Last week at our Bible Fellowship, our Reverend was talking about how we need to obey God to be found faithful servants. For God to be able to fulfill all of His promises to us, we need to be obedient and faithful to Him. As a teacher and a person who really enjoys observing children and looking at things from a child's perspective, I found this to be very interesting.
Ephesians 6:1 Children Obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right
Typically when I read this verse I think of it as a guide to raising children, as it is. In the Bible, God gives children one responsibility, "Obey your parents". What a great thing to teach your children. If you can teach a child at a young age to obey their parents, it will pave the way for them to have the strength and boldness to obey and believe God with their whole heart. However, while sitting through Bible fellowship, this verse came to my mind in regards to what was being taught. We, born again believers of God, are His dear children. This verse is a tool for our spiritual walk as well. We need to obey God for we are His children! It is so amazing to me to see the love that God has for us and how ready He is to shower His love upon us. If you think about it simply obeying God is not that hard...we just need to train ourselves to do so, just like you would with a small child! It starts with small baby steps...then the baby steps will grow leaps and bounds, if we simply believe and obey!
