목양말씀암송 (43) 상대방을 따뜻하게 대하는 것은, 당신 자신에게도 유익합니다 (잠언 11장 17절)

 

잠언 11:17 인자한 자는 자기의 영혼을 이롭게 하고 잔인한 자는 자기의 몸을 해롭게 하느니라 (개역개정) 11:17 A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself. (NIV)

The Lord calls us to do what is good and right, not only because godly living reflects His own holy character, but also because it benefits and blesses us. Living by God’s Word is the healthy way to live. 주님은 경건한 삶이 그분의 거룩한 성품을 반영할 분 아니라, 우리에게 유익하고 복을 주기 때문에 선하고 옳은 일을 하도록 우리를 부르십니다. 하나님의 말씀대로 사는 것이 건강하게 사는 길 입니다.

Charles F. Stanley, The Charles F. Stanley Life Principles Bible: New King James Version (Nashville, TN: Nelson Bibles, 2005), Pr 11:17.

아버지 하나님, 오늘도 말씀의 길을 걸어가기 원합니다. 다른 이들에게 따뜻하고 인자하기 원하며 사랑이 넘치기 원합니다. 주님의 뜻이기에, 그리고 그것 자체가 저의 영혼과 육체에 유익이 되기에 그렇게 살아가기 원합니다. 주님께서 오늘 하루도 저의 마음을 인도하여 주시옵소서. 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.
