John 13:13 “Ye call Me Master and Lord, and
ye say well, for so I am.”
God has given us freedom in our
relationship with Him. Many reject Him. However, when you yield to Him as Lord
and Savior, there is a recognition of His absolute authority over your life.
He, of course, has that authority over every life, even those that do not know
Him, but it is through a relationship with the living God that you are
transformed. When you seek Him out, He will bring other believers into your
life to mentor and guide you. Chambers writes: “God educates us by means of
people who are a little better than we are, not intellectually but ‘holily,’ until
we get under the domination of the Lord Himself, and then the whole attitude of
the life is one of obedience to God.” We should never look upon such people as
above us for their maturity, but rather as a gift. We should also not lose our
focus on Jesus and place it on any other person, no matter how faithful they might
be. God wants us engrossed in our relationship with Him, for He will never let
us down. We, in our human frailty, are all sinners, but Almighty God is perfect
in all of His ways.
Obedience has become a word related to
weakness in our world, but when we live in obedience and adoration of our Lord,
life expands into a glorious adventure.
I would not want to live this precious existence any other way.
