Parents do everything for their children. Like him, God also prepares large and small things for us as children. The God who prepares is called Yahweh Ire in Hebrew. When God asked Abraham to give his son, who was 100 years old, as a sacrifice at Mount Moriah, he took his son three days down the road and climbed Mount Moriah to build an altar. God hurriedly stopped Abraham when he was trying to catch his son and kill him with a knife to give him as a sacrifice. And I heard a sound nearby, and a goat was struggling with its horns hanging from a tree branch. God had prepared the sacrifice himself. Abraham went and killed the goat, bled it, and made a fire on the altar, and then started to call God's name Yahweh Ire, or "God is preparing."

There are many things we can't do on our own while living in this land, but we need to know that God is always among us and prepares. If you always leave it to God, he prepares something good for us.

 

1. Jonah's Experience

 
The word of God came to Jonah, the son of Amitong, among the prophets. It is to predict that Ninewe, the capital of Assur, will be destroyed within 40 days by God's judgment. Jonah was thrilled at the time. Because Assur colonized Israel and inflicted a lot of pain. He robbed them of their property, collected materials, made their captives serve in the military, and caused them a lot of pain. Jonah disobeyed God's orders to go to Ninewe, the capital of the northern Assur, and fled from Jobba to Darce, to what is today Spain. Then, underneath the ship, he fell asleep so deeply that he could not hear God's words. But in Jonah 1:4, it is written that "Jahwe sent a great wind down on the sea, a great storm broke in the middle of the sea, and the ship was almost broken." God had a great wind and a storm in store. So when the ship was just shaking in the waves, the boat was filled with water, and when it went bankrupt, the laborers woke Jonah up in surprise. I asked who was sleeping so comfortably, and I drew a swallow for whom this trouble came, but Jonah was caught.

They threw Jonah into the water after they heard all about it. Jonah thought she was dead and closed her eyes, but something swallowed her up. The Bible says, "Jonah has already prepared a big fish and swallowed Jonah three days and night in the fish's belly." To swallow a person like Jonah, you need a very big mouth, and God specially prepared this fish. But the fish was in great pain for the next three days after swallowing Jonah. Jonah kept knocking and scratching from the fish's stomach, causing stomachache and abdominal pain and couldn't bear it. The fish came to the beach in Asur in three days and vomited Jonah. That's how Jonah came all the way to Nineveh on a free boat. Jonah proclaimed to the people of Nineveh to " repent" according to God's command. Then, God heard these words from the king to the low and repent, repent, and call them in mourning and mourning. God did not judge the castle of Nineveh even after 40 days had passed when the whole country wailed and turned away from sin. Then Jonah, who wanted the destruction of Nineveh, was very distressed. And he was sitting in the scorching sun begging God to kill him. But after sleeping one evening, a gourd grew and covered Jonah on the head where she was sitting. God had prepared it. Jonah was happy about the vine. But when he woke up the next morning, it withered away. The worms God had prepared had eaten away the vine.

In Jonah 4:6 to 7, it is written, "God Yahweh prepared the vine for Jonah, so that he could shade it for his head and avoid his suffering. Jonah was very pleased with the vine, and God prepared the worm and gnawed it the next morning." See what God has prepared. God has prepared for the wind and the fish, the gourd and the worms. God has prepared these little worms with interest. So this little worm is prepared for us, which is why God built heaven and earth.

Dr. Victor Frankel is a psychiatrist who survived the Nazi concentration camp in Germany and developed psychotherapy based on his experiences at the time. When he was confined to a concentration camp, he hid his research manuscript from his clothes and tried to enter the camp with the clothes on, but all of his clothes and manuscript were taken away. I had no intention of living when the thesis he had studied was taken away in my life. He felt hopeless, clutching the ragged prison clothes on his chest. But when I reached into the pocket of the prison uniform, I found an old piece of paper with a Bible verse written on it. The words of verse 5 read, "Listen, Israel, our God Yahweh is the only Yahweh, so love him with all your heart, all your will, and all your strength." When Dr. Victor Frankel saw this, he realized, 'Ah! God had prepared this note and put it in my pocket so that I would not be discouraged,' and made a new decision by reading it all the time. While I was working hard, I continued to study human psychology, and if there was a piece of paper, I recorded it and piled it up one by one. When he came out of the prison camp after World War II, he made a great contribution to the psychiatry of mankind by creating psychotherapy to save humans based on his occasional records. In the midst of the crisis, he took the opportunity to meet God again and open a new future through God's words. I hope you believe in God's devotion to prepare without abandoning us, no matter what happens in any place.
 

2. God prepared for salvation

 
We were saved because God had sent Jesus Christ, the son of God. Isaiah 53:1, verse 6 says, "Who believed what we had said? To whom did Yahweh's arm appear? He is soft to grow up in front of the LORD, and like a root from a dry land, there is nothing beautiful to admire. He was despised, abandoned by people, suffered a lot, and grew up knowing Jilgo, as if people were covering their faces from him. He was truly our pain and suffering. We think that he is punished, beaten by God, and suffered hardships. He is punished because of our sins. He is punished because he is punished, and his wounds are our sins. We are punished because he is punished, and we are punished because he is punished, but we are punished because he is punished, and we are punished because he is beaten by the whip. We are all like sheep, we have done the wrong thing, and we have done the wrong thing, and we have gone our way."

The Bible predicted that God would send the son to save us and that the son would become a subordinate, more than 600 years before Jesus came. And in Ephesians 2:1, Sathobaul said, "He has saved you who have died of your faults and sins, and you have followed the trend of the world and those who have been in power in the air. You are now the spirit of the disobedient sons. We were the children of wrath in the past by following the greed of our bodies and doing what we wanted of our bodies, and like everyone else, we were all the children of wrath. God, who is rich in mercy, saved us with Christ, who died in tears because of the great love that loved us, and sat in heaven together in Christ Jesus, who caused us to rise together. You have been saved by faith in Jesus, and this is not from you. It is not from God's gift, which is not from the act, and we do not allow anyone to show off. This is what he made, who has been inspired to do good in Christ Jesus, so that God will do it in the midst of us."

God prepared and called us before the Long March, so that we can be saved by Jesus' blood, harmonize with God, and embrace God's love. God loves us so much that when we repent, he runs out and hugs us. You can see in the parable of the prodigal son. The father loved his son so much that he looked forward to his return, ran out and welcomed him. In this way, God eagerly awaits us to be saved. God loved us and made Jesus crucified, tore his body, and shed blood instead of us to save us. When we return, Jesus' blood covers our skin. And when we sing hymns or when we listen to our words, he wants God to touch our backs and make our wishes come true. He is here now. Therefore we are never lonely or lonely. God loved us because he wanted to. He loved us because he wanted to love us. Are there any parents who abandoned their children just because they were sick? Even if your child is sick, the reason why he is by your side is because you love him. Because he loves us, God does not abandon us and does not leave us. So even now, he says to us, "Don't be afraid, I am with you. Don't be surprised, I am your God. I will make you strong. I will help you, indeed, with my righteous right hand."
 

3. God who prepared the Holy Spirit

 
God sent the Holy Spirit he promised after Jesus died on the cross and ascended to heaven three days later. The Holy Spirit is the same God as Jesus, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is here to help us in support of the will of the Father. In John 14:25:26, it is written, "I have said this to you because I am still with you, and the Holy Spirit, which will be sent by the Father in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of everything I have told you." The Holy Spirit makes us realize the truth, and the Holy Spirit makes us remember the words we learned from Jesus through the Bible.

Because the Holy Spirit is a personal God, we must speak and socialize with our lips. The Holy Spirit makes us holy. When the Holy Spirit comes, we have a heart in our hearts to keep the word of God. The heart is the beginning of everything. You think of sin first in your heart, then sin, and then you decide that you want righteousness to be righteous in your heart, and then it is transferred to righteous behavior. The Holy Spirit takes over our hearts and changes our minds. If you change your mind, you will wish and like to do righteousness rather than sin, so you will not commit sin. The Holy Spirit also helps us to be vulnerable, so the Holy Spirit prays for us in unspeakable lamentations.

Romans 8:11 states, "If the spirit of the one who saved Jesus from the dead resides in you, the one who saved Christ Jesus from the dead will also save your body from the dead through his spirit living in you." When the Holy Spirit comes, not only does it save our souls, but it also saves the body to die. God has made all three of spirit, soul, and body into man. Therefore, while living in this world, God wants to save the spirit, save the soul, and save the body with the Holy Spirit to give us health. The law of the Holy Spirit of God's life comes to us and gives us life. Therefore, if you look at the grace that God has prepared for us, the Son of God has also prepared for us, the Holy Spirit has prepared for us, and the many words of those promises recorded in the Bible have also been prepared for us. That's why we have to pray to receive the reserved grace. God wants to listen to prayer and give us because he wants to talk to us. If you stay still without praying, God will not make history. Therefore, in Corinthians 2:9:10, it is recorded that "everything God has prepared for those who love him cannot be seen by the eyes, heard by the ears, and thought with the human mind. Only God has shown this to us by the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit knows everything, that is, the deep of God."

Therefore, we must pray nonstop. We must ask for not only prayers for gratitude and praise, but also for small things. Luke 11:9:10 says, "I tell you again to save, and I will give it to you. Find it, and I will find it. Knock on the door and it will open up to you, and you will receive it all. Those who seek will find it, and those who knock will open up will find it." God had already decided to give it to you, but before saving it, would it be good if he could do it on his own? But God said, "My dear child! I need you more than a response to you. I like you to come by my side. Therefore, if you save, I will not respond, if you do not save, I will not." God loves us so much that he wants to be close to us in any way possible.

God blesses and prepares at the same time for hardships. Looking back later, you realize that hardship has become a greater blessing than a blessing. Blessings are sweet now, but as time goes by, I know that the pain I have suffered in the present becomes a greater blessing and a greater blessing. People cannot develop a step without suffering. Therefore, in future, we will realize and know that suffering is a greater blessing than a blessing. God loves us. He cannot endure without love. Because God is love. There is no hate in God. We need to fill that love. Even angels cannot fill the needs of God's love. Animals cannot fill them. No way. Only our people have been made in the image and shape of God. Therefore, only we can make God happy. God can make him happy. He can make us happy. Therefore, he is giving great love to us and holding his hands out, so thank you, praise, pray, and rejoice in our God's arms. And do not rest and pray to God and seek what we need. "As you said, 'Please, find, find, knock on the door, and it will be opened. God will give us, as he said, 'You will get everything, you will find it, you will be opened to those who knock on the door.'
 
We don't know how good it is to have God become our father and the partner to make love with us if Jesus is in our hearts. Love covers all kinds of faults. The Bible also says, "Because of those who love us in all this, whether it is hardship or hardship or evil, danger or famine or death, we have enough victory." No one can turn off this love. We cannot ignore this love. God loves the world like this, and when he goes out to God through Jesus, he does not ask about the past. He covers it up, makes us reborn, embrace it, and give us the Holy Spirit to live holyly in God's will. You have a good soul, everything is well done, strong, and joyful together. In the Bible, the prodigy's father did not say to the prodigy who returned, "Are you hungry? Eat alone!" They partied, "Catch the fat calf. Let us eat together and rejoice!" God wants us to enjoy our health together when we live our lives, see our righteousness, and rejoice together. We always have to live with God so that God is satisfied and we are satisfied. I pray in the name of the Lord that we will be the ones who look at God in the morning and wake up, look at God at lunch, eat lunch, sleep in God's arms and live with him without saying anything in the evening.
 

-Prayers-

God of love who has prepared everything for us! We give thanks and glory to God's grace. While living in a rough world, I want to be accompanied by the Holy Spirit and believe that no matter what hardships and adversities, it is a hardship for the blessings God has prepared and to win. Give us strength and permission of ability!
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.

a life of faith and personality of faith

Many people today only convey Jesus as a historical figure 2,000 years ago and say that there is no miracle. In addition, there is a deformed gospel that says that in order to obtain salvation, you must not only trust but also do what is right. However, sa
