Good Wednesday morning! When I was young, I thought the cost of living in my parents home was high. Looking back, I laugh at how ridiculous it was to complain. My parents never charged me a cent for living at home, except maybe paying my own car insurance when I had a car. The only cost was obedience, I simply had to obey rules like clean up after myself, be polite, tell the truth, and go to church. The rules werent difficult, but I still had trouble obeying them. My parents didnt kick me out for my disobedience, however. They just reminded me that rules were to protect me, not harm me, and sometimes they made the rules stricter to protect me from myself. Some people think the Bible has too many rules. I wish they could see that Gods commands are for our good; they allow us to live in peace with one another. Obedience is simply the cost of being part of Gods family on this globe He created and allows us to call home. My Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, may we not see obedience as a burden but as a privilege. Help us to be grateful for Jesus, who shows us how to live, and for the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to obey. AMEN
