HERE IS ANOTHER GREAT INSPIRATIONAL READING FROM DR CHARLES STANLEY!!!! I JUST LOVE SHARING THESE GREAT READINGS TO YOU THAT THE LORD BROUGHT TO MY HEART!!!! THE TITLE OF THIS READING IS WHO IS YOUR MASTER? No man or woman is a absolutely free!!! Romans 6:16 says we are slaves of whomever we obey- slaves either of sin or of obedience to the Lord!! Because every human is born with a fallen nature, being the master of our own life is the same as being enslaved to sin!!! Our Heavenly Fathers prescription for this unhealthy situation is submission to Him!!!! But we often think to ourselves, IF I GIVE THE LORD CONTROL, THEN I LOSE IT- AND THATS SCARY!!! GOD COULD LEAD ME SOMEWHERE I DONT WANT TO GO!! When fear seeps into your heart, stop and consider the Lords character and motives: Holy and sinless, He has infinite wisdom, perfect knowledge, and an eternal perspective!! Whats more, He loves you and has the power to work all things for your good(Genesis 50:20)!! Now compare your credentials to His!!! Who do you think would make a better master of your life?? If the Lord is to have full authority, all rival rulers must be dethroned!! The Holy Spirit will not fill believers who tolerate sin in their lives!!! The grace of God covers the guilt of our transgressions, BUT IT CANNOT BE USED TO EXCUSE CONTINUED DISOBEDIENCE(ROMANS 6:1-2)!!! WE GRIEVE THE SPIRIT WHEN WE SAY YES TO SIN, AND STIFLE HIM WHEN WE SAY NO TO GOD (EPH.4:30; 1 THESSOLONIANS 5:19)!!!! Dont let yourself be discouraged by the magnitude of this call to submission!!! None of us can attain sinless perfection on earth, but each time we take a step of obedience, sins hold on us will lessen!!! PRESS ON- youll soon begin to live in the freedom of enslavement to the most amazing Master youve ever known!!! THESE GREAT WORDS OF WISDOM CAN BE BACKED UP BY THE SCRIPTURE READNG OF JAMES 4:7-10!!!! I REALLY, REALLY LEARNED SOMETHING FROM THIS READING AS WELL THE OTHER READINGS BY DR CHARLES STANLEY!!! I HOPE YOU ENJOYED READING THIS AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED SHARING THIS WITH YOU!!!!
