‘영감잃은 아람군대와 영감회복한 나병환자’
본문관찰과 묵상
사마리아 성문입구에서 구걸하던 4명의 나환자는 성안에 먹을것이 없는 것을 알고 아람에 항복하러 갔다. 아람군대는 환청을 듣고 영적인 감각을 잃어 모든 것을 놓고 도망갔다. 완벽하게 무장했어도 영적감감을 잃어 오합지졸이 되었다.
QT를 통하여 듣는 주님의 음성
아람에 항복하러 갔더니 다 도망간 것을 알았다. 마음껏 음식을 먹고 금은 보화를 훔치던 나병환자가 육적인 감각은 없었으나 영적인 감각을 회복했다. ‘우리의 소위가 옳지 못하니’회개하고 기쁜소식을 이스라엘에 전했다.
결단과 적용
지식과 물질과 세상의 성공으로 취하였어도 영적인 감각이 없으면 그들의 마음은 가난하다. 늘 쫓기고 불안하다. 나병환자처럼 육신의 감각도 없고 소속할 곳도 없었지만 영적인 감각을 회복하니 기쁜 소식의 전달자가 되었다. 풍성함속에 감각잃지 않고 없는 가운데서도 영감있는 삶을 살게 하소서! 초심을 잃지 말고 끝까지 영적으로 부요하게 살며 영적인 양식을 나누게 하소서!
‘Spiritless Aram vs Spirit filled Lepers.’
II Kings. 7:3-10
Observation and meditation on the text
The four lepers who lived on by people’s giving alms at the entrance of the city gate in Samaria went to surrender to Aram upon realizing that there was no food in the city. They reached the camp of Aram and found out that they left everything behind them upon hearing hallucinating sound of the enemy’s army. Even though the army of Aram were equipped well, when they lost spiritual senses, they became just a disorderly group of cowards.
I hear the voice of the Lord through QT
The four lepers went to Aram to surrender, but they found out all the Aramean soldiers fled away. At the beginning they were delighted to eat their food and stole money and jewelries. However, later they recovered their spiritual senses even though they did not have any fleshly senses. ‘What we are doing is not right.’ They repented and informed the good news to the Israelites.
Decisions and applications
Even though I may be rich due to my worldly success, I shall be very poor if I lose my spiritual senses. I shall be depressed and oppressed. However, even though the four lepers lost their physical senses and their sense of belonging, they became the deliverers of the good news when they recovered their spiritual senses. Lord, please help me not to lose my spiritual senses in complacency. Rather, help me to live spiritually abundant life even when I become very poor. Help me Lord, not to lose the calling from you at the beginning of my spirit-filled life and to live to share spiritual food with others all the way to the end of my life.
