언제나 어느때나 기다리시는 아버지 하나님
2025.3.11
(시107:1-43)
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say this--those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, 3 those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. 4 Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. 5 They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. 6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 7 He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle. 8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men, 9 for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. 10 Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom, prisoners suffering in iron chains, 11 for they had rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High. 12 So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help. 13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. 14 He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their chains. 15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men, 16 for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron. 17 Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities. 18 They loathed all food and drew near the gates of death. 19 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. 20 He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave. 21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men. 22 Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy. 23 Others went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters. 24 They saw the works of the LORD, his wonderful deeds in the deep. 25 For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. 26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away. 27 They reeled and staggered like drunken men; they were at their wits' end. 28 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. 29 He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. 30 They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. 31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men. 32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders. 33 He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground, 34 and fruitful land into a salt waste, because of the wickedness of those who lived there. 35 He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs; 36 there he brought the hungry to live, and they founded a city where they could settle. 37 They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest; 38 he blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish. 39 Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity and sorrow; 40 he who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste. 41 But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks. 42 The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths. 43 Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great love of the LORD.
오늘의 시편의 내용 속에서 발견되는 반복적 표현
‘they cried to the LORD’는
4번이나 반복됨을 발견한다
그 네 번이라는 숫자는
아마도 ‘언제든지’라는 의미를 담아
하나님 표현하게 하신 것이 아닌가... 하는 생각을 갖게한다
마18:22 ‘일곱 번을 일흔 번까지도’의 예수님 표현이
생각난다
이는 490번의 의미가 아니듯... 오늘의 본문속 ‘4’라는 숫자 역시...
하나님의 사랑...
이해할 수 없는...
이해되지 않는 사랑
그래서 인간들은 하나님의 사랑을 아가페(agape)로 구별짖기도 했는데...
부모자식간(父母子息間)의 사랑 스톨에(Storge)의 사랑 역시 그랬었다
그런데 지금은 여기저기서 그 사랑이 무너지고 있음을 발견한다
2022년 기준으로,
아동학대 사례 중 부모가 가해자인 경우는 전체의 82.7%
아동학대 사건 27,971건 중 약 23,139건이 부모에 의해 발생했다는 보고
2016년~2020
부모에게 폭력을 행사한 사건 54건
천륜(天倫)이 무너지고 있음을 알게한다
(딤전4:1-2)
1 그러나 성령이 밝히 말씀하시기를 후일에 어떤 사람들이 믿음에서 떠나 미혹하는 영과 귀신의 가르침을 따르리라 하셨으니
2 자기 양심이 화인을 맞아서 외식함으로 거짓말하는 자들이라
요삼1:2에는
인간이 잘되는 길은
영혼(靈魂) 잘됨의 유무(有無)에 있다 가르쳐 주고 있는데...
탈성경(脫聖經) 탈 하나님의 세태(世態)가
어떻게 망가지는지를
여실(如實)히 보여주는 현실...
오늘의 시편처럼
하나님께 돌아오면
언제든지 용서할 준비가 되어있다시는 하나님의 마음을 인생들이 받아들였으면 좋으련만...
주여!
어찌하오리까?
성경독청묵기적왕제중양(聖經讀聽黙祈適往弟重養) 언지신행일치(言知信行一致)하는 인생들을 만들어야 하겠는데...
불나방 같은...
시49:12,20 멸망하는 짐승같은 속인(俗人)들을
어찌하면 좋겠습니까....주여!

주님의 불꽃
[Verse]
캄캄한 밤의 메아리처럼
내 기도는 허공을 울려요
불쌍한 영혼 돌아오길
주님 손길 간절히 원해요
[Verse 2]
불나방처럼 날아가는 삶
멸망의 길로 빠져드는 발걸음
주여 그대 긍휼을 원해요
은혜로 그들을 감싸 주소서
[Chorus]
성령이여 이 땅에 오소서
불길처럼 새롭게 빛나소서
악한 영들 소멸하시고
찬양으로 다시금 나아갑니다
[Bridge]
주님의 불꽃 하늘에 퍼지네
새로운 희망에 눈을 뜨게 해
은총의 바람 그들 감싸길
주여 우리의 간절한 부르짖음
[Verse 3]
넘어져 울부짖는 영혼들
길 잃은 양처럼 방황하는 순간
성령의 불을 내려 주셔서
새 역사를 이루게 하소서
[Chorus]
성령이여 이 땅에 오소서
불길처럼 새롭게 빛나소서
악한 영들 소멸하시고
찬양으로 다시금 나아갑니다
