Title: Work harder
Contents
Do your best (1 Thessalonians 4:1)
It's interesting to think back to the Pippi era. ......
The features of mobile phones released these days are getting better and better. Very diverse. There are more than 13 features that I've roughly counted.
1) Receiving and placing calls 2) Phonebook function 3) Clock function 4) Alarm function 5) Memo function 6) Letter function 7) Calculator function 8) Wake-up call function 9) Camera function 10) Recorder function 11) Bank function 12 ) Internet function 13) Game console function 14) Walkman function, MP3 function.
It is a very diverse and convenient era.
But if you give the elderly a modern and complex mobile phone, can they use it well? Most seniors use only one phone, no matter how good it is. You only use the function to make and receive calls.
Depending on how usefully a mobile phone can be used, it seems to be possible to divide generations.
What level are you??
If I had to write one more thing, how much would I look at the clock??
If the price of a mobile phone machine is 300,000 won, it is probably only 100,000 won if you use one of the most important functions of making and receiving calls.
Since the most important function is the ability to make and receive calls, you may say that it is enough, but these days, the phone does not sell unless it is equipped with a complex function. That is why mobile phones that suit your taste will continue to be produced.
But what's even more sad is that even though you have a mobile phone equipped with convenient features that you have paid for so much, you can't use those features properly.
However, people who can't use it because they don't know are not frustrated.
It may be frustrating because you don't know. For those who know, it is frustrating.
Why can't other people use various functions and use them conveniently? Why?
don't you know? Is it complicated? It might be. However, even in the first grade of elementary school, they can play games and write letters on their mobile phones.
If so, is it really that difficult and complicated?
no. I'm sorry, but it's difficult and complicated, because you think "I can't do it" and because you think "It's annoying"
That's because they don't make any effort to try or learn.
When the product comes out, the manual comes with it, but I don't read the manual.
It is difficult and complex. no. It's easy. I have explained it so that everyone can understand it. However, thinking that it is difficult in itself makes you unable to do anything.
So is the Bible.
God saved us by sending our only begotten Son.
Those who believe will receive eternal life, and those who do not believe will be judged.
This is the heart of the Bible.
But the Bible is not the only one. If we look closely at the Bible, it teaches us countless ways to live happily and happily on this earth. How to run a business / How to run a family /
How to raise children/ How to serve parents/
It also teaches you how to live a healthy life.
How to pray/ How to worship/ How to do evangelism/ What God likes and dislikes/
I have recorded countless numbers.
The question is, why don't we try to know this?
This is the same question as why cellphones have various functions and why not use them.
There are several reasons for this.
1. It's because you don't know the value.
To work on something, you may need to know the result or the value of the work.
If you do not know its value, there is no reason to strive.
How much money can you save with the mobile phone texting function? It costs 30 won per box, but when you make a call, you have to speak for at least a minute, and then it costs two hundred won a day. So texting rather than calling saves money.
This is the reason why students have mastered the text.
Also, if you use the alarm function, you never forget your appointment.
There were many times in the past when I made the mistake of forgetting to pass an appointment.
However, after changing the cell phone, the cell phone rings 30 minutes or an hour before making a reservation in advance. Then you can't forget it.
How important is that one thing?
Also, if I connect my regular phone to my cell phone, I can receive calls to my study or home calls to my cell phone. What does it matter so much? Anyone who thinks they will do it again in a hurry is a fool. You are missing out on an important opportunity.
So is the Bible. If you study and study the Bible carefully, there are promises that God has spoken to you, comfort, and power.
But if you do not know the value of it, you cannot enjoy the blessing.
God speaks to me every day, and it would be foolish to live without hearing his voice and his promises.
If we live according to God's word, our problems will be solved simply, and then wonderful blessings will come, but how hard is it for you to struggle to solve it by relying only on your own method and experience without listening to it?
Look at today's text. In the end, brothers...
If you know the value, you have to work harder for it.
We need to know the value of the Bible. Only then can we make time to read the Word, meditate and study.
Those who know the value of prayer and worship do not miss the time to pray, the time to worship, and the opportunity, no matter how difficult the environment.
I hope that all of you will come to know the value of the Word, the value of prayer, and the value of worship, so that you will become more diligent in longing for the Word, praying, and worshiping than you are now.
Second, the reason for not using force is,
2. Not knowing the results.
The religious life should be fun. In other words, you should be happy and you should be happy. However, if you do not know the joy and joy, it is difficult to lead a religious life. But why do other people believe in having fun and being happy, but I can't?
It's because I'm not sure about the results.
Why do you earn money to die? If you work, you get money. It is because I am confident that I can live comfortably then.
It's really no fun if you're not sure what the outcome will be.
Why Worship? Why should I evangelize? I don't know why I should study the Bible. If other people do it, it's not fun if I do it too.
You must know that God accepts it and that there is a reward of glory.
That's why Hebrews 11:6 says, "Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He is a giver to those who diligently seek Him." That's what you did.
Knowing that serving God and doing all that we do for the Lord pleases God and will ultimately be a great blessing to me, I believe that we will be more diligent in God's work than we are now.
The third reason not to work hard?
3. It's because I didn't think I could do it.
The greatest obstacle to a person's success is himself, not others or his environment. A sense of defeat, inferiority complex, and fear of the future within yourself are the biggest obstacles to success.
Therefore, we must rely on the promises of the Bible. In it, God promises us. You must believe the promise that I will be with you, I will help you, and I will strengthen you.
However, people do not see the promise, but only their own abilities and circumstances. This results in helplessness and eventually failure. When I look at myself, I have no sense of challenge and I end up failing.
We talked about cell phones, but the same goes for computers.
Why can't adults use computers? I don't know English. Not knowing about the machine, and the fear of what to do if it breaks down is what blocks the future.
But preschool kids do well. why? Even if you don't know English, you can roughly grasp it with pictures, and there is no fear that it will break.
If you do, you will occasionally break down, but that's the way to learn.
But adults think it's a headache. That's right. My head hurts when I first learn. However, even if it is difficult, how convenient it is to learn.
The same goes for the Bible. The same is true of the religious life. How difficult is it to learn the Bible? How afraid are you when you try to learn to pray?
However, if you learn, how blessed will you be? I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't do anything.
Learn to text on your cell phone, learn to save alarms, and learn to save phone numbers. Then it is very convenient.
I have about 200 phone numbers stored in my cell phone. How do you memorize it? How do you carry your phone number booklet?
But how comfortable is it to carry this alone?
Even the Bible is difficult to learn, but if you learn it, how will it make you happy?
Dear saints,
Let's not be a foolish person who loses money without knowing its value, which is infinite. Learning benefits me. So we have to constantly study and learn.
The joy and benefits that come from realizing things I did not know are indescribable.
If it is something that pleases God, I hope that we can now decide to work even harder. We already know its value, don't we know its consequences? Knowing and not doing it is a sin.
Let's follow.
?쏶trive more and more to please God??-Amen-
