Have
you had your Joy Juice today? Obey God
by rejoicing in truly knowing Him!
Obey is
a word that some people consider an “ugly” word! I remember when I was School Counselor
at an elementary school years ago, I got a phone call from an angry parent,
complaining that a teacher had made her child write a paragraph about why he needed to obey the rules! She was livid that ANYBODY would make her child use
that word “OBEY”!
I was
quite puzzled why that word was so offensive until it dawned on me that this
mother, herself, must have had some hurtful person in her life that made her
“obey” in ways that were harmful and left bitter memories. My heart ached for
her. It’s sad that these types of
things happen in our fallen world. BUT let’s not let such things taint and
tarnish our understanding of God. When
it comes to our loving Heavenly Father….He wants us to obey His commandments
because He desires what it is best for us.
In the New Testament, we learn through the example of Jesus Christ that believers are called to a life of obedience. http://christianity.about.com/od/whatdoesthebiblesay/a/Obedience-To-God.htm
Obey God and receive His joyful blessings!
