마태복음(Mat) 13장

23.02.25

48. 그물에 가득하매 물 가로 끌어 내고 앉아서 좋은 것은 그릇에 담고 못된 것은 내어 버리느니라

48. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.

49. 세상 끝에도 이러하리라 천사들이 와서 의인 중에서 악인을 갈라 내어

49. This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous

58. 저희의 믿지 않음을 인하여 거기서 많은 능력을 행치 아니하시니라

58. And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.



Faith is not just believing without any trust or any assurance, but rather it comes with knowledge through the Holy Spirit and with the grace of God. He teaches us and allows us to hear and understand it. 

The problem is that I have little faith about what He is going to do through my life. Therefore, He couldn't do many more miracles because of my lack of faith. Honestly speaking, He showed me many miracles until now, but I feel like my faith toward people, not to Him, is getting weaker, whenever I see the wickedness and corruption of the people around me and in my country and the world as well. These wicked news makes me feel like that I have nothing to do and frustrated as well. 

Yet, I believe that He works now and then, and He have been accomplishing His good plan through the righteous ones, so I need to focus on His will that He has toward me, not the world. As I am one of the blessed ones who have the field with pearls, the kingdom of God, I want to walk with Him with thanks and joy in my heart and the prayer for this world.
