OBEDIENCE - IT IS A LAW Sunday, October 6, 2013 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. Jeremiah 7:23 KJV Dear in Christ, You’re in for a pleasant surprise. Look at this! To be ushered into turmoil blindly and then go out into uncertainty, surly was not the purpose of Man’s existence. Life must mean more than this, and it does mean more. Man should be a builder, and to him is given all the materials out of which to construct the kind of life he desires to live. He builds in wisdom or in ignorance, according to his obedience, according to his understanding of a Divine Law and the use of it in his daily life. Know this! The word “obey” means to submit to rule or to comply with orders or instructions. Obedience then, is the governor of all movements, whether it is mechanical, literal, or spiritual. A giant machine without its governor would tear itself apart, would be utterly destroyed because it failed to obey its own laws of momentum or gravity. An intellectual giant who fails to comply with the laws of learning will become as an idiot. A student failing to comply with or to obey the Instructions Of Spirit, the Law of God, will reverse that good and create evil. What I’m leading to be this; we are dependent entirely on obedience for our success or failure in this life. Here’s why: Disobedience to the Law is the refusal to do what we know is right. We all know the right, but we do not always do it because it seems to interfere or delay our immediate attainment of the object we see. We want quick returns, forgetting that the Law moves slowly, yet it works perfectly and well. We want instantaneous healing of our diseases, but we are loath to give up the net of habits that caused them. This we promise: The God-governed man is never in doubt as to the results to be gained by following the principle, for the principle is based on law and obedience. So this Law can have only one result: happiness, peace, and prosperity. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. Job 36:11 KJV
