What do you
think? Do you think God wants you to
obey Him or man? The answer is obvious;
we must obey God. The problem comes in
when what God dictates conflicts with what man dictates. The two often do conflict and to not obey man
can create some very difficult, and even bad, consequences. If we truly want to honor and please the
Lord, we must be willing to face whatever consequences our obeying God would
create. We have to answer to God on
Judgment Day, not man.
Rarely do we find that
man's ways are fully in line with God's ways.
The mind of man does not always comprehend the mind of God. The heart of man is not always in line with
God's heart. Thus when laws are made by
man, there is bound to be conflicts. It
is our responsibility to develop Biblically minded minds so that we can
recognize when man's laws are not in agreement with God's laws. We must be into the Word of God consistently
enough to recognize when we must disobey man's laws in order to obey God's
laws, regardless of the consequences it may cause. What happens when we become Biblically minded
is we become so enamored by Christ that we cannot disobey God.
Are you to the point
where you just can't help yourself, that you just have to obey God? Is your faith such a part of you that you do
not compromise God's laws for anyone, regardless of personal cost? If not, get into the Word of God until it
gets in you and takes hold of you. Get
into your prayer closet until Christ rubs off on you. Live life to the fullest in Christ and you
won't be able to stop telling others about the wonderful things Christ is doing
in you.
