Divine Appointments   by Dave Branon

 

Date: 2011-10-26 Read:Acts 16:9-31 DIVINE APPOINTMENTS Paul and Silas were praying and singing  hymns to God, and the prisoners were  listening to them. -Acts 16:25 Hymn3217 Have you ever been stuck in an airport? For 24  hours? In a city where you can’t speak the  language? Four thousand miles from home?  It happened to a friend recently, and we can  learn from his response. While most of us would  find such an inconvenience intolerable, my friend  John saw God’s hand in his delay. As he waited  out his forced stay, he looked for opportunities  to connect with fellow passengers. He “hap-  pened” to find some fellow Christians from  India°™and in talking to them he heard about a  ministry they were involved with. In fact, beca-  use John’s interests matched his new friends’  ministry, they invited him to India to participate in a shortterm project.  How often do we experience delays, changes of plans, and redirections and treat them as intru-  sions? It could be that God is detouring us so  we can do something different or new for Him.  Consider Paul’s trip to Philippi in Acts 16. He had  gone to Macedonia because of a God-directed  vision (vv.9-10). How could he know that he  would end up in prison there? But even that  trip to jail was God-led, because He used Paul  to bring salvation to a jailer and his family  (vv.25-34).  God can use inconveniences in our lives if we look at them as divine appointments.-Dave Branon  “Disappointment°™His appointment,”  Change one letter, then I see  That the thwarting of my purpose  Is God’s better choice for me. -Young God can turn obstacles  into opportunities. 날짜: 2011-10-26 사도행전 16:9-31 하나님이 지정하신 일 밤중쯤 되어 바울과 실라가 기도하고 하나님을 찬미하매 죄수들이 듣더라 －사도행전 16:25 찬송가217 공항에서 오도 가도 못하고 꼼짝없이 갇혀 본 적이 있습니까? 그것도 24시간 동안, 말이 통하지 않는 도시에서, 집에서 6,600 킬로미터나 떨어진 곳에서 말입니다.  한 친구에게 최근에 이런 일이 일어났는데 그의 반응에서 우리는 교훈을 얻을 수 있습니다. 우리 대부분은 이런 불편함을 참을 수 없는 상황으로 여기지만 내 친구 존은 공항의 대기시간 중에도 하나님의 손길을 발견했습니다. 그는 어쩔 수 없이 기다려야 하는 동안 다른 승객들과 대화하는 기회를 찾았습니다. 그는 “우연히” 인도에서 온 그리스도인 형제들을 만나서 대화를 하는 중에 그들이 관련되어 있는 선교사역에 대해 듣게 되었습니다. 실제로 존의 관심과 이 새로운 친구들의 관심이 일치했기 때문에 그들은 존을 단기선교에 동참하도록 인도에 초청했습니다.  얼마나 자주 우리는 지연, 계획 변경 그리고 방향 수정을 경험하며 이런 것들을 장애물로 여겼는지요? 그것은 하나님께서 우리를 우회하게 하여 우리가 주님을 위해 어떤 다른 일 또는 새로운 일을 할 수 있도록 하신 것일 수 있습니다. 사도행전 16장에서 바울이 빌립보로 여행하게 된 것을 생각해보십시오. 하나님께서 환상을 보여주시며 그를 마게도냐로 인도하셨습니다(9-10절). 바울이 거기서 감옥으로 가게 될 줄을 어떻게 알았겠습니까? 그러나 투옥된 것도 하나님의 뜻이었습니다, 왜냐하면 주님은 바울을 사용하셔서 간수와 그의 가족이 구원에 이르도록 하셨기 때문입니다(25-34절).  우리 삶에서 일어나는 불편한 일들을 하나님이 지정하신 일이라고 생각하면, 하나님은 그 불편한 일들을 사용하실 수 있습니다.  나의 실망(disappointment), 하나님의 약속하심(appointment)  한 글자만 바꾸면 나는 알 수 있네  목적을 방해하는 것이  날 위한 하나님의 더 좋은 선택이라는 것을 하나님은 역경을 기회로  바꾸실 수 있다.

Acts 16:9-31

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁹ And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” ¹⁰ Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.

Lydia Baptized at Philippi

   
¹¹ Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came to Neapolis, ¹² and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days. ¹³ And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there. ¹⁴ Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul. ¹⁵ And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.

Paul and Silas Imprisoned

   
¹⁶ Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. ¹⁷ This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” ¹⁸ And this she did for many days. 
But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. ¹⁹ But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities. 
²⁰ And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, “These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city; ²¹ and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe.” ²² Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. ²³ And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely. ²⁴Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

The Philippian Jailer Saved

   
²⁵ But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. ²⁶ Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. ²⁷ And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. ²⁸ But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.” 
²⁹ Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. ³⁰ And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 
³¹ So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
