나쁜 인간들의 잘됨을 보며 불평이 생길 경우가 있다
2024.10.3
(욥21:1-34)
1 Then Job replied: 2 "Listen carefully to my words; let this be the consolation you give me. 3 Bear with me while I speak, and after I have spoken, mock on. 4 "Is my complaint directed to man? Why should I not be impatient? 5 Look at me and be astonished; clap your hand over your mouth. 6 When I think about this, I am terrified; trembling seizes my body. 7 Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power? 8 They see their children established around them, their offspring before their eyes. 9 Their homes are safe and free from fear; the rod of God is not upon them. 10 Their bulls never fail to breed; their cows calve and do not miscarry. 11 They send forth their children as a flock; their little ones dance about. 12 They sing to the music of tambourine and harp; they make merry to the sound of the flute. 13 They spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace. 14 Yet they say to God, 'Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways. 15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain by praying to him?' 16 But their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stand aloof from the counsel of the wicked. 17 "Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out? How often does calamity come upon them, the fate God allots in his anger? 18 How often are they like straw before the wind, like chaff swept away by a gale? 19 It is said,'God stores up a man's punishment for his sons.' Let him repay the man himself, so that he will know it! 20 Let his own eyes see his destruction; let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 21 For what does he care about the family he leaves behind when his allotted months come to an end? 22 "Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since he judges even the highest? 23 One man dies in full vigor, completely secure and at ease, 24 his body well nourished, his bones rich with marrow. 25 Another man dies in bitterness of soul, never having enjoyed anything good. 26 Side by side they lie in the dust, and worms cover them both. 27 "I know full well what you are thinking, the schemes by which you would wrong me. 28 You say, 'Where now is the great man's house, the tents where wicked men lived?' 29 Have you never questioned those who travel? Have you paid no regard to their accounts-- 30 that the evil man is spared from the day of calamity, that he is delivered from the day of wrath? 31 Who denounces his conduct to his face? Who repays him for what he has done? 32 He is carried to the grave, and watch is kept over his tomb. 33 The soil in the valley is sweet to him; all men follow after him, and a countless throng goes before him. 34 "So how can you console me with your nonsense? Nothing is left of your answers but falsehood!"
욥의 소발을 향한 오늘의 언급을 보면서
욥처럼 강하게
오랫동안
극도의 고난을 겪다보면
인간이기에
믿음이 좋다는 평판을 들어왔다 하더라도
하나님의 섭리에 대한
이해(理解)가 손상(損傷)되어
불평(不平)이 나올 수도 있겠다...싶다
나는 오로지 주님의 마음에 합한자가 되려고 애써 왔는데...
어찌하여 온갖 거짓과 죄악을 밥먹듯하는 사람들은
만사성(萬事成) 부귀영화(富貴榮華) 건강(健康) 평안평강(平安平康) 자손대대(子孫代代)
아무런 걱정없이 살아가는 것 같으냐는 불평
믿음이 좋다는 평판을 들어왔다 하더라도
하나님의 섭리에 대한
이해(理解)가 손상(損傷)되어
불평(不平)이 나올 수도 있겠다...싶다
분명 하나님은
사필귀정(事必歸正)
공의(公義)로우신 속성(屬性)대로
결국 그리하실 것이라는 사실을 알면서도
나의 뇌리(腦裏)와
나의 육성(肉性)은
그 입장을 달리할 때가 있을 것 같다
(잠24:1-2)
1 너는 악인의 형통함을 부러워하지 말며 그와 함께 있으려고 하지도 말지어다 2 그들의 마음은 강포를 품고 그들의 입술은 재앙을 말함이니라
(시37:1-2)
1 악을 행하는 자들 때문에 불평하지 말며 불의를 행하는 자들을 시기하지 말지어다 2 그들은 풀과 같이 속히 베임을 당할 것이며 푸른 채소 같이 쇠잔할 것임이로다
(시1:4-6)
4 악인들은 그렇지 아니함이여 오직 바람에 나는 겨와 같도다 5 그러므로 악인들은 심판을 견디지 못하며 죄인들이 의인들의 모임에 들지 못하리로다 6 무릇 의인들의 길은 여호와께서 인정하시나 악인들의 길은 망하리로다
(시37:38)
38 범죄자들은 함께 멸망하리니 악인의 미래는 끊어질 것이나
(잠16:4)
4 여호와께서 온갖 것을 그 쓰임에 적당하게 지으셨나니 악인도 악한 날에 적당하게 하셨느니라
알면서도
알면서도...!!!
