Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
Lorsque vous entendez un commandement de l'Écriture, vous grimacez ? Et si vous rationalisiez ? Que diriez-vous de transférer la responsabilité à quelqu'un d'autre? Ou obéissez-vous pour honorer le Père ? Un cœur sage accepte les commandements de Dieu comme une bénédiction et une sauvegarde. Un imbécile trouve un moyen de contourner l'application personnelle de la commande. Demandons-nous honnêtement : « Lequel des deux suis-je ?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When you hear a command from Scripture, do you wince? Do you try to rationalize it away? Do you try to transfer the responsibility of obedience to someone else? Or, do you commit to obey that command as part of your worship and efforts to honor the Father? A wise heart accepts the commands of God as a blessing and a safeguard. A fool finds a way to circumvent the personal application of God's commands. Let's ask ourselves honestly, "Am I quick to obey or quick to avoid obedience?" Jesus made this choice crucial in our relationship with him at judgment:
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' " (Matthew 7:21-23)
Ma Prière...
Dieu Précieux et Miséricordieux, mon Père Céleste, merci de m'aimer assez pour me montrer ta vérité et tes commandements. S'il te plaît, utilise mon obéissance pour former ton caractère en moi et pour que mon exemple ait une bonne influence sur ceux que tu as placés dans ma vie. Au nom de Jésus je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
Precious and Gracious God, my Heavenly Father, thank you for loving me enough to show me your truth through your commands. Please, dear Father, I ask that the Holy Spirit use my commitment to obey your commands as the opportunity to form your character in me. Please make me a humble and godly example to those you have placed in my life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
