How many times does Jesus have to say it before the disciples…and each of
us…gets it? Show how much you love Jesus by being obedient and keeping His Word…His
Commandments. Get it? Got it. Just do it.
Obey. This message is really from the Heavenly Father. Jesus just
delivered it. Jesus tells us over and over that He just speaks what the Father
tells Him to say. Isn’t that just like an obedient Son? He listens and obeys.
He says what He is told to say…He does what He is told to do. Jesus does it in
a loving way…no sulking, whining or complaining. He does it and gives it His best
efforts. Dade W. Moeller, founder of Dade Moeller & Associates, world renown
Health Physicist and author, wrote an encouraging sixteen point speech several
years ago that included Guidelines for
Life—Rules for Success. One of those points was “Do every job a little
better than anyone expects. If it’s good enough, it’s not.” I think that Dr.
Moeller based that on the way Jesus approached life. Do your best—not just good
enough to get by. Those are good words by which to live. Does that fit into your way of doing things?
Will you be totally obedient as you love God and others—not just good enough to get
by?
RSVP: Jesus is calling us to love Him, to keep His commandments—His words.
How will you respond to Him today?
Prayers for today~ Jesus, like it says in Proverbs 7:1, I will keep Your
words and treasure Your commandments within me.
~ May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing
in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalms 19:14 NIV
~ Please continue to guide, protect and inspire me, my family and friends
as we love and serve You by loving others.
