My current state


Philippians 4:8~13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. (12~13)


Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #430 Tis So Sweet to Walk With Jesus (#456 in previous version)


 When people face problems or difficulties, they get lost in the darkness without knowing who they are and where they should go. And even though we have received salvation and know the mystery of Jesus Christ, we are still troubled with our present reality. When held in prison, Paul confessed with thanksgiving, “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.” Paul enjoyed the mystery of Christ even when he was in prison. What is our current state?


1. Through Him who gives me strength
 When we face difficulties and feel powerless, would hang-in-there be an answer? We can overcome our difficulties only when we discover “Where am I?” and gain the power that God gives to us. If we pray, ‘Where am I? Am I enjoying the power that God is giving to me?’ before facing problems, then our eyes to see problems will change. The phrase “Through Him who gives me strength” indicates that power. When God’s children grab hold of God’s Word and pray as they enjoy the power of Christ, they will experience the power of the Triune God. This is the current state for us who received salvation.


2. Inside God’s plan
 God had a plan when He sent Paul to prison. For Paul who had seen God’s plan, the prison was the place for Rome evangelization and the center for world evangelization. God’s plan was placed inside Paul’s sufferings. When God bestows great blessings, He gift-wraps them with difficulties or problems. However, we only want things that look good on the outside. Every time schedule for God’s children is within God’s plan. If we pray so that we can correctly realize God’s plan, ‘Why did God call me? Why did God let me live here?’ starting now, then there is no need for us to fear because God’s plan is in sight.


- We must gain the power that God gives to us before we start doing anything. The way to gain the power that God gives to us is prayer. Let us meditate on God’s Word every morning and go deeply into the prayer of enjoying Christ.
