, worry is useless.
A person named <Ernie Zelinski> made the following statement about her concerns.
① 40% of worries are said to never happen in reality,
② 30% of worries are about things that have already happened,
③ 22% of worries are minor concerns,
④ 4% of our worries are about things we cannot do on our own,
⑤ 4% of worries are about what we can change.
Listening to these words and actually thinking about it, we don't have to worry.
There are many cases where we live with worry.
In a word, worry grows the more you do it, manage it well and
It also means that you can live optimistically.
The Lord has already spoken to us believers.
"Do not let your hearts be troubled, believe in God, believe also in me."
All. The problem is that it depends on what kind of faith you have in God.
Not all beliefs are the same.
It is various.
I have [intellectual faith] that I know and believe with my head,
[With emotion] There is a kind of faith that believes like a pot from moment to moment, and [willfully] calmly
There are those who believe in their own way.
So our Lord said to his disciples, "Turn back and be like these little children.
If you do not do this, you will never be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.”
In other words, he said that we should believe like a child has.
How do young children trust their parents?
Not a single child doubts their parents. Is it my father or my mother
Do you have a child who wants to get genetic testing done?
There is no such child in the world.
This is called behavioral belief.
This is called the trust of trust and delegation. just having parents, that
is sufficient. If it is the rice that my mother makes, I eat it without any doubt.
I eat it without knowing what it was made of.
You don't need to know.
Why?
Because mother loves her.
Because I trust my mother.
They do not know what faith is, nor the concept of faith, but little children
It is faith itself.
When we believe in God, do we believe in that kind of faith? is.
We have become adults of faith too much.
Do not be anxious about anything, but with thanksgiving let your requests be made known.
I don't want to believe it as it is. So I live with worry and worry.
2. Therefore, we need to know that there is <thanks for living without knowing>.
If we knew everything about our lives, it would be so painful, sad, stuffy, and painful.
There will be no regrets.
① First of all, how fortunate I am that I do not know how I will die.
How painful would it be to know when and how many days you would die?
② Also, we live without knowing tomorrow.
Living without knowing what will happen tomorrow, enjoying today and living happily
All. If you know everything about tomorrow, you will not be able to live happily every day.
③ And since I live without knowing what disease I have in my body, are you still eating and living well?
All. You know, you can't live with anxiety.
The joy of living without knowing! It is truly something to be grateful for.
④ The same is true in married life.
Because you don't know the other person, your family is maintained and your face is maintained.
Knowing everything would be no fun.
It is also touching to live while hiding an emergency fund appropriately and telling lies in good faith.
And I don't think it's about feeling happy.
⑤ And no one knows when the end of history will come.
That is our gratitude and happiness.
If you knew the day and the poem, what would society be like now?
Society will not be maintained.
⑥ Also, we should be thankful that we do not know when the Lord will come.
That's because you can always be nervous and awake and believe.
Only then will we be able to live according to the Word.
Therefore, to us who believe, in today's Word,
3. He told us not to be anxious about anything, but to report it to God with thanksgiving.
What does this mean?
I cannot live without <worry> and <worry>,
Just like the people of the world, don't just worry, be discouraged, don't live like that, but rather be thankful.
He told him to tell God.
That is the life of a true believer.
Unbelievers live with worry and worry, but we believers are thankful
He told me to pray to God.
Prayer is making your situation known to God. God is our Father
Because you are, you already know our situation.
As you know, it will be better than we thought if you tell us directly at the right time.

This is fun to believe.
The life of faith should be fun.
How can I tell you to believe something that's not funny?
If you truly live a right life of faith, everything in the world is better than what you ask for.

It is the Bible that records this.
The Bible is a book that records the deeds of many people who have lived and lived by faith.
And it is a record of the promises to be given to those who live by faith.
That is why it is called the Book of Covenants.
Even between people, the promises made to loved ones remain the same.
God delivered us through the sacrificial love of giving up His Son, and
He promised to give us every good thing in the name of his son.
But ye live, seeking first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all the world
He promised to give people everything they wanted to live.

all will be resolved.
with the politicians of our country,
Businessmen and workers seek the kingdom of God and the righteousness of God first,
If you manage and treat your employees, then the workers also work in the workplace with that spirit.
If we do this, labor disputes will disappear just like all families.
But looking at our circumstances, we must all seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
All of them are conflicts that come from trying to achieve one's own desires.
Therefore, we must practice the movement to live while seeking God's kingdom and righteousness.
In the future, no matter who becomes the president, this country should be a just country.

Where should that justice begin?
We, the believers, must first make this come true in the fight against ourselves.
is.
What kind of faith is faith in God?
It has to be a faith that believes completely and actionally like a child.
Where could such a person be, they would say, a foolish thing to say.
But there must be more people like that.
We need to get those people to sit in important positions.
So, don't worry about anything,
The word to tell your requests with thanksgiving will come to life.
It is the owners of living faith that create such a society.
Please give us more faith so that we can all live with thanks in everything.
