장애물들을 두려워 말라

장애물들을 두려워 말라

하나님의 사업의 전진에 장애물들이 나타날 것이다. 그러나 두려워 말라. 

만왕의 왕, 언약을지키시는 우리 하나님의 전능에는 부드러운 목자의 온유와 보호가 결합되어 있다. 

아무것도그분의 길을 방해할 수 없다. 그분의 능력은 절대적이다. 

그러므로 그것은 당신의 백성들에대한 그분의 약속을 분명히 성취시켜 주신다는 보증이 된다. 

그분께서는 당신의 사업의 전진을 막는 모든 방해물을 제거하실 수 있다. 

그분께서는 모든 어려움을 제거하는 수단을 가지고 계시므로 

그분을 섬기고 그분께서 사용하시는 수단을 존중하는 자들을 건져내실 수 있다. 

그분의 자비와 사랑은 무한하며, 그분의 언약은 변하지 않는다.

그분의 사업의 원수들의 계획은 확고하고 잘 세워진 것처럼 보일 것이다. 

그러나 그분께서는그 계획들 중 가장 강한 것을 전복시킬 수 있다. 

그리고 그분께서 우리의 믿음이 충분히 시험을 받았다는 것과 

우리가 그분께로 가까이 가서 그분을 우리의 고문으로 삼고 있다는 것을 보실 때, 

당신의 시간과 방법을 따라 그분께서는 이 일을 하실 것이다.

가장 어두운 날에, 외관상 너무도 위협적인 때에, 두려워하지 말라. 

그분께서는 당신의 뜻을이루고 계시며, 당신의 백성들을 위하여 모든 것을 호전시키고 계신다. 

그분을 사랑하고 섬기는 자들의 힘은 날마다 새로워질 것이다. 

그분의 총명이 그들의 봉사에 주어져, 그들은 그분의 목적을 이루는 일에 실수하지 않게 될 것이다.

하나님의 사업에는 낙담이 존재해서는 안 된다. 

우리의 믿음은 담당하도록 주어진 압박을 견디어야 한다. 

하나님께서는 당신의 종들에게 필요한 모든 힘을 그들에게 주실 수 있으시며 즐겨 주고자 하신다. 

그분께서는 당신을 신뢰하는 자들의 가장 큰 기대 이상으로 이루어 주실것이다. 

그분께서는 그들의 여러 가지 필요가 요구하는 지혜를 그들에게 주실 것이다.

Fear not Obstacles

Obstacles to the advancement of the work of God will appear; but fear not. To the omnipotence of the King of Kings, our covenant-keeping God unites the gentleness and care of a tender shepherd. 

Nothing can stand in His way. His power is absolute, and it is the pledge of the sure fulfillment of His promises to His people. He can remove all obstructions to the advancement of His work. 

He has means for the removal of every difficulty, that those who serve Him and respect the means He employs may be delivered. His goodness and love are infinite, and His covenant is unalterable.

The plans of the enemies of His work may seem to be firm and well established, but He can overthrow the strongest of these plans, and in His own time and way He will do this, when He sees that our faith has been sufficiently tested and that we are drawing near to Him and making Him our counselor.

In the darkest days, when appearances seem so forbidding, fear not. Have faith in God. He is working out His will, doing all things well in behalf of His people. 

The strength of those who love and serve Him will be renewed day by day. His understanding will be placed at their service, that they may not err in the carrying out of His purposes.

There is to be no despondency in God’s service. Our faith is to endure the pressure brought to bear upon it. 

God is able and willing to bestow upon His servants all the strength they need. He will more than fulfill the highest expectations of those who put their trust in Him. He will give them the wisdom that their varied necessities demand.
