Title: Like Eyes
Bible: Deuteronomy 32:9-12
Starting Point of the Word>>
Today, at this time, we would like to share a message with the subject of “Like the Eyes.
In Korean, there is a saying “frog in the well”.
No matter how many things the frog in the well wants to see, all he sees is the sky through the well's entrance.
So the frog in the well thinks that the sky is as big as its eyes can see.
The same goes for our eyes.
Our eyes are often egocentric, so we only see what we want to accept.
Our eyes are also shown in the spiritual part.
When we look at God with our own eyes, we see only the God we know.
As a result, I try to remember the God who blesses me, the God who gives only grace and love.
However, our efforts, if we do not do well, create foolishness that makes God our idol.
When Moses, the leader of Israel, came face to face with God on Mount Horeb and received the Ten Commandments, the people of Israel tormented Aaron and made idols out of gold.
In other words, they created the image of God in their thoughts.
Moses rebuked Aaron and Israel, and it was also the cause of God's judgment for the first generation of Israel's people who came out of Egypt.
So, before he died, Moses preached to the people of the second generation of Exodus what God is like, and we can see that he was teaching the people to live by the word.
In the name of the Lord, I ask in the name of the Lord that the grace of God that Moses is emphasizing today will be engraved in the hearts of me and all the saints.
Go to Word>>
Today, Moses confesses about God through the words of this text:
First, it says that God “has made his people a portion and an inheritance.”
If we look at the words of verse 9,
“The portion of the LORD is his people, and Jacob is his chosen inheritance.”
In this verse, the word “proportion” means “a piece of land or a thing allocated by lot”.
This verse tells us that the people of Israel were chosen by God out of the world to be God's people.
According to Galatians 1:15,
“But he who took me from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace.”
The apostle Paul confesses.
It is through God's election that we are saved by believing in Jesus.
Not only Paul, but we are also children of God because God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world.
Therefore, since we are God's chosen people, we must live a holy life as God's people, the life God wants us to live.
Also, the word “inheritance” in the text means “that you have made it God’s own.”
According to John 17:6,
“I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world; they were yours, and you gave it to me, and they kept your word.”
Says.
Therefore, it indicates that the saints belong to God, and the Lord of the saints is Jesus Christ.
This means that we, who have become God's inheritance, will never perish.
According to 2 Corinthians 4:8-9,
“We are tormented on every side, and we are stricken, but not crushed; we are persecuted, but not forsaken; we are thrown down, but not destroyed.”
is saying,
In Deuteronomy 28:8,
“The LORD will command you to bless your storehouse and all the work of your hands, and you will be blessed in the land the LORD your God is giving you.”
He is emphasizing that God is responsible for the saints who become God's portion and inheritance.
Therefore, as saints, we must become saints who remember the grace of God who made us a portion and an inheritance.
Second, God is said to be “the God who protects his people.”
If we look at verse 10,
“The Lord found him in the wasteland, in the howling wilderness, and he guarded him, he guarded him, he kept him like the pupil of his eye.”
I did.
There are many ferocious animals, wild beasts, and vipers in the wilderness, and it is dangerous and hot during the day and cold at night, which can lead to death from diseases such as fever and colds.
And because there is no water, they are thirsty.
In this wilderness, God protected Israel for 40 years.
For this reason, the Israelites lived in the wilderness for 40 years, and no one died because there was no water, no food, no clothes, no place to sleep.
It was simply that he disobeyed God's word and died as a result of God's discipline.
In this way, God protects the people he loves, but he protects them “as the eyes of the eye.”
It means that God remembers, protects, and protects people who obey God's word and please Him.
As long as my little ones know their parents, who are always by my side, I am not afraid to meet anyone.
Even when fighting with children who are much bigger than you, knowing that your parents are with you is the same as being free to fight.
According to Hebrews 4:16,
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
We are saints living in this world like the wilderness.
In order to receive God's helping grace in these conditions and circumstances, we must become saints who come before the throne of God through Jesus Christ every day.
Also in Psalm 32:6,
“Through this all the devout shall have an opportunity to meet the Lord, and pray unto the Lord; verily, even if the flood overflows, it will not reach him.”
He said that no matter what difficulties we face like a flood, if we get the opportunity to meet the Lord and become prayerful saints, all the flood events will not overflow us.
In the name of the Lord, I ask that you become believers who enjoy this grace of God today.
Third, God calls us “a God who has been trained like an eagle.”
Look at verse 11 of the text.
“As an eagle disturbs its nest, flutters over its young, spreads out its wings to catch them, and carries them on its wings.”
Moses said that God's way of refining Israel was like an eagle refining its young.
Eagles train their young in the nest to soar through the skies by destroying their nests on cliffs or tall trees when their young have grown to a certain degree.
In this way, God also gives some severe trials and sufferings to his people to refine them.
To receive refinement is ‘It shows the grace of God, who seems to kill, but makes life alive, seems to have abandoned it, but sustains it, and seems to be ruined, but makes it prosperous.
Looking at the words of James 1:2-4,
“Consider it all joy, my present mates, when you face trials of various kinds, for you know that the trial of your faith produces perseverance, so that perseverance may be perfected, so that you may be complete and complete, lacking in anything.”
You must realize that God is the one who trains to bless the saints by making them humble, to bless them by being perfect and equipped, and to make them completely depend on God alone.
All of these are the appearance of a blessed saint.
At the end of the speech>>
Organize your words.
Today, as Moses faces the end of the wilderness, he is teaching many of the Israelites the image of God that he experienced in the wilderness.
The image of God Moses was talking about was, in a word, the one who kept Israel “like the pupil of an eye”.
Even now, our God protects us like the pupil of the eye and recognizes us as God's portion and inheritance, and for this, He strengthens us by refining us.
In the name of the Lord, I pray that the grace of God who keeps us like a movement during this time may be fully experienced in all of our members and families.
