Title: The Seated Lord (Psalm 29:10-11)
Contents
The Hankyoreh newspaper, October 1 (yesterday), published an article about an absurd incident with the title of "I have bad luck in the house..." extorting 1.2 billion won from three housewives who came to jumbo. In other words, on September 30, Busan Haeundae Police Station applied for an arrest warrant for four members of the family, including a shaman Shin Mu-gae (42, female), on charges of extorting 1.2 billion won from three housewives by deceiving them to relieve bad luck in the house This shaman named Mr. Shin is three housewives: Mr. Park (39, Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi), Mr. Kim (50, Mapo-gu, Seoul), and Mr. Lee (42, Suwon, Gyeonggi) who came to see him from early 2002 to early this year It is alleged that he received 1.2 billion won, including 700 million won, 200 million won, and 300 million won, respectively, for scare, saying, "If you don't do good luck in the house, your family will die." Shin also said that after moving from Seoul to Busan in May, he called Park and Kim to his house to do household chores, and is said to have been repeatedly beaten. The police said that the victims even sold their houses and gave them to Mr. Shin, but even after they gave up all their property, the police couldn't resist Shin's threat that they would annihilate their families.
Look at these stupid housewives. Thinking that serving God is a waste of time and money, we avoided and ran away, living with idols in our hearts, and this resulted in these results.
It's hard to believe that something like this didn't happen in the 19th or 20th century, but in the modern society of the 21st century.
What is sitting in our hearts? This is important. If empty things settle down, your life will be empty.
But when the Lord sits in our hearts, we become a virtuous woman. become a wise person.
In verse 10 of today's text, the words "The Lord sits" are recorded twice. The meaning of "to sit on" means "to be present and to rule with his authority".
The first speaks of "the Lord seated in the flood".
If it is the time of the flood that the psalmist is talking about here, I think he is probably referring to the time of Noah's flood. At the time of Noah's Flood, the whole earth became a sea of water because of sin, and all living things on the earth were annihilated by the flood. However, not a drop of water leaked into Noah's ark, so all of Noah's family members in the ark were saved. However, the Lord was sitting at the center of this judgment and salvation. This is the faithful confession of David who wrote this psalm.
The Lord sits at the center of salvation and destruction. No god, no authority, no power, no power, the Lord is seated.
I hope not to be deceived. nothing else. Nothing else can do you. Therefore, instead of fearing others, we should fear the Lord, who was condemned in the flood.
Second, it says, “The Lord who has been enthroned as King forever and ever.”
Those with whom Jehovah is seated as King in their hearts have no worries. There is nothing to fear for those with whom the Lord is enthroned as King. Because the king is in charge of all the things of the country and its people. In the past, even if there was no obesity, the king was responsible. And even if there were famines and calamities, the king took responsibility.
The God who has been entrusted with all of us, who is seated as King, is in charge of his people. You have to provide all our food, protect us, keep us safe, and give us hope for our future.
Dear saints,
May you entrust your life to Jehovah. May you entrust your worries, anxieties, problems, and even all useful things you have and acquired to God. O LORD, sit as my King at this time and for ever and ever! And empower me to rule over everything in my life! Rule me! and pray for entrustment.
Dear saints,
What is sitting right now as the king of our lives? Are you a person? is it wealth? What worldly things are they? Such things will never protect us from typhoons and floods that come along our path of life. And while they may be our friends and companions for a while, they cannot be our friends or companions forever.
There is only one God who can sit forever and ever.
1. There are many precious things in the world, but there is only one Jesus
There are many valuable things in the world, but only Jesus
There is nothing of value except Jesus.
Jesus, who gives life to anyone, is precious
Blessed are those who believe in the love of Jesus and the love of Jesus.
Blessed are those who believe in the love of Jesus and the love of Jesus.
2. There are many friends in the world, but there is only one Jesus
Although there are many difficulties in the world, there is only one Jesus
Jesus my life my eternal friend
Jesus who gives true love and joy is precious
Blessed are those who believe in the love of Jesus and the love of Jesus.
Blessed are those who believe in the love of Jesus and the love of Jesus.
When the Lord is seated in our path of life, we receive comfort and strength from Him. You will get protection. Therefore, I believe that there is nothing to fear if the Lord is seated as King among us.
Verse 11 of today's text introduces what kind of grace the Lord bestows on the man who is seated. “The LORD will give strength to his people, and the LORD will bless his people with peace.”
The seated Jehovah first gives strength to his people.
The seated Jehovah is the Giver and Provider of power available to his people. Jehovah gives his people the strength of wisdom, the strength of wealth, the strength of health, and the spiritual strength to overcome the world. Truly, this world is a place of tribulation. A place of war. Because it is a place of disease and confusion, we cannot overcome this world without receiving the power from above.
Numbers 24:8 says, "God brought him out of Egypt, and his strength is like a wild ox; he will devour his enemies, and break their bones, and will shoot through them with arrows."
It was because God was seated in the victorious faith life of those who ended their lives with a victorious faith.
Second, he gives the blessing of peace to his people.
In fact, the power of God who causes things that shake our lives like a storm is the power that can benefit those who depend on God. As the Lord calmed the storm, so can God also bring peace to His people.
Numbers 6:26 It is said, "Peace come to the Lord when he eats with his face turned toward me."
It is estimated that 7 billion sleeping pills are consumed in the United States each year. 19 million were consumed per day. 19 million people a day suffer from insomnia if they don't take sleeping pills. Aspirin is said to have sold over 11 million pounds a year. This equates to 75 billion headaches per year.
Korea ranks second in alcohol consumption among OECD member countries, and 17 trillion won is wasted annually due to alcohol consumption. These statistics show that modern people solve their anxiety, fatigue, tension and stress with alcohol or rely on sleeping pills. It is the evidence of a world without joy and without peace.
2 Chronicles 20:30 says, "The kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, because his God had given them peace on every side." And in Isaiah 26:3 it says, "You will keep him who is steadfast in his heart, in peace, because he trusts in you."
The president's private car used at the White House in the United States is equivalent to $550,000 (about 440 million Korean won). It looks slim as a car called Lincoln Rimjin, but only with the weight of the shell, it is close to an armored car, and the ceiling uses the shell of a fighter. The tires are also specially designed so that even if all four are blown, it can run for an additional 80km at full speed. However, although it is such a safe car, the person riding in it is always anxious. Fear is what drives people to act. Hope. belief. There are four types of love, and among them, fear is the most influential motive. It is important to arm the outside of man with limejin, but when God sits in the heart of man, he truly enjoys the blessing of peace.
Therefore, dear saints!
May the Lord sit among you and guide and rule you.
