A Little Walk With God

A daily devotional through the Bible speaking with God as Adam and Eve may have in the garden east of Eden. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com

Love others and love God and you will have unity. Love looks past differences. Love doesn’t care about the color of skin or the nationality of people. Love looks past language and culture. Love just sees people and their hurts, like Jesus did. Love sees the potential in the lowest of people and the highest of them. 

Love looks to embrace all men and women in every station of life. Because love knows everyone needs love and love springs best from a heart guided by God's Spirit. Until filled with and guided by His Spirit, people work for selfish motives and love extended works toward selfish ends. But once guided by His Spirit, love takes on a different role in the life of His children.

God gave the Israelites rules about eating and washing for two reasons. First, to keep them healthy and second, as a discipline to help them in their daily disciplines to Him. Do they still apply? For some, they are convicted by His Spirit to keep the laws, but not by all. He holds some to different disciplines and different requirements than others. Not because the things God wants you to avoid are necessarily evil in themselves, but because He knows those things can lead you down a spiral of temptation and sin.

You can trust that God knows what He's doing by sometimes allowing unbelievers, even evil people, to hold positions of authority. But ultimately, they too will answer to Him for their actions. He may use them to further His ends, but they still make the choices to act the way they do. 

So, in the end, obey the authorities over you. He allows them to be there. Obey God. And trust Him to help you through even the most corrupt governments. They are only there at God's pleasure after all.

Make right choices knowing that God has the final word in everything you plan. Also know that He will do what is best for you and what brings glory to Him. You may not think it best at the moment, but trust Him. He might let you go through pain and suffering for a moment in time, but He knows the end results. He knows what you’re going through and He's with you to the end. God knows your future and you can trust that He knows what you need in your life for each moment. 

The final word is His. Trust Him as your God and Savior to carry you through this life into the next ... well.

Abraham, Jesus' Apostles, those in the upper room on the day of Pentecost, and thousands since discovered the joy of serving Him in the face of severe persecution. They knew the short time of suffering in this life is nothing compared to the reward they receive in following God. It’s time to choose which side you will live on - His or the world’s. One leads to eternal life, one leads to never ending death and destruction. I think it’s an easy choice. His followers know they made the right choice. 

Which path will you follow? Time is running out to decide.

Do you know some one that needs God in their life? I’m giving you a mission. Proclaim God to that person. You don’t need to preach. You don’t need to know the Five Spiritual Laws. You don’t need to memorize five books of the Bible before you talk to him or her. I just want you to tell them one thing you know God did for you this week. That’s it. Just in conversation, tell them, “You know what God did for me this week? He…”

Many times God's children settle for forgiveness of their sins and stop in their spiritual journey with Him. They never explore the abundant life He talked about giving you. It doesn’t come with just forgiveness. It comes with letting Him take charge. It comes with resting in God and knowing that He make the decisions for you when you live by His Spirit living in you.

Living in the Spirit means dying to the oppressive desires of the flesh and living according to the impulses of His demands. Saying yes to Him, not to your fleshly desires. Some will say it’s not possible, but Peter, Paul, James, John and so many since them found God's promises true. He told them to be holy. To live by the Spirit. To let His Spirit be the controlling influence in their lives…and they did.

Wisdom is such an important quality to obtain but so few possess it. Those who declare they have wisdom usually don’t and those who thirst for it and seek it with their whole being usually have more than they think they do. Wisdom eludes many because they fail to work hard enough to obtain it. They just sit back and let life roll over them without a care in the world and take whatever life brings. No plans. No provision for the future. No expectation of anything other than come what may.

Still having trouble with your choice? I dare you to make a list of the pros and cons of each choice, following God or being in control of yourself. See how your assets and liabilities fall out. See what benefits you gain from God or from your selfish path. Discover what you can do on your own or what you can do by following His advice. Be honest in your appraisal, though. Remember to take into account what you can really control versus what He controls as you make your assessments. You really don't control much.
