Obedience or Independence?
From Oswald Chambers:
"The Lord does not give me rules. But He makes His standards very clear.
If my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without
hesitation. If I hesitate, it is because I love someone I have placed in competition
with Him, namely myself.
Jesus Christ will not force me to obey Him, but I must. And as soon as I obey Him,
I fulfill my spiritual destiny. My personal life may be crowded with small,
petty happenings, altogether insignificant. But if I obey Jesus in
the seemingly random circumstances of life, they
become peepholes through which I see the face of God.
Then, when I stand face to face with God, I will discover that through my obedience
thousands were blessed.
When God's redemption brings a human soul to the point of obedience, it always
produces. If I obey Jesus Christ, the redemption of God will flow through me
into the lives of others, because behind the deed of
obedience is the reality of Almighty God."
[Note: Think about it - "But if I obey Jesus in the seemingly random circumstances of life, they become peepholes through which I see the face of God." WOW!]
