Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe … we’re discovering whether God is the ruler of our lives. As we move forward in our series on Rock Solid Living … we’re looking at the Ten Commandments and how these ancient words bring about new life.  Specifically, the first commandment. In our materialistic culture, the need to be in control is so prevalent … but we need to be asking ourselves … what are we putting before God?

As we’ve entered the last week of May, I remember how crazy this time of year is for those who have school-aged children. I know a lot of parents are in what many call Maycember. The chaotic final days of the school year entail so many parties, ceremonies, graduations, proms, concerts, teacher appreciation gifts and sports tournaments. It can also bring lots of anticipation, with kids looking forward to summer break and wondering what teacher they’ll have next year.

For me, however, I’m often reminded of a difficult memory that occurred over 20 years ago at the conclusion of my son’s first year of kindergarten. That year I had to tell six-year-old Jacob he wouldn’t be moving up to first grade with his friends in the fall.

Several months earlier, Jacob’s kindergarten teacher called my husband and me in for what we thought was a routine conference. Expecting to hear glowing reports of our son’s schoolwork, we were instead faced with a situation that brought frustration and heartache to our family.

Jacob’s teacher began by saying Jacob had been very distracted over the last few months, and she felt he needed to be tested for ADD. She handed us a paper outlining the symptoms and advised us to have a doctor confirm the diagnosis.

Then she dropped the bomb.

“I believe Jacob would be better off if you held him back a year,” she said coolly. “Of course, the choice is yours, but he won’t benefit if you send him on ahead.”

Here's Jacob's story...

Deceiving ourselves trips us up on our spiritual walk. When we deceive ourselves, we are blind to the assumptions we make and think we are right when we are actually wrong. Much of this is delivered through the pulpit; wrong doctrine deceives us so that we do not see the truth of God’s love and grace. Our success in life hinges on knowing our true identity as His righteous children. God wants to show us that we are His reflection; understanding this prevents us from being deceived. Letting the Holy Spirit guide us in how to live keeps us humble and protects us from pride, which is closely intertwined with self-deception. Sharing God’s perspective though Jesus Christ gives us the spiritual vision we need.
