Title Son Yang-won - My Gratitude

my thanks
Psalm 100 1-5
Since we have a Thanksgiving Day that comes once a year, this year, I will speak with Psalm 100.
1. I thank Jehovah for being my God (3)
There are many gods and many lords in the world, but I am thankful that I have nothing but Jehovah God. Jehovah is everything to me.
The joys, sorrows, joys, and sorrows (喜怒哀樂愛惡慾) are all valuable to him.
(1) Gratitude is for all my circumstances, that is, when I am hungry, when I am sad, when I am injustice, when I am in hardship, when I am sick, and when I beg. However, I do not know how unbelievers live. Maybe it's because I'm bored and I don't know if I'll just fall down. That's unfortunate.
(2) There are other religions, but there are so many vain gods, you probably don't know where to look for them.
(3) This is because only Jehovah God is the Great Master who created the universe and is the God of power who controls life, death, and happiness.
Therefore, seeking one God is the same as obtaining all things in the universe. This is like marrying a rich man and taking possession of the owner's entire property.
2. I thank Jehovah for being my father (3)
(1) This Jehovah God is my Father who made me. In Genesis, it said, 'Let's make it in our image.' That is, the soul was made in the image of God the Father and the body was made like the body of our Savior Jesus, so why not be thankful for this? You don't know how well you made this body. Dr. Severance said that this body was made more strangely than the mechanical factories used in American oil fields. This structure is the most mysterious. (Yeah...
‥‥① Comparison between cattle and other beasts ② The relationship between this body and all things)
(2) Moreover, even those of you who have leprosy, aren't you grateful that God has become your father?
According to Psalm 27:10, my parents have forsaken me, but the LORD will receive me.'
(3) Since this God has become my parent, what do we lack? It is filled with a sense of superiority and satisfaction, so there are no unhappiness or dissatisfaction.
(The story of the beggar baby and the rich man)
3. Thank the Lord for being my king (3)
Every ethnic group in the world has a sense of national superiority and is proud of it. I am grateful to have become the people of the kingdom of heaven who have Jehovah as their king. I'm grateful that I wasn't born in the extreme cold zone of the North-South Ice Sea, and I'm also grateful that I wasn't born in a tropical country just below the equator. I am thankful that I did not become a black citizen with a black face, nor a white person without any light on my face, but I was born as the eldest son of Noah and a yellow race, the primary color of the earth.
The fact that I was not born as a barbarian citizen of the East, not as a North Korean citizen, but as a Korean in the Eastern country of courtesy is a condition of thanks to Jehovah. Moreover, being a people of the kingdom of heaven under Jehovah's rule is a condition of incomparable gratitude.
If you listen to the three great thanksgivings that are written before the god Serenos, ① he did not become a beast, he became a man; ② he became a man, but he did not become a woman, he became a man; It is said that he was born as a human being.
However, in the above three thanks, ② is a word that is distasteful to women, and ③ is a word that is offensive to savages. It would be the best thing for Greeks, but I am more grateful to be born again as a people of the kingdom of heaven than those Greeks. Also, it is truly grateful to know that the great nation that boasted wisdom and magnificence had long since collapsed, but Jehovah's kingdom in the kingdom of heaven is forever and ever, and that they have become the people of a nation that will last forever.
In the ancient and famous great countries Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Greece, Rome, and the Eastern King Shun, it is difficult to find even a shadow of the nations, but our heaven today is the same country as in the past and now. would you be grateful Korea's independence is precious, but the heaven we obtained is even more precious. “Japan, which boasted of Yamado Tamashi, was also defeated, and Germany, which had commanded the world, also fell. The United Kingdom boasts of its land, and the United States is proud of its wealth and freedom and politics in its standing.
In the ancient times of the East, I was satisfied with the reign of Josun (堯舜), and the Jewish people regarded the descendants of Abraham as superior, but I am proud and thankful that I am a people of heaven under the rule of Jesus Christ, the King of kings.
4. Thanking Jehovah for being my shepherd (3)
The Lord is the Shepherd of my spirit and body, of this life and of the life to come. I thank the Lord for 'my shepherd, leading me to green pastures and calm streams: This is Jehovah God and Father, who is my shepherd, comforting, protecting, admonishing and guiding me. Therefore, this Psalm 23 was a prayer wish and a satisfying thanksgiving during the six years in prison. The reason I didn't worry at all was because of the saying, 'The Lord is my shepherd, what do I lack?' Indeed, the Lord is wisdom, strength, and great protection, what do you lack? Is it because the farmer planted well, planted well, and nurtured it well for such a great harvest this year? no. More than that, Jehovah is loving and nurturing by sunlight. The rain manure was more powerful than that, perhaps because the farmers were good at fertilizing them. If I ask if the billionaire creation can live with my wisdom and my own strength, it is absolutely not the case.
Everyone! Let's not forget the above four great thanks. He is our God, our Father, our King, and our Shepherd. How can we not be thankful when we realize these things!
