Good Morning Tuesday...
Thank You Father for loving us so much and the blessing of this NEW day. Please continue to fill our HEARTS & MINDS with your TRUTH & LOVE so we stay focused on BEING OBEDIENT to You, Your Guidance, and staying filled with Your Peace... TODAY! In Yeshua, Jesus Christ’s Name we pray. Amen! - Shine Like Lights: Obedience Without Complaint Yeshua, Jesus Christ, wraps up the epitome of His followers mission with this statement: “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Matthew 16:24 Paraphrased this is saying: If you desire Me, stop thinking about yourself, what you want, and serve others regardless of the cost. There are translations of The Bible that even state and translate The Scripture this way. We can see that Our King is telling us that our lives should consist of denial of self, self-control, and obedience to Him. Denying ourselves definitely means we won't always get what we want. We must sometimes just do what Yeshua wants and put all else to the side. This is where the tough part comes in... Do we accept this with joy or do we complain and argue? God's Word tells us in Phillipians 2:14: “Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,” Philippians 2:14-15 If we have made a commitment in our lives to follow and serve Yeshua, Jesus Christ, then we have obviously come to the decision that following Him is the best option. If this is the case, then complaining gets us nowhere. It just doesn't make sense. What does make sense? Picking up our cross, having a good attitude, and following THE WAY with a godly attitude. It may be difficult, but this is what Our King has asked from us. God's Word goes on to state we should do things without arguing. Our Savior Is Our God and if we Love Him... why would we argue with Him about His Authority or Plan? There is nothing wrong with forming an argument FOR THE WAY He Has Chosen for us to go. Despite any difficulties, we should be arguing only for what He Has Already Chosen For Us. This is how we "shine as Lights in the world"... by being obedient and doing it without complaint. May we all, if we have made the decision to follow Yeshua, Jesus Christ, obey His Will. Once we have made this decision, may we all do it with a "Light-Shining" Disposition. Father, Mighty God and Creator, we ask your help with this, for we know we are only Strong In You. Help us to be your modern day Daniels, Moses(s), Davids, Noahs, Josephs, and all Your Obedient Servants, but most of all... help us to Shine Like Lights showing Your Son and Our King, The One Perfect Man, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, for it is He Who Saves. In Jesus's Name we pray and ask this of You, Abba. Amen.
