1 Timothy 4:1-5

성령께서 환히 말씀하십니다. 마지막 때에, 어떤 사람들은 믿음에서 떠나, 속이는 영과 악마의 교훈을 따를 것입니다. 그러한 교훈은, 그 양심에 낙인이 찍힌 거짓말쟁이의 속임수에서 나오는 것입니다. 이런 자들은 혼인을 금하고, 어떤 음식물을 먹지 말라고 할 것입니다. 그러나 그 음식물은, 하나님께서, 믿는 사람과 진리를 아는 사람이 감사하는 마음으로 먹게 하시려고 만드신 것입니다. 하나님께서 지으신 것은 모두 다 좋은 것이요, 감사하는 마음으로 받으면, 버릴 것이 하나도 없습니다. 모든 것은 하나님의 말씀과 기도로 거룩해집니다.The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

Indeed. Everything in this world that we see with our eyes has been created by God and consecrate by His word and prayer. We should appreciate the good things that He has given us rather than trying to critical of the happenings around us. Let's pray that He he will pour out onto us a spirit of Thanksgiving in our hearts so that we won't grumble but be of full thanks to our Lord in our every day lives. Amen!
