Are you giving yourself a chance to hear God’s word or is Sunday the only day you think about it? “Put it into practice” can only be done if you know what to do. This takes opening God’s word and studying it filling your heart so you can shine God’s light.
I like Luke 11:36 which says, “If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light.”
To get rid of your dark corners it takes wholehearted commitment and seeking wisdom from the Lord. It’s not by obligation that we do this it’s by desire and love for God. We should be excited that we were given the gift of eternal life through Jesus and that should be all we need to want to be fully devoted followers to Jesus.
I like what Peter says in Acts chapter 5 verse 29, “But Peter and the apostles replied, ‘We must obey God rather than any human authority.”
Then the apostles go on in verse 40-42 to show their love by their actions. “…They called in the apostles and had them flogged. Then they ordered them never again to speak in the name of Jesus, and they let them go. The apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer disgrace for the name of Jesus. And every day, in the Temple and from house to house, they continued to teach and preach this message. ‘Jesus is the Messiah.”
Who is Jesus in your life? Dive in and find out and rejoice that God has considered all of us worthy of His love. Amen
