글수 97
오늘 금요 찬양 예배에 빈자리를 보면서 문득, 며칠전에 본 이 말씀이 생각나서 올립니다.
내용인 즉, 우리가 나눔의 밤 같은 큰 행사를 치르고 나서, 영적으로 고갈되는 경우가 있는데,
그건, service(예배 또는 집회)후에 종종 경험하는 일들이라고 합니다.
그러나, 이러한 영적인 고갈을 경험하고 있다면, 개인적으로는 '내가 집회에 참여한 이유가 무엇인가?'
한번 하나님앞에 점검해 봐야 한다는 겁니다.
나의 열심이나 어떠함이 예수 그리스도의 구속(the redemption of Jesus Christ)에 뿌리를 두고 있는지 말입니다.
많은 사람들이 나눔의 밤을 통해 은혜와 Fellowship을 경험했다고 합니다.
그러나, 혹, 다른 한편에서 영적인 고갈이나 허전함, 또는 서운함 마저 느끼는 분이 있다면,
아래 본문 마지막에 있는 말씀처럼,
"All my springs are in you" (Psalm 87:7 ).
우리의 끊임없는 공급원되시는 주님을 찾으시길 바랍니다.
그리고, 나를 구속하신 주님을 바라보는 가운데 너끈히 일어나시길 바랍니다.
우리의 힘과 능력되시는 주님을 찬양합니다.

The everlasting God . . . neither faints nor is weary
—Isaiah 40:28
Exhaustion means that our vital energies are completely worn out and spent. Spiritual exhaustion is never the result of sin, but of service. Whether or not you experience exhaustion will depend on where you get your supplies. Jesus said to Peter, "Feed My sheep," but He gave him nothing with which to feed them ( John 21:17 ). The process of being made broken bread and poured-out wine means that you have to be the nourishment for other people’s souls until they learn to feed on God. They must drain you completely— to the very last drop. But be careful to replenish your supply, or you will quickly be utterly exhausted. Until others learn to draw on the life of the Lord Jesus directly, they will have to draw on His life through you. You must literally be their source of supply, until they learn to take their nourishment from God. We owe it to God to be our best for His lambs and sheep, as well as for Him.
Have you delivered yourself over to exhaustion because of the way you have been serving God? If so, then renew and rekindle your desires and affections. Examine your reasons for service. Is your source based on your own understanding or is it grounded on the redemption of Jesus Christ? Continually look back to the foundation of your love and affection and remember where your Source of power lies. You have no right to complain, "O Lord, I am so exhausted." He saved and sanctified you to exhaust you. Be exhausted for God, but remember that He is your supply. "All my springs are in you" ( Psalm 87:7 ).
