보이지 않는 위험
야고보서 1:13~25
UNSEEN DANGER | |||||
Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. -James 1:14 | |||||
When I was a young child, our family escaped near tragedy. Most of the main appliances in the house, as well as the furnace, were fueled by natural gas, but a small leak in one of the gas lines put our lives at risk. As the gas poured into our little house, our family was overcome by the lethal fumes and we lost consciousness. Had we not been discovered by a neighbor who happened to stop by for a visit, we all could have been killed by this dangerous, unseen enemy. The toxic realities of temptation and the weaknesses of our own human frailty can endanger our lives and relationships. Unlike the natural gas in my childhood home, however, these unseen dangers do not come from outside of us-they reside within us. James wrote, “Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed” (James 1:14). that prevent us from seeing our own weaknesses, can lead to toxic choices that ruin us. It is only by submitting to God as He shows us our hearts in His Word (vv.23-25) that we can live a life that pleases the Master. -Bill Crowder | |||||
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart; Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move; Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art, And make me love Thee as I ought to love. -Croly | |||||
The unseen Spirit of God is the greatest protection
