하나님의 인도하심 구하기: 나를 향한 하나님의 뜻 이해하기

### 신의 인도 구하기: 삶에서 하나님의 뜻을 분별하는 방법
* 🙏 하나님께서 원하시는 방향을 잘 몰라 갈림길에 서 있다면, **"하나님께서 무엇을 원하시는지 알고 싶다면 그분께 물어보면 기꺼이 알려주실 것"**이라는 말씀을 기억하세요.
* 💡 의심하는 마음은 **'바람에 밀리고 밀려오는 바다의 물결'**에 비유되어 의사 결정의 불확실성을 초래하므로, 하나님으로부터 지혜를 얻기 위한 핵심은 **믿음으로 구하는 것**입니다.
* 🌊 파도가 예측할 수 없는 것처럼, 자신의 이해에 기대면 혼란을 초래할 수 있으므로 **하나님의 지혜에 의지**해야 합니다.
* 📖 잠언 3:5-6은 **"네 마음을 다하여 여호와를 신뢰하고 네 명철에 의지하지 말라"**고 말하며 하나님의 인도를 구하는 것이 중요함을 강조합니다.
* 👶 어린이는 우리가 신앙 안에서 가져야 할 호기심의 모범을 보여줍니다. **'왜'라고 묻는 아이처럼** 우리도 우리 삶에서 하나님의 목적을 이해하려고 노력해야 합니다.
* 🏠 하나님께 의지하려면 **전적인 헌신**이 필요하며, 넘어질 위험 없이 자신의 이해와 하나님을 동시에 의지할 수는 없습니다.
* ✝ 십자가에서 엄청난 고통을 당하신 예수님은 **하나님을 전적으로 의지하는 우리의 모범**이 되셨으며, 그분의 희생을 통해 우리가 **올바른 결정을 내릴 수 있는 힘**을 얻을 수 있음을 보여 주셨습니다.
* 🌱 궁극적으로 하나님은 **요한복음 10장 10절에 언급된 것처럼 우리를 생명과 풍요로 인도하기를 원하시며**, 그분의 뜻을 구하는 것이 충만한 삶을 위해 매우 중요하다는 사실을 상기시켜 줍니다.

하나님은 믿음으로 구하는 자에게 지혜를 주시고, 인생의 불확실한 결정에서 그들을 인도하십니다.

how to know what God wants you to do. If you have a decision in your life right now where you're like, God, how do I, where do I go, what's the direction that you're leading me in, what do I choose? I'm gonna help you with that because I was reading today, and the Holy Spirit helped me. We were at the beach reading the Living Bible translation. This is a thought-for-thought translation; it's more like a paraphrase. And it was saying this in James chapter one, verse five: If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask him, and he will gladly tell you, for he is always ready to give a bountiful supply of wisdom to all who ask him, and he will not resent it. For six: But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to tell you, for a doubtful mind will be as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind, and every decision you then make will be uncertain as you turn first this way and then that.

if you don't ask with faith, don't expect the Lord to give you a solid answer. How basically just powerful is that word in its just like I feel like he was talking straight to me, and that's what the word of God does, right? It pierces your heart, cuts more than the bone, it cuts straight to the spirit. And um, the part ex when he said yo, every decision you make will be uncertain, that is me. I'm talking every decision I make is uncertain. Every, even if it feels certain, I change my mind afterwards, whether a couple hours later or days, whatever. I do this about every little thing. It's so embarrassing to admit on the internet, but um, my wife's right here and she knows that about me as well. I just, everything. You guys have seen my profile picture change a hundred times, my name on my channel, everything changes. Why? I'm just, I'm like a wave tossed by the wind. There's, there's the cool thing about surfing is there's like regular swell and there's

wind well regular swell is like the energy or surging throughout the water in the ocean, and that's some good waves. There's some good waves and winds well too, but it's different. Windswell is like howling waves off the coast, picking up and flipping these waves and making them do weird things. For example, last week I was paddling for this wave, paddling, paddling, paddling, and I was waiting for the wave to pick me up and move, speed me up, get me on my way, but it didn't do that. I looked to my right and the waves over there. Now that's what happens, they shift last moment. Why? The energy is not coming from beneath, it's coming from an outside source. When you choose to ask God anything, especially for wisdom, without faith, you're like that wind. You're getting your energy from somewhere else. You're not getting that energy focused from the Holy Spirit within, deep within you, deeper than the deepest oceans. It's not coming up this way, it's coming in from an outside

your education, your experiences, what you think is best, and he says, Don't expect to get any solid answer from God if you come like that. You're coming at him wrong. You got to come at him right. But how do we come at him right? It's hard not to be like that wave. There's a verse that my grandma loved. It's Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path. How do we come to God and ask him for the wisdom that James says he wants to give us? He's willing to give us. He won't resent us if we ask. How do we get that? We got to come to him and not lean on our own understanding. We got to lean on his understanding. As long as we're leaning on our understanding, we're being picked up and moved around like a wave tossed by the wind because our understanding is faulty. You know, kids are great at this. My kid today

He was like, you know, arguing with his brother, and I was like, stop arguing with your brother. Just you guys are squabbling over nothing. Stop. And he looked at me, and he goes, why should I? And I was like thinking of every 90s kids movie I watched, and when the parents said stop that, and the kid was like, why should I? And when in the movie, it's disrespectful. The way my son said it was like no, literally like why, why should I? Why? What's the big deal? Why can't I squabble? Why can't I talk to him this way? Why can I argue with him? He really wanted to know what was wrong. Why? Because he's four. At first, I was like, is this a disciplined moment? And then I thought about how he said it, and I was like, he really just wants to know. And kids do that. They don't lean on their understanding the way adults do. I do not like being told what to do. I don't like having to ask for help. Why? I'm insecure.

as heck, and so I'd just rather figure it out on my own and then mess it up, which I do a lot. And so I want to be more like my son because to lean on God means to say, Father, why should I do the things that you're asking me to do? Why did you do things the way you did things? What am I missing here? Asking like that, any kid you meet, their favorite thing to say is why. We need to be like that. I was walking, you know, along these million-dollar homes, and there's these big slippery rocks. There's a shortcut to this beach that we were going to, and I was slipping. And when I slipped, I grabbed the wall of this million-dollar home, and I started to lean on that wall. As I took a couple steps, I'd move my hand and lean again. And I could not lean on my own weight and lean on that wall at the same time. All my weight was leaning on the wall. With God, you can't lean on Him and yourself at the same time.

you're going to choose either lean on his understanding of things or your understanding of things. If you lean on your understanding of things, you're going to slip. Your weight is going to be shifted like that wind pushing that wave, and you're going to slip, and you're going to fall, and it's going to be messy. It's going to be pain and hurt along God's way. There's still going to be some pain, there's going to be some suffering, there's going to be, you know, some hurt there, but the thing is you're going in the right direction. The thing is you are leaning fully on him. You don't have to worry about your understanding. His understanding is guiding you in the right way. He says, If you acknowledge me, I will direct your paths. How do we acknowledge him? This is how you acknowledge him. You're about to make a decision. You step towards what you think is the right way. You need to step, and you're thinking, Okay, yeah, I've been here before. I know

this experience, my education tells me this, the culture tells me this, the world tells me this, the mental health awareness movement tells me this. I'll go this way wrong, that's not acknowledging him, that's acknowledging the world, not the word. To go the right direction, you got to acknowledge the word. Why? I like how it says the living Bible on here. You know who that is? Jesus. He is the living Bible, the word of God made flesh. John chapter 1, 100% man, 100% God, the one who is always here, has no beginning, has no end. Before you were known, before the earth was known, before the universe, he was there. His name is Jesus. He made everything that you can see. He made the things that are helping you see called your eyes. He made everything, and he became flesh. He was born two thousand years ago, and this Bible is him. These words are him. He's the word of God. And so to acknowledge him means to run to him when you're about to slip, when you're about to fall, when you're about to be

flipped upside down by the winds of life. It's because you are acknowledging the wrong things. You're running to those things. You're not running to him. Run to him. Run here, even if it's just in your mind. If you don't have a Bible, this is a Bible that I keep in my car, except when I'm making YouTube videos, and I'm holding it in my hand right now. It's usually in my car because I want to be able to run to it when I'm at the beach, when I'm at the coffee shop, when my wife is going into the store to buy a t-shirt for our kid because we forgot to bring a t-shirt, and he can't go in the store without a t-shirt. And I'm sitting in the car waiting for her to come out with the other kid in the back of the car. I want to be able to run here, not somewhere else. Run here. Don't run where you're comfortable. Don't run to the place that says, I think I know better than God, because although you

would never say that. Although I would never say that outside of my mind, I'm about to say it outside of my mind right now. I think I know better than God at times. That's why I don't lean on Him. That's why I don't ask Him, like James is saying, with full faith. And that's why I'm not. He's not giving me a solid answer because I'm trusting in myself. I'm thinking, God, I kind of know better than you than this. I realize I do this because I do it to my wife. We have a meeting every Thursday, and in that meeting, we talk about the podcast, the next episode of Eamon podcast. And a lot of times, I'll make decisions in my head and then ask her, What do you think we should do about this? And she'll look at me, and she'll know the mood I'm in, and she'll say, You know what? Just do whatever you want to do because you already have a decision that you've made, and I know it's just you're not going to want to hear what I

have to say you're just going to do what you want to do anyway, and I can't tell you how many decisions I've made that have been so bad because I didn't involve her. Why God has put her in my life to point out the fact that, Alex, you don't know everything, and you're horrible at listening. That's about one of the greatest things about my wife, and I'm so glad I learned that. You know, my life changed when Lokolani became a part of the podcast because I saw through the lens of everything I do and how I'm trying to act like I have it all together, and I don't. That's a great way to get hurt, especially in surfing. You know, one of the surfing podcasts I listen to, he says, Go out and look at the waves for minutes upon minutes. Look at the waves, study it. The water is doing something different every single day. Go out there and talk to people. Say, 'Hey, what's that out? What's going on? What's going on out here? How is it today?

What are the conditions? Talk to people why you don't know it all, and if you do, you can get hurt. I've gotten hurt so many times surfing like this. Life is the same way; it's the same exact way. Acknowledge the word of God. Run to it in your mind. What does the word of God say about this? What does Jesus say about this? A great place to run, always, if you don't know a lot of Bible verses, always run to the cross. The cross will give you the wisdom to learn and to live in every situation. Hebrews, the last chapter, talks about this. Think about how he suffered, and you'll know how to go through whatever you're going through. For example, talking about leaning on him. Jesus had no one to lean on when he was on the cross, so you could have the power and the ability to lean on him. If Jesus leaned on anyone, he wouldn't have been the total atoning perfect sacrifice for our sins. The whole thing about the cross was that he was alone going through what he was going.

through, and he was perfect, and he was innocent. He didn't lean on anyone; he leaned completely. We had no one to lean on. My God, my God, why are you forsaking me? He went to lean on God, and God wasn't there. Why? God had turned his face away. The hymn says so that he can look at us with love. The total wrath of God was completely appeased in Jesus. He leaned on no one so we could lean on him. Now we have the ability, we're forgiven, we're seen as perfect and righteous in God's eyes because Jesus rose from the dead. He didn't just die; he rose. If he just died, he wouldn't be a good savior. He not only died and was dead, fully dead, d-e-d dead, but he rose again from the grave, justifying us. Now he stands as the perfect sacrifice and justification for us. When God sees you, he sees Jesus. And so we have him to lean on in our weakness and our mistakes and our poor decisions. We can lean on him.

also this he cares about you on the cross. No one cared about Jesus. Look at his murderers. Look at his people spitting at him, cheering on him, saying, If you saved others, save yourself. No one cared about him, and it looked like the Father didn't care about him. Here's someone that was a preacher, doing miracles, a great man of God, an awesome God. You know, if he was so close to God, where's God now? That's what they were thinking. It seemed like God didn't care. Did God care about Jesus? Of course. But God chose to turn his face away. No one cared about him on the cross so that he could care for us, so he can look at us with care in his heart. He cares about you, and he cares that you move in the right direction, and he wants you to know exactly what he wants you to do. Because the way that he's gonna lead you is gonna always be towards life. Not knowing what God wants you to do is a horrible place to be because that means you're headed towards death.

God will lead you towards life, John 10. The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I've come to give you life and life more abundantly. That's Jesus's promise to us, to give you life, an abundant life at that. He cares about you, so whatever decision you know you made. I mean, think about the fact that Jesus made the decision to go to the cross so that you could be able to have the power to make the right decisions in life. He made that decision in the garden, Mark 14:36. Not my will, your will, Abba Father. If there's any other way, take this cup of suffering from me. Yet not my will, your will be done. Made the decision as he's sweating drops of blood from his forehead under the extreme amount of anguish that he's sweating blood, not sweat, extreme stress. The cup of suffering being poured out on him, and he decides, I'm going through with it. That right there will give you the power to make whatever decision that you're

making and just take a little time. I think that's a big thing. Run to the word of God. Spend time in here before you go to bed, before you know you start your day, whatever it is. Run to the word of God, but also take some time. You know, the Bible tells us not to be slow to speak, quick to listen. That's talking about decisions as well. Be slow to say what decisions you're going to make. Be slow to just make, to just choose, and be slow to listen to how the Lord's leading you to, you know, be slow to see, okay, am I being moved around by a wave right now? Is this energy of the Holy Spirit moving me, or is this just some outside source just flipping me around? What's going on? Um, be slow to that, you know, take a day, sleep on it. Anyway, love you. I hope this helps, and I'll see you in the next one. [Music] [Music] [Music] you

의사 결정에서 하나님의 인도하심 구하기

하나님은 언제나 지혜를 구하는 자에게 지혜를 주실 준비가 되어 계시므로 하나님께 방향을 구하는 것이 중요합니다.

의심하는 마음은 의사 결정의 불확실성을 초래하는 반면, 믿음으로 구하는 것은 확실한 응답을 받는 데 매우 중요합니다.

서핑의 비유는 규칙적인 파도와 바람의 파도의 차이를 강조하며 외부보다는 내면에서 성령의 인도를 구하는 것이 중요하다는 점을 강조합니다.

하나님께 지혜를 구하려면 우리 자신의 이해에 의존하지 않고 그분을 전적으로 신뢰해야 합니다.

아이들은 자연스러운 호기심을 가지고 있으며 종종 "왜"라고 질문하며 하나님께 답을 구합니다.

진정으로 하나님께 의지하려면 우리 자신의 노력을 내려놓고 그분의 인도하심을 전적으로 의지해야 합니다.

이해에 기대기: 하나님을 인정하는 것의 중요성

자신의 이해에 기대면 미끄러지고 넘어져 고통과 상처를 입을 수 있습니다.

하나님과 그분의 말씀을 인정하는 것은 올바른 결정을 내리고 방향을 찾는 데 매우 중요합니다.

하나님의 살아 있는 말씀이신 예수님은 항상 현존하시며 인생의 어려움 속에서 지침을 구할 때 초점을 맞춰야 합니다.

하나님의 인도하심에 대한 신뢰

연사는 하나님을 신뢰하지 못하고 종종 혼자서 결정을 내리는 것이 부정적인 결과로 이어진다는 것을 인정합니다.

그리고 의사 결정에 아내를 참여시키고 아내의 관점에서 배우는 것이 얼마나 중요한지 반성합니다.

연사는 특히 예수님의 십자가 고난의 예를 통해 하나님의 인도와 지혜를 구해야 할 필요성을 강조하면서 서핑과 인생의 유사점을 이끌어냅니다.

예수님은 완전하고 무죄하셨으며 십자가에 못 박히실 때 외면하신 하나님께 전적으로 의지하셨습니다.

그분의 죽음과 부활은 인류에게 용서와 의로움을 주셨고, 우리는 연약함 속에서 그분께 의지할 수 있게 되었습니다.

버림받았다는 느낌에도 불구하고 예수님의 희생은 궁극적으로 우리를 돌보고 인도하여 생명으로 인도하기 위한 것이었습니다.

예수님은 풍요로운 삶을 약속하시고 우리의 결정에 관심을 기울이십니다.

그분의 십자가 희생은 우리가 올바른 선택을 할 수 있도록 힘을 줍니다.

시간을 내어 하나님의 말씀을 구하고 말과 결정을 천천히 하면 하나님의 인도를 분별하는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다.
