Who is God like?
vv. 22-25 Everything good came from God. God is the Creator of all things and he is in charge of everything. It is only fitting that we fear God. However, the people of God turned their back from him, and as a result did not receive the good things he provides. What are the good things that you have received from God?
vv. 24,25 God wants to bless his people. He wants to give them the eternal and everlasting life that would provide everything that they need. However, it is the sins of the people that make this impossible. Sin takes away all the good things that God gives us in general.

내게 주는 교훈

What lesson is God teaching me?
vv. 24,25 Do you trust in God who knows your needs and allows harvest at his chosen hour? Do I miss out on the gift of God who ‘always gives goods things’ (see Mt 7:11) because of my impatience and lack of faith? We must believe that the harvest belongs only to God who ‘allows for growth’ and therefore we must wait for God’s timing.
vv. 30,31 The prophets and priests teach lies, and the people listen to them gladly. The leaders are not the only ones responsible for the secularization of the communities. The community is corrupted when the interest of the leader who encourages greed is met with a congregation who prefer messages that gloss over their sins. Do you faithfully preach the truth? Do you follow in blind faith because you are too lazy to be discerning?
