사자같이 담대함을 가지고 살게 될 수 있는 길
2025.6.14
(잠28:1-28)
1 The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion. 2 When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintains order. 3 A ruler who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no crops. 4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law resist them. 5 Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it fully. 6 Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse. 7 He who keeps the law is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father. 8 He who increases his wealth by exorbitant interest amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor. 9 If anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayers are detestable. 10 He who leads the upright along an evil path will fall into his own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance. 11 A rich man may be wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has discernment sees through him. 12 When the righteous triumph, there is great elation; but when the wicked rise to power, men go into hiding. 13 He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. 14 Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble. 15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked man ruling over a helpless people. 16 A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment, but he who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long life. 17 A man tormented by the guilt of murder will be a fugitive till death; let no one support him. 18 He whose walk is blameless is kept safe, but he whose ways are perverse will suddenly fall. 19 He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. 20 A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished. 21 To show partiality is not good--yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread. 22 A stingy man is eager to get rich and is unaware that poverty awaits him. 23 He who rebukes a man will in the end gain more favor than he who has a flattering tongue. 24 He who robs his father or mother and says, "It's not wrong"--he is partner to him who destroys. 25 A greedy man stirs up dissension, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper. 26 He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe. 27 He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses. 28 When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding; but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.
1절
‘The wicked man flees though no one pursues,
but the righteous are as bold as a lion’
사악(邪惡)한 사람은 쫓는 이 없어도 쫓기고
의(義)로운 삶을 사는 자는 사자같이 자신감(自信感)있는 생(生)을 살게 된다는 말씀
4절을 보면
의(義)로운 삶을 산다는 것은
하나님 주신 율법(律法)대로 살아가는 것
성경대로 살아가는 것
6절에 보면
가난하게 살지언정
흠없이...
그러니까 말씀(=성경)대로 살아가는 것이 복이라는 말씀을 본다
14절을 보면
‘Blessed is the man who always fears the LORD’라 한다
하나님을 경외(敬畏)하는 삶 , 성경말씀을 존중엄격(尊重嚴格)히 여기는 삶
그러한 사람이 복(福)있는 사람이라는 말씀
늘 그렇지만
늘 성경독청묵기적(聖經讀聽黙祈適) 왕제중양(往弟重養) 언지신행일치(言知信行一致)의 삶을 추구(追求)하지만
나는 늘 목마른 사슴...
26절
‘ He who trusts in himself is a fool’
자신(自身)을 과신(過信)하지 말라시는 하나님의 말씀
오늘도 아멘!
*****************
♬ 긍휼을 바라는 마음
주님 노력은 하지만
아직도 내 가슴은 새 가슴
아직도 사자같은 용맹이 없는 것을 보면
주를 경외함 말씀의 삶
여전히 부족인가 봄니다
세월은 유수와 같이 흐르는데
이 땅의 삶 기회는 자꾸만 감소되는데
저는 언제나 온 맘 다해
이젠 됐다... 할 수 있을까요?
이젠 됐다 이젠 됐다 하게 될까요?
주님 손 잡고 흘려보낸 세월
그러면서 육신은 푸르름을 지나 가을을 맞이하게 되었는데
이제는 무언가 열매를 주께 드리고 싶지만
아직도 제 주머니에는 든 것이 없으니
아~ 어쩌면 좋아요 어찌하면 좋을까요?
오늘도 미명에 눈을 떠
애달픈 심정이 되어
주님의 긍휼을 바라는 마음으로
이렇게 편지를 씁니다
나의 주 나의 하나님 나의 신망애님께
