TimeForChange.mp3     [TIME FOR A CHANGE] There he built an altar to the LORD and  called on the name of the LORD. — Genesis 12:8       Many believers long to spend daily time with God, praying and reading His Word. Ironically,  they are often distracted by a busy schedule. Frustrations mount as busyness seems to crowd out an opening in their schedule.            Oswald Chambers has wisely commented on the transforming power of even 5 minutes in the presence of the Lord. Indeed, even a short time spent in intercession and the Word still has great value: “It is not the thing on which we spend the most time that moulds us, but the thing that exerts the greatest power. Five minutes with God and His Word is worth more than all   the rest of the day.” Now, it may sound like Chambers has made an overstatement. Yet powerful results can come from even a short time of prayer, because God is powerful.      Sometimes our days are filled with busy demands that crowd out time spent in listening to and  responding to God. But no matter where we are, any time taken to build our own spiritual “altar” to the Lord as Abram did (Gen. 12:8) opens the door to His   transforming power. If you are having    trouble establishing a time with God, you could start with just 5 minutes and see where it leads.  Our God longs to meet with us and show His power in our lives. —Dennis Fisher Lord, it’s amazing to me that You, Almighty God, would want to spend time with me! Thank You. I stumble with my words at times but am in awe of You. Thank You that You want to hear from me.

TimeForChange.pdf [변화를 위한 시간]   여호와께 제단을 쌓고 여호와의 이름을 부르더니-창세기 12:8      많은 성도들이 기도하고 말씀을 읽으면서 매일 하나님과 함께하는 시간을 갖기를 간절히 원하고 있습니다. 그러나 얄궂게도 바쁜 일정 때문에 자주 방해를 받습니다. 일정이 너무 바쁘다보니 조금도 틈을 내지 못하게 되어 좌절감이 쌓여갑니다.   오스왈드 챔버스는 주님이 임재하시는 단 5분이 줄 수 있는 변화시키는 능력에 관해 현명하게 논평하였습니다. 사실, 중보기도와 말씀으로 보내는 시간은 비록 짧을지라도 그 가치는 참으로 큽니다.  “우리의 인격을 형성하는 것은 우리가 대부분의 시간을 투자한 일이 아니라, 가장 큰 능력을 발휘한 일이다. 말씀을 묵상하며 하나님과 함께하는 5분의 시간은 나머지 하루의 모든 시간보다 더 가치가 있다.” 그가 좀 과장된 발언을 한 것 같이 들릴지도 모르겠습니다. 그러나 하나님은 능력이 있으시므로 짧은 시간의 기도일지라도 강력한 결과를 가져올 수 있습니다.     때때로 우리의 일상생활이 너무 바빠서 하나님 말씀을 듣고 응답하는 일에 소홀할 수도 있습니다. 그러나 우리가 어디에 있든, 아브라함이 행한 대로 하나님을 향하여 우리 영혼의 ‘제단’을 쌓는 데 시간을 드린다면(창 12:8), 하나님의 변화시키시는 능력의 문이 열리게 됩니다. 만일 당신이 하나님과 함께하는 시간을 확보하는 데 어려움이 있다면, 우선 5분간씩 시작해보시고 그것이 어떻게 인도하는지 지켜보십시오. 우리 하나님은 우리를 만나시기를, 그리고 우리 삶에 그분의 능력을 주시기를 간절히 바라고 계십니다.   하나님, 전능하신 하나님께서 저와 시간을 보내기를 원하신다는 사실이 얼마나 놀라운지요! 감사합니다.  때로는 제게 말의 실수가 있으나 제가 하나님을 경외합니다.  제 말을 들으시기를 원하시니 감사합니다.

Genesis 12:1-8 (NJKV) 

Promises to Abram 

 ¹ Now the LORD had said to Abram:
 “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land   that I will show you.  ² I will make you a great   nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.  ³ I will bless those who bless you, And I will   curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” 

⁴ So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. ⁵ Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan. ⁶ Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh.^[a] And the Canaanites were then in the land. 
⁷ Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him. ⁸ And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.

 

Genesis 12:1-8 (CEV)

The LORD Chooses Abram

 

¹The LORD said to Abram:

   Leave your country, your family, and your relatives and go to the land that I will show you. ²I will bless you and make your descendants into a great nation. You will become famous and be a blessing to others. ³I will bless anyone who blesses you, but I will put a curse on anyone who puts a curse on you. Everyone on earth will be blessed because of you. ^[a] 4-5Abram was seventy-five years old when the LORD told him to leave the city of Haran. He obeyed and left with his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and slaves they had gotten while in Haran.

   When they came to the land of Canaan, ⁶Abram went as far as the sacred tree of Moreh in a place called Shechem. The Canaanites were still living in the land at that time, ⁷but the LORD appeared to Abram and promised, "I will give this land to your family forever." Abram then built an altar there for the LORD.

    ⁸Abram traveled to the hill country east of Bethel and camped between Bethel and Ai, where he built another altar and worshiped the LORD.
