ACTION FOR THE LORD

” FOR MERELY LISTENING TO THE LAW DOESN’T MAKE US RIGHT WITH GOD. IT IS OBEYING THE LAW THAT MAKES US RIGHT IN HIS SIGHT.” ROMANS 2:13

We can spend all day reading a book of instructions on how to fix an appliance but unless we actually do what the instruction manual tells us to do we will never succeed. The same applies to God’s Word. We can read it all day long, everyday, but if we don’t understand what we are reading, and we don’t apply the principles that it sets forth, we will never succeed. We need to not only read his word but we need to study his word. We need to pray for understanding, use the resources provided to us, so that we can understand the different meanings of his words and phrases. Once we understand what God is saying we must then apply those principles to our lives. His word is our roadmap to a successful life here in this world. His word helps us to overcome our own struggles so that we can help others to find the Lord and be able to overcome their struggles. We are to live a life of joy and peace not a life of fear and doubt. We all know that the devil is always trying to shut us down but sometimes we give him too much credit. Sometimes we get in our own way with attitudes of arrogance, self control and just plain blindness on our part. It is important that we listen, hear, and do what our Lord is telling us. It is not easy, but if we do we will have a life so much more peaceful and powerful. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
