I love this because it shows the respect and fear that the demons have for Jesus. He ran to meet Him and bowed low before Him. Could you imagine if we showed that respect and fear as we accepted Him and said we would follow Him? Well the good news is that we can, when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and He is our comforter, guide and protector. We can take that respect and go much further than the demons by loving Jesus so much we surrender our will and live by learning from God’s word to transform our hearts.
As we open our hearts and start to learn and seek wisdom from the Lord we can mature and when we mature our attitude changes and we don’t desire to please ourselves but work hard to please God by living like His Son. The more we ask the more we will understand and the more we understand the more we will change or as it says in Romans chapter 12 verse 2, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
As we learn to know God’s will for us we will see how perfect it is for us. I don’t know about you but I want my life to be focused on someone perfect. Jesus shows us and gives us that life to follow all we need to do is realize who He is and believe in why He came. Our devotion to studying and learning will help us open our heart to change and that change will keep us following Jesus not trying to lead our own lives. When we can remember that God’s will for us is perfect we can free ourselves to learn and grow, then we can mature and live with peace and joy in this world looking to please God not ourselves. Amen
