We know that we ought to obey the desires and the imperatives of our Lord. There are two real good reasons for obedience. First, it is our only way to show our love for Jesus. It is doing what Jesus himself does not force us to do that shows we put Him first in our lives. The second real good reason for obedience is that it leads others to glory. When our life is over and we see Jesus face to face, we will learn that it was through obedience that thousands of people in our life were led to trust in Jesus as their Savior. One can only imagine what disobedience does in our life. Obedience is not grounds for our salvation, but it is our evidence of it.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, command us not to do Your will, but do motivate us and enlighten us to the truth of what obedience is in Your Kingdom. Turn our hearts to day and let them never turn back. In Your Holy Name I pray Amen.
