We were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel,
Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened
Luke 24:21
Every fact that the disciples stated was right, but the conclusions they drew from those facts were wrong,
Anything that has even a hint of dejection spiritually is always wrong.
If I am depressed or burdened,
I am to blame, not God or anyone else.
내가 우울하거나 부담스럽다면 하나님이나 그 누구도 아닌 내 탓이다.
Dejection stems from one of two souces -
I have either satisfied a lust or I have not had it satisfied. In either case, dejection is the result.
낙담은 두가지 출처 중 하나에서 비롯된다.
정욕을 만족시켰거나 그것을 만족시키지 못했을 때이다.
두 경우 모두 낙담의 결과이다.
Lust means " I must have it at once."
정욕은 "나는 즉시 그것을 가져야 한다"는 뜻이다.
Spirirtual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer. What have I been hoping or trusting God would do?
Is today "the third day" and He has still not done what I expected? Am I therefore justivied in being dejected and in blaming God?
Whenever we insist that God should give us an answer to prayer we are off track.
The purpose of prayer is that we get ahold of God, not of the answer.
It is impossible to be well physically and to be dejected,
because dejection is a sign of sickness.
This is also true spiritually.
Dejection spiritually is wrong, and we are always to blame for it.
We look for visions from heaven and for earthshaking events to see God's power.
Even the fact that we are dejected is proof that we do this.
Yet we never realize that all the time God is at work in our everyday events and in the people around us.
If we will only obey, and do the task that
He has placed closest to us,
we will see Him.
One of the most amazing revelations of God comes to us
when we learn that it is in the everyday things of life
that we realize the magnificent deity of Jesus Christ.
낙담을 너무 가볍게 여겼다.
그럴 수도 있는 일이라 여겼다.
낙담하는 자신을 너무 자책하면 안된다고 생각했다.
그리고 나의 낙담을 방치했다.
낙담은 정욕이라는 걸 오늘 깨달았다.
주님 감사합니다.
오늘의 깨달음에 감사합니다.
