Title: When your heart is troubled and hard
Bible: Text Isaiah 55:1-3
Starting Point of the Word>>
This time, I would like to share the sermon with the title of “When my heart is troubled and troubled” through the words of the text.
If there is a problem we fall into the biggest dilemma in our religious life, it will be the problem of 'faith'.
What is true faith?
And what is the faith that pleases God? Etc
So, thinking about what kind of words to say about faith to people who are faced with such a problem of faith was a problem when the Lord preached the gospel, and I think about whether it is the task of pastors who are pastoring today. .
I can give you various answers, but I wonder if this situation is the life of faith.
It is to be able to find hope and rise again even in places where miracles have disappeared in our lives.
And being able to start over because of that hope.
I think that true faith is not losing peace of mind even in difficult circumstances.
Because people think that everything is judged by the things on this earth, but faith is not.
So, today's text suggests a way to restore true faith through the words of this text to those of us who have been hurt and torn by the various conditions and circumstances of the world. In difficult times” It means to lift up your eyes again and look at the Word with a heart that hopes for the will of the Lord.
Go in>>
So, what kind of faith should we have when we are troubled and troubled?
First, please believe that God's opportunity is an opportunity when your heart is troubled and troubled.
Sometimes Christian joy comes from suffering rather than from things going well.
Therefore, "Have you faith or not?" is more important than "Are you suffering?"
Because if you have faith, you can overcome the barriers of the environment and the pain of your heart.
God always gives us the greatest opportunity of God through suffering when we are weak, ugly, sick, struggling, and offended.
to become holy, to change the direction of our lives worthily, to reform our consciousness,
Great things like new accidents don't happen when you're comfortable.
Rather, the opportunity for God's great work is most provided when the heart is troubled.
If our hearts are hard and difficult right now, do not sit down because of it, think of it as an opportunity of God's grace, pray more diligently, and become believers who please God.
Second, we must be humble when our hearts are hard and distressed.
In that sense, what we most need when our hearts are troubled is a humble attitude above all else.
The person who actually knows grace is best revealed in his humble appearance.
Just as man's greatest attraction is above all in humble speech and humble deeds, what pleases God the most is when we have a humble heart.
So God's grace never comes when we have a high heart.
Jesus also said to the disciples who had a quarrel over each other's high positions,
He says, “Whoever wants to be high will be humbled, and whoever wants to be low will be exalted.”
Our hearts are hard and painful because we cannot give up what is mine.
I want to be recognized, but if I don't get it, my heart is hard and difficult.
If you want to do something but can't do it, your heart is hard and difficult.
I see that my heart is always found at the center of difficult and difficult things.
However, those who are humbled are not found in the center, but in Jesus Christ and the grace of God.
So we must realize that humility must also be trained.
Be humble first and serve first.
I train until that humility cuts through my body.
At that time, you will have true service, and you will be able to find true peace in your troubled and troubled heart.
Third, we must be generous with our hearts.
Even if you love God and your neighbor in the same way, your style and expression may be different.
With whom do you now have conflicts and disputes?
If you have an understanding heart, the conflict will be resolved.
If we are more faithful to our work in our respective positions, we can live well with anyone.
Therefore, we must acknowledge each other and not complain that he is not like me.
But the most important thing is for each other to stand humble before God.
If we trust each other well in God, the fight will disappear naturally.
If you truly believe that God exists, how can you recklessly shout in front of God, slap each other, express your excitement, and fight?
Not showing a fight in front of an adult is an aspect of upright character and right faith.
So now you don't have to blame the environment.
First, you just need to change your mind a little.
Depending on how you make up your mind, the painful environment may feel like your personality.
When I was young, I was embarrassed to wear ripped clothes, but I rather rip my clothes because of my personality.
As Pascal said, “People laugh and cry over the same things.” said
So, depending on how we make up our minds, we can laugh when we should cry.
So first you need to restore your confidence.
When a person is confident, his heart expands.
We should strive to understand and encourage others with confidence and live our lives.
There is no one in this world who does not need encouragement, and there is no one who cannot.
Encouragement is the biggest thing for pastors, but in fact, you need to get a lot of encouragement as well.
And you don't need anything big for encouragement, just a word of warm thanks.
Fourth, you must have a positive self-portrait.
Another thing you need to do when your mind is down is to have a positive self-portrait.
Everyone has their own self-portrait, and that self-portrait must be straight and successful.
If the self-portrait is straight, life will be straight, and if the self-portrait is subdued, his life will be subdued.
That's why the Bible says, "More than anything else, guard your heart."
If you always have a positive self-portrait, a lot of positive things will happen.
Circumstances and destiny are not given from outside, but actually come from the heart.
Don't look at my circumstances, look at my attitude.
Most of the famous great men we know lived extraordinary lives in ordinary circumstances.
So, in the present position, take a positive self-portrait and mature your dreams and visions.
Then you will be able to get great creative energy even when your heart is tired.
Finally, fifth, above all else, we must draw closer to the Word of God.
The most important thing to us when we are troubled and troubled is the Word of God.
Today's text is a short text, but it emphasizes the importance of the Word in several places.
Looking at the second half of verse 2,
“Obey me, and you will eat good things, and you will find joy in the fatness of your hearts.”
They say that in order for food to be rich and enjoyable, one must obey God's Word.
Sometimes God's specific blessings have a very conditional character.
However, the condition is not a human condition, but a very simple condition.
The conditions of God's blessing in the Bible are always unified as one.
It is hearing the word of God and putting it into practice.
Everyone wants to be blessed, but we cannot just pray anymore.
If you are not prepared to receive blessings, you cannot cry, you must not try, you cannot work hard.
The act to receive blessings is to try to live according to the Word, no matter how difficult it is.
Most of the things people have will change over time.
So, if you live with the expectation of change, your life becomes really meaningless.
Therefore, it is wisdom to live thinking that there is not much to expect from the world.
By the way, in many cases, they seek the church and God, but in reality they seek the worldly things.
That is, there are many things to be discouraged, and there are many things to worry about, and the mind becomes difficult.
Therefore, we must live on the things that do not change, and that is the Word.
At the end of the speech>>
We must not forget that everything in this world is really done according to the Word of God.
If you go on the blessed path, you will be blessed, and if you go on the wrong path, you will ruin your life.
You may not know it right now, but as time passes, only the Word of God will stand tall.
According to some studies, there are 32,500 promises of blessings in the Bible.
One way to receive so many blessings is to live according to the Word.
Sometimes there are difficult things and difficult moments come, but if you live with the word of God at the fore, you will overcome all negative life and all negative thoughts and will surely win.
Words of affirmation and encouragement from one person's mouth change people's hearts in this way.
How much more, if we truly listen to the word of God, which is the word of eternal life, as in verse 3 of the text, our souls will live and we will receive the sure grace of God.
So, don't be disappointed if it's a little difficult, and I hope you really obey the Word and live your life.
Sometimes it feels good to see a majestic tree that climbs a mountain and pierces the sky, but isn't it more impressive to see a tree that struggles and survives in a barren environment?
When the trees grow and become clogged with rocks, they grow up avoiding the rocks, even by twisting their whole body.
In the name of the Lord, I pray in the name of the Lord that you and the saints will discover God's grace rather than complaining about "when your heart is troubled and tired" while thinking about the Word you are giving us today.
