Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”
Jesus demands to be Master and Lord of every part of your life.
Is he LORD of you mind, of what you think, read, and believe? Of what you dream about, meditate on, and entertain yourself with?
Is Jesus the Master and LORD of your body? Are you presenting it to Christ as a living sacrifice? Do your eyes belong to Christ? What about your ears? Your mouth? Your hands? Your feet? Your sexual urges? Our eyes can be covetous and never satisfied. Our tongue can do unspeakable harm. Our hands can do the work of the devil. Our feet can take us where we shouldn’t go. And our sexuality can get us in trouble before we know it.
Is Jesus also the Master and LORD of your social life–your friendships, your relationships, your amusements? Always ask yourself these questions: “Can I ask God’s blessings on it? Can I do this to the glory of God? Or will this be a stumbling block to me or someone else?”
Are you calling Jesus “LORD” but not doing what He wants?
Beloved ones,
After honestly asking myself this question, I had to answer yes in many circumstances. We all fall short of this in some ways. The key however, is to commit every day to live more than yesterday doing what the Lord tells us to do. The other key is to honestly admit where we fall short, repent of it and and ask God to help us do God’s will.
Committed,
Dad
