Why Lazy Lilies are Beautiful
Contents
Almost everyone on this earth would like to live a life free from worries and anxiety. If so, please listen to the voice of the Lord speaking to us today.
Ⅰ. We must have the wisdom to distinguish between God's work and mine.
First of all, who am I? You need to know. God's Word says that 'extending the length of life and protecting my body' is not the realm of humans. Only God can control the life that humans fear so much. That's why the Lord said, "Do not be anxious for your life or for your body." The reason the crows of the sky and the lilies of the field are irresponsible in caring for them is because they trust that God will take care of them. On the other hand, people work hard all night long to take care of themselves. But they distrust the care of God already deposited for them. So, crows and lilies are happy, but humans always live in worry and anxiety.
The reason God cares for our lives and everything we need is because He is our Father. A parent deserves to take care of the needs of his child. It is only natural that God cares for us. God's job is to take care of my most basic needs and my life. To those of us who are living in anxiety and worry to protect our lives, He said, “What shall you eat, do not ask, and do not be anxious.” I'm just ordering you to stop trying and worrying about life for the sake of life. Because it is the realm of God. God rebukes us for not trusting in Him and says, “O you of little faith.” The reason lilies enjoy so much glory and beauty today is because of God's care. Also, the reason why crows fly happily and happily in the fields is because of God's care.
Ⅱ. Bet your life on the purpose and reason for our existence.
There is one thing the lily needs to do, which, without the slightest toil, is in God's care, with greater glory and beauty than Solomon. It blooms and exists in the field according to the will of God who created it. It is to praise and reveal the fact that it is God who made you so beautiful. Without knowing God, we have been obsessed with protecting ourselves. However, he said that it is God who fills life and what we need for life. Now that we have received that promise, there are things that we should seek and strive for. It is “to save the kingdom of God.” If God sustains our lives and provides us with what we need, we are told to “work hard to save the kingdom of God and live.” That is the reason and purpose of our existence.
Just like the crow and the lily, I live by revealing the glorious name of God in my life and all over the world. God wants His glory to be shown to the world through me. That is the only purpose we live for. We must leave the issue of food and living to God, and we must live to reveal God's name to the world. God's high call to seek and live the kingdom of God has been commanded to all people here. No one is an exception. Is there a nobler life than living for the kingdom of God and his glory than the humble life of seeking worldly things and living for one's own family and one's own life? How beautiful it is to live a life that reveals the name of God to all the earth through me.
I hope to live for the Kingdom of God in 2011. And live serving God's kingdom, the church. Will you not become a disciple for the kingdom of God, spread the flag of the cross all over the earth, and live the name of God in all the nations? God is always responsible for his people.
