Most of us like doing our own
thing. We don’t want somebody else telling us what to do (if it is somebody
that we don’t like it’s even worse). We want to make our own way in life.
Then there is the annoying fact
that someone else has more experience and they just know what to do. This can
be true for parenting, for work for faith, for many things in life.
When children are young they listen to what
adults say, because sometimes they want to please us or they fear the
consequences of disobedience. Because we
care what happen to children we want to tell them what to do, how to behave and
what to look out for.
Our father in heaven is also
concerned about us. He has a greater advantage than life experience...He knows
the end from the beginning. As his children we must heed his loving instruction
and stern warnings – because He knows and He cares deeply for you and me.
Prayer: Father, help me to love your
words and listen to them, for therein is life and freedom for me. Amen.
Let's kneel in front of the
LORD, our maker, because he is our God and we are the people in his care, the
flock that he leads. If only you would listen to him today! Psalm 95: 6,7
