Title: Those Who Trust in the Lord
Contents
He is now deceased, but you will remember Lee Byung-chul, Chairman of the Samsung Group.
It can be said that he is a leader in the business world of this country who founded and grew the group. It is said that he owned dozens of subsidiary companies under his control, and had so much wealth that it was impossible to estimate how much he had.
When it was time to go to work, dozens of bosses and secretary Jin lined up in front of the front door and saluted 90 degrees. The group's total demand, was the king. But he confesses that he can do anything he wants with money and powerful influence, but only three things.
First, the golf ball does not fly freely when playing golf.
It is said that people were looking for Miwon even while wearing a breeze.
Third, children are not allowed to do what their parents want them to do.
How could there be only those three things you can't do on your own? First of all, now that he is laid in a coffin, death would not have been his own. Did you watch Kim Il-sung's birthday party in Pyongyang, which aired on TV recently? He, too, will one day have no way to stop dirt from getting into his eyes.
In Jordan, there is an old castle ruins called Jerash. How well built it would be great if the interior could accommodate 5,000 people back in those days. If you whistle in front of it, you can hear it all the way to the back. However, with the fall of the dynasty, it is now the site of the former imperial castle. Egypt has a pyramid with a height of 63 buildings, but there is no trace of the king who commanded it at that time.
Verse 1 says, “Why are the nations angry, and the nations plotting in vain?” Verse 2 says, “Princes go forth in the world, and rulers conspire against one another, against the Lord and his anointed.” These are the kings who are powerful enough to rumble mountains and streams and even drop flying birds, but do not say anything in front of the anointed here.
Because he did not know that the sovereignty of the king was in God and that the rise and fall of the kingdom were in God's hands, one day King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon looked at the magnificent city spread out under the roof from the top of the royal palace of Babylon, and became intoxicated with the great work he had accomplished. This Babylon the Great will be built by my power and authority and will be my city, and it will not show my majesty and glory.
At this time, a voice came from the sky.
“I tell you, Nebuchadnezzar, the righteousness of this kingdom has already departed from you.”
The king went crazy. He ate grass like a cow and slept under the dew. His hair became like the hair of an eagle, and his nails became like the claws of a bird.
Seven years later, understanding returned again, and he said to God, "His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation. He treats all the inhabitants of the earth as if they were nothing, and he does whatever he wants, whether it be with this soldier or with the inhabitants of the earth. Now, if anyone forbids his hand, perhaps no one can say, “What are you doing?” Daniel 4 confesses. There is no one who can stand in the way of God's authority.
But so was Nebuchadnezzar's son Belshazzar. Although he knew what had happened to his father, he was rather arrogant and disobeyed God, drank alcohol, and served idols. Then a finger appeared on the wall of the royal palace, and that night the kingship and the kingdom were destroyed.
We need to know that our wealth, the authority we enjoy, and the honor we have all belong to God. To oppose the authority of God and His Son with the little power of the world is just like managing in vain.
There used to be a male member who went to church. When I was asked to come to church one Sunday while I was running a laundry, I said, "I'm the head of the inspection department of the Seongbuk-gu Laundry Business Central Association branch.
So, I have to go to the inspection." He said, "I take the position of inspection very seriously. I do not know how I will live because the laundry will close later, but I should make the first thing I do on Sundays is to worship before God, the Great King of Arms. It hurt my heart to make it my top priority.
You have to compare the attitude of taking a plane and taking a train to worship God on a Sunday and coming to a church with your name on it to worship, and how many people go out to the mountains, wedding halls, and gatherings on Sundays.
Verse 12 says, “Blessed are those who trust in the Lord.” The Bible says, "Blessed are those who learn from God and wisdom and from me." Proverbs chapter 8 says, "I have counsel and true knowledge, and I am understanding. I have power, that through me kings rule, and princes set justice, and through me all the judges of wealth and honor, all the judges of the earth." It is recorded.
Second, he said that blessed are those who serve the Lord out of reverence. Serving with reverence means being afraid to approach and seeing him, but rejoicing and rejoicing that he is with him. Christ, blessed is he who kisses the Son of God. It is not a kiss of betrayal like Judas Iscariot, but a kiss of loyalty, reconciliation, service, submission, worship, thanksgiving and affection.
In Daniel 6, King Darius issued a decree to all the peoples, nations, and tongues in all the land.
“Now I am issuing a decree. All those under my jurisdiction shall tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, who is the living God, who endures forever, and his kingdom will not perish and his dominion will never end. ."
It was during the Civil War. The South was united around General Robert E. Lee, and the North continued to fight under the leadership of President Lincoln. However, General Grent of the North had a bad habit. That is, if you worry, you will not be able to sleep.
Then came the bad news. It was that the soldiers from the south were making a full attack. When General Grent heard the news, he became nauseous and nearly collapsed. He even had hives all over his face and body.
But a few days later, the disease went away. Nausea, headache, and hives all over the body are gone. It was treated, but it did not go away because of the treatment. When General Lee of the South sent a letter saying, "The South is willing to compromise without fighting any more," all diseases were suddenly healed.
At that time, General Grent realized that he had such an illness because he was so worried, and from then on, he knew that everything depended on God and he turned to God. So he later became president.
Blessed are those who trust in God.
There is nothing in our body that is not important. Some people say that the appendix and tailbone are of no use, but they were all made for use.
Among them, Thymphocytes and endorphins have an absolute correlation and are said to have a significant impact on health.
There are three or four types of white blood cells in our body, and among them, Timpagu is said to be the most important. This is in the blood, and in the blood are red blood cells that provide oxygen. Thymphocytes are the most important white blood cells to fight germs. If you get angry and worry frequently, you will fall into depression and lose motivation. If that happens, the Timpagu will also lose motivation and lose strength.
A person's mind and resistance are very closely related. A disease of the mind becomes a disease of the body. It is very important that people live happily and happily. Laughing is said to have a great effect on Timpagu. When we laugh, our brain releases endorphins, a strange hormone that makes us more happy.
Thank you, thank you, and always happy and smiling, endorphins are released a lot. Conversely, when you get angry, a hormone called adrenaline is released.
It is said that there is no drug in the world that strengthens this thyme. Therefore, there is no way this timpagu will become stronger for the rich who want to eat the seafood and solve it with money. If there is joy in the heart of the poor and there is faith and trust in the Lord, the Timpagu becomes stronger and endorphins are released. Who can take away the joy and gratitude that are contained in those who realize the truth and experience the love of God through the grace of redemption of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the rock of the ages?
A dictator can infringe on a person's freedom and human rights, but he cannot take away the true faith in his heart. It is said that the endorphins released when a person lives with God's dependence and gratitude are valued at 500,000 dollars, or about 350 million won.
How grateful we are to be able to rely on the Lord and sleep comfortably in Him. The psalm says that he gives sleep to those who trust in the Lord.
For parents, it is wonderful to see their little one walking for the first time when they crawl and start walking. Praise and praise. However, when a child who was walking holding the parent's hand falls off the parent's hand, the child sits down without walking. A parent's hand is strong for a child. Because it is willful. So, if you let go of your parents, you may lose yourself.
Once, a parent gave a young child an empty paper bag. And the parents tried to hold one side of the envelope. So, in reality, it is a young child holding the envelope and the parents are holding on to it, isn't it just walking holding the empty envelope? When there is a belief in the heart of a child, as the saying goes, 'There are no weak pawns under a strong general', self-confidence arises.
When you go to a tennis court, the first thing the coach says when you receive a ball coming over with a racket in your hand is to relax your shoulders. All sports are like that.
If you force it, it's more likely to get caught, break, and harder. Exercise is not about force.
In the same way, those who depend on the Lord must lose their strength. You have to lose your power. If you say you are dependent and try to do it on your own, it will be harder. Once you get in the car, you have to put down your luggage and enjoy the trip in a comfortable position.
We ride the train to heaven in the arms of Christ, but let's leave it all to the Lord. Let's all depend on it. Then you can get a good night's sleep. Any event or anything can be comfortable. Let's say we depend on the Lord, rely on my strength and not on my talents.
"Blessed are those who trust in the Lord."
Let's depend on God. I pray that your heart will overflow with thanksgiving, peace, and true blessings to God. Amen.
