목양말씀암송 (34) 하나님만이 당신의 인도자 이십니다 (시편 23편 3절)

 

시편 23:3 내 영혼을 소생시키시고 자기 이름을 위하여 의의 길로 인도하시는도다 (개역개정) 23:3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. (NIV)

23:3 God met David’s directional needs. Sheep are prone to wander and become lost; they need guidance. Many cars today have navigational systems to warn you to return to the right road when you deviate. Through his Word and his Spirit, God leads us along the right paths in life—and reroutes us when we foolishly become wayward. Why? For his name’s sake—that is, so that others can hear us say, “My God has brought me here.” 하나님께서는 다윗의 갈 길을 인도하십니다. 양은 방황하고 길을 잃는 경향이 있습니다. 그들은 인도가 필요합니다. 오늘날 많은 자동차에는 이탈할 때에 올바른 도로로 돌아오도록 경고하는 네비게이션 시스템이 있습니다. 하나님은 그의 말씀과 성령을 통해 우리의 삶을 올바른 길로 인도하시고 어리석게 길을 잃을 때 우리의 경로를 바꾸십니다. 왜 그렇습니까? 그분은 “자기 이름을 위하여” 그렇게 하십니다. 즉 그렇게 하심으로써, 다른 사람들이 우리로 부터 “하나님께서 나를 여기까지 인도하셨습니다”라고 말하는 것을 들을 수 있도록 하기 위해서입니다.

아버지 하나님, 지금까지 인도하여 주신 하나님께 감사드립니다. 수 많은 어려움과 역경들 속에서도 하나님께서 포기하지 않으시고 저를 인도하셨습니다. 하나님이야 말로 저를 통해 영광 받으실 유일한 분이십니다. 저의 인생 끝날까지 저를 붙들어 주시고, 주님이 기뻐하시는 의의 길로 인도하여 주시옵소서. 예수님의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘.
