Title: Your People Like Dew
Your people like the dew 2005-04-27
In the day of your power, your people come to you in holy garments, and your youth, like the dew of the morning, come to you (Psalm 110:3).
The text literally means ‘from the womb (or womb) of the dawn the Lord’s children are dew for you or for you’ in the Hebrew Bible.
As the darkness of dawn recedes and the light enters, like childbirth, darkness is described as giving birth to light. This is not limited to young people, but includes all of your children, all of God's children. On the day that the covenant people will go out to battle and the Lord must fight for Israel, those redeemed who can call the Lord Father are dew before the Lord.
When a situation arises where you must fight for the kingdom of God, it is a battle for the luck of the country that cannot be taken lightly. Likewise, when we live our lives serving God, there is never a moment when we do not have to dedicate ourselves to God. Jesus also worked tirelessly throughout his life. There is never a good time not to make a commitment.
However, we cannot deny that there are certain points of special dedication wherever we are when we try to fulfill God's mission apart from our individual lives.
That is the time when God will go out with a friend. At that time, especially, God comes first. And the people of the Lord will follow, which is the concept of Jehovah's kindness.
God sometimes gives crises in the community that require special commitment. This is to be used as an opportunity to unite your people. Through that opportunity, I am not alone, far away, but all of us experience the calling of the covenant people as one community.
Among them, just like the real war, it is woven into camaraderie. God made the community collide with the providence of a certain special railing and made a day like a war.
This is the day of Jehovah's war in which the spiritual and material resources of all the members of the church must be poured out. At that time, the church will shake off minor problems and renew the spirituality of the community while the church fervently pursues one goal.
In the midst of it, God is pleased to become one as a whole, and a truly great work takes place. The most important thing is to be completely of one mind. When the church encounters a crisis situation or a special situation that needs to be overcome even if it is not a crisis, God gives amazing spiritual blessings to those who participate in it and become of one mind.
When he deviates from this with an incorrect heart, he himself suffers spiritual damage. Therefore, God has permitted such a time.
The “children of the Lord…” in the text are not just young men, but all adult men and women who can go to war. They have been waiting since dawn because deep in their hearts, they are already determined to devote themselves. It shows the attitude of the Lord's people willing to dedicate their lives to giving everything. That is the dew of dawn, which came out of the womb of dawn. Serving reluctantly by duty cannot be truly serving the Lord.
It is necessary to have a willingness to contribute to what the Lord wants to accomplish through the task by successfully accomplishing the task entrusted to it. It's not to show people, but it's done with a pampering heart so that God can accomplish greater things. Failing to do so will result in the in vain of the countless resources and effort put into it.
The “good and faithful” of the parable of the talents are not separate compliments. When someone is doing God's work and the work goes in vain, it's not a matter of damage, but God's concern for continuing to work without fixing the tendency to break. If you do not understand this well and continue to work your whole life, you will eventually become a person who ruins the work of God.
When God entrusts a certain task, his personality changes into a good and loyal person while he is well performing his individual duties before God. However, if you do not do God's work and allow it to be done poorly because of your own flaws or problems, you will become more and more evil and lazy servants and bad people through the whole process of doing things wrong. This is, in the doctrine of the death of sin, the secret of killing sin and strengthening grace in the performance of individual duties.
Sometimes, if you have expertise but don't have faith, you cannot exchange that expertise for faith. A person who is not willing to work tirelessly to complete his mission with the highest quality is no good to an organization. The important thing is to have a willing heart and have an attitude that I will do everything in order to accomplish what the Lord has entrusted to me.
I need someone who remembers that Jesus laid down his life for me, and keeps his position upright without being shaken in the position he entrusted to him. Even though we are so lazy and indolent, the reason that this church is maintained and the kingdom of God is established is that very few people, if not most, are living that way, so God is creating the work of life. We must live that way.
The kingdom of God is not made with the material resources of this world, but someone has to devote it to. At a time when the harvest is white and the harvest is plentiful, the Lord is waiting like the dew from the womb of dawn, waiting for the children of God to stand before the Lord and dedicate themselves. We need a willing heart. This position that has established me is the position that the Lord has established, and since my life is colluded with this mission, I cannot abandon this mission as long as I want to live. That is the “life mission idea”.
All the people of faith in the Bible are people with this idea, and they found the significance of the existence of the significance of their own life here.
He devotes all his resources to fulfill the mission God has given him. It cannot be accomplished without me, the premise that I cannot die is not in my heart, and that person has not yet met God.
No matter how small it is, it doesn't matter People who work faithfully even in such small things with the life mission idea are meticulously crafted to build the kingdom of God. God cannot treat a person who weeps with fear of ruining his mission because of his own shortcomings, and an evil and lazy servant who has been thrown away carelessly.
There are three main “meanings of dew” in the text.
First, it is said that the number is large.
Just as small drops of water fall on the ground and become the morning dew, what a glorious scene it is to see volunteers who come out from the dawn of the day to devote themselves willingly on the day of Jehovah's kindness to cover the whole land.
On the other hand, when I devote myself to the Lord, when everyone except me is evil and does not devote myself to the Lord, I have to make them also devote themselves like me. A wise man who is truly loyal to God must also have the ability to share his fireball.
Instead of feeling hostile toward people who don't follow you like yourself, you should have a big heart like a gentleman, have compassion for them, and share the burning vision in your heart. You must pray deeply for yourself who is not, and change. Through this process, many people around them will rise up like bees and serve the Lord.
The second is “freshness”.
It also means purity. In the midst of a war to be faced with a crisis, we come forward expecting what God will accomplish through it. When God's children come out to fight the Lord's work, on the day of the Lord's war, it is not an old-fashioned attitude. In addition, when we open the church door and at the beginning of the day, we ask ourselves, 'What will happen by using me today, what kind of person will I meet and preach the gospel to cause a change in my soul and what kind of amazing work will I do for me?' It is 'freshness' that starts with anticipation.
Third, it is a cover-up to defeat the enemy.
Just as the dew covers the whole land when the dew falls, it shows the dedication, the desire for victory, and the morale of those who came out to devote themselves on this day of war where the king is friendly, covers the enemy.
It definitely shows the momentum that we can achieve this.
The fear of defeat comes from a lack of confidence that God is with us.
Like Joshua and Caleb, if God is with us and the Lord wants to accomplish this, we must have faith that we can do it. Where the King of Kings fights, there is no defeat. Also, the time will come when our church will also have to serve God with a greater level of devotion, or it may have already begun.
What is important is not the 100,000 soldiers who fear that they might be defeated, but we need people like Gideon's 300 warriors who risk all their resources to win or lose the war, confident that God will always win because He is with us. God will be glorified through us when we become the victorious protagonist in all such battles of God in the last days. 2005-04-27
