A Devotional for such a time as this: - from: Mornings with Tozer _____________ Gods Will: Obey! If ye will not obey... then shall the hand of the Lord be against you. 1 Samuel 12:15 Independence is a strong human trait, so men and women everywhere bristle when anyone says, You owe obedience! In the natural sense, we do not take kindly to the prospect of yielding obedience to anyone. Both Old and New Testaments of the Bible make it plain that sin is disobedience to the law of God. Pauls picture of sinners in Ephesians concludes that the wrath of God will come upon those who are the children of disobedience (2:2-3). So, we live in a generation of men and women alienated from God, and who make a great case for individualism and the right of self-determination. The individuals strong statement is this: I belong to myself. No one has the authority to require my obedience! Now, if God had made us to be mere machines, we would not have the power of self-determination. He made us in His image, to be moral creatures with the power, but not the right, to choose evil. We have the right to be good. We never have the right to be bad because God, the Creator, is good. If we choose to be unholy, we are using a right that is not ours! Lord, thank You so much for Your willingness to forgive when Your children err. What other religion can boast such a loving and merciful God? - via QuickVerse 10 #devotionalforsuchatimeasthis #christjesus #vineofchristministries #theword #studyscripture #god #biblestudy #bible #jesus #faith #dailydevotions #devotional
