Always acknowledge God(proverbs 3:1-10)

                                        Always acknowledge God(proverbs 3:1-10)

 

An old father, who had a son who was married and lived in a city, lived in the country. My grandmother, who became my wife, passed away and lived alone. My son keeps persuading my father to come to Seoul. My son's been recommending it so much... My father pretended not to be able to win and packed up and came up to the city. I live at my son's house soon, and every day is free and lonely. How frustrating must it have been for a grandfather who had been wandering around in the country to sit in an apartment in the city? Wasn't it like a prison without bars.
Moreover, there was something more unbearable. Looking at the atmosphere in the house, there was a hierarchy there. The highest authority in son's family? When I saw who No. 1 was, it was my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law is the best. When the kids are watching TV and their daughter-in-law yells, they all go into their rooms. My son also drinks and talks, and when my daughter-in-law says a word, he goes into the room and sleeps. My daughter-in-law is the best in the family.
Second, I saw who No. 2 is and it's my grandson. Even without the world, my grandson is the best. Having that one son, raising it to no more... There's no one in the world to touch. And I was wondering who was the third? It's his son. His son is number three in the house. And I saw who number 4 is and it's a puppy. The dog is being treated. I saw who No.5 is, and it was a maid. And I asked him who No.6 was, and he was himself. This grandfather was number six.
And when she came back from working outside, she asked the maid, what would she have asked? Did you feed your child or did you give your dog lunch? But I never asked him if he was serious. No matter what you eat, you don't get recognized for what you're an old man. He's just living in a corner of the room... I'm not properly recognized as a family member. I'm not treated as an adult either.

So this grandfather was so heartbroken and hurtful. I couldn't live there anymore. So one day, I pack quietly and go down to the countryside. And I write a letter to my son. I wrote very simply on the note. What did you write? It says, "Goodbye, no.3, no.6!" The father could no longer be in a family where his daughter-in-law refused to recognize him as her father-in-law.

2. Dear Saints, how about us? Who is the person we respect best? We live with God in the house of our hearts.
What do you think God, who is in the house of our hearts, will say to us today? Won't you be sad and sad like Ye-hwa's father today? What number is God to you?


Is God often not number three?
Is No. 1 what I want to do? No. 2 what I have to do. No. 3 barely meets God?

If I do whatever I want to do, if I finish all my business and I don't have time afterwards...Don't you meet God if you can afford it?
Isn't God number three when hard things happen? I'll try it on my own... If that's the case, why don't you ask someone near you to help you, and when you can't, why don't you call God?
 
A) We must ask Jehovah with all our heart.

I mean verse 5 and 6 says, ‘5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 

6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.’

Dear friends, when we acknowledge and serve God as our God in all things, I hope that God will surely guide our way of life and make our way prosperous.
So what do you mean, after all, that we recognize him in everything?

First of all, we acknowledge God, which means we acknowledge his will.
If you look at section 3:1-10 of the text today, you can see that it is largely divided into three parts as sections 1-4, 5-8, 9, and 10.

Through verses 5-8 among them, God is telling us not to rely on his wisdom or wisdom in everything, but only to acknowledge God only.
And the first part, verse 1 through verse 4, emphasizes through the word that recognizing God's law, God's command, is to live in recognition of God.
Dear Saints, we can see that if someone recognizes someone, he or she will.

* For example, while working at home, my daughter-in-law changed the refrigerator because it was too old. When she changed the refrigerator, she didn't even discuss it with her mother-in-law and just changed it. When my mother-in-law came back from the senior citizen center, she changed her refrigerator and found another one. So when my mother-in-law saw it, she asked, "Oh, what is this refrigerator?"
The daughter-in-law replied, "Mom, I changed the old one because didn’t work anymore." My mother-in-law kept asking. "How did you do with old one?" And she said, "I threw ot away." "Hey, man, that's what I've been using for 30 years. How can you throw it away so easily? Still, you should have discussed it with your mother-in-law!" she lamented.
What was the problem? The daughter-in-law didn't approve of her mother-in-law very much. I should have discussed it with my mother-in-law at least once before changing the refrigerator. It was because the discussion was about recognizing her as a mother-in-law.

So are we. When I decide on something important in my life, I make up my mind, I do whatever I want, and when things go wrong, I go and say, "God, what do we do? You have to help, God. I believe you will help, God." If you say that... What would God say?

"Hey, did you ever discuss it with me? Why don't you say, "You've done it yourself!"

Dear friends, God is a man of character, so when we do not rely on God, and when we are at our disposal, he never comes forward first. When we put down everything we have and acknowledge God as God and ask him for his will, then he is God who works as a secretary.

The co-translation of 'You acknowledge him in all things' is interpreted as this. "Ask God for everything."
After all, we acknowledge God in all things, which means "Ask God" to all of us. Ask God if this is right now, if it's wrong, or what to do. This is the life of recognizing God as God.

Who comes to mind when you think of someone who is good at asking God? It's David.
How could David be the great king of Israel in a simple shepherd? What was the reason for being recognized as a man who was in God's heart? He was a man who always asked God.
Let’s take a look at book of 2 Samuel 2:1. It happened after this that David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah?”

And the Lord said to him, “Go up.”

David said, “Where shall I go up?”

And He said, “To Hebron.”

1 Chronicles 14:10 says, ‘10 And David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?”

The Lord said to him, “Go up, for I will deliver them into your hand.”

When enemy approaches as a king it is so obvious that king’s job is to fight against them, but David asks God what to do with this before he take an action. This shows that David was a man who relied on God and acknowledged him as first in his heart.

But on the other hand, we can also meet someone who faces a miserable end of life without asking God.
1 Chronicles 10:13 says, ‘13 So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had [d]committed against the Lord, because he did not keep the word of the Lord, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance.’
Why does Saul, the obedient man who was first called by God and became the first king of Israel, end up with a miserable life? Instead of asking God, he went to the shaman and asked God's will.

In the end, the Bible clearly shows us the stark difference between those who lived by asking God about everything and those who did not ask God.

How can I hear God's response?
But today's problem is that when God gives us the will of God, and not exact words like "Yes, go to Hebron, or go to Zoell," as in the old days of Abraham or David.

Today God is the manual through 66 volumes of the New Old Testament? Reply to us with Of course, it's an exceptionally special occasion today. They also show God's will in a miraculous way. But the solution to our problem is usually in the old and new words. That's why the Bible is so precious.

That's why God is emphasizing what you have written in the words of verse 1 through verse 4.
In verse 1-2, he says, ‘1 My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, 

2 for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. ‘

In verse 3 and 4, he says, "3 Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. 

4 So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. 

" He says that if you always keep close to God's word and obey him, and have a kind heart, God will gain longevity, peace, and honor.

My beloved saints, though the number is small, which nation is the wisest and greatest in world history? We all talk about the Jewish people in common. Why is that? Is it hard for Jewish people to live as they say today from an early age? Because it was a nation. (Although it's very unfortunate that she rejected Messiah)

Passing the time of great suffering when 6 million Jews were slaughtered, the Jewish people stood up and admired the history of the world, leading the world proudly. The Jewish people have won the most Nobel Prizes in history and still control the economy and politics of the world.

Did this happen by accident? No, the Jews are the most obedient people who have taught the Bible from an early age. It is said that Jewish people put honey on the Bible when their children grow up a little and start to discern their own interests. Then, open the Bible and let it suck honey. This Bible means the sweetest honey of life.

They actually hang the words on their necklaces, put them all over the house, read them, and memorize them. In the end, God's word kept and guided the Jewish people who were close to God's word, making them the first nation in the world. Hallelujah!

This is what he said about his success. "I grew up in an environment of poverty and education. But God has always taken care of my burden. I believe that success is not in human knowledge, but in attitude toward God."


CONCLUSIONS)
Everyone, our attitude toward God is important. Let us be saints who do not make our God in the house of our hearts like old men in the back room. When God is always God, when we acknowledge everything, and when we ask God, God will finally show and show through our lives that you are our lives.

What did you say is it that God is acknowledged as God?

Living a life with clarity believing that God’s decision is right, so leaving it up to God. Ask him for direction and question, so he bless us and give us inspiration.
Our God gave us 66 volumes of the New Testament, and in the end, living according to this word is living according to God's will, and that life is the most blessed life. Remember the great blessings God have prepared for the follower of God’s word.
