Read Luke 11:14-28 SOAP Luke 11:17, 28
Verse 28 especially hit home with me today. Although I am certainly not the virgin Mary, I often find myself esteemed because of who I am related to. (I am sure several of you ladies find yourself in this position too.) People often think more of me because of my parents or grandparents. Although I appreciate the sentiment and kindness from those who love my family, it does not negate my obligation to walk by faith on my own. Mary was Jesus' mother, but still needed a Savior. I am a pastor's wife, daughter, & granddaughter, but I still need a Savior. I cannot depend on anyone's faith but my own. I alone must "hear the Word of God and keep it." Father, help me take full responsibility for my relationship with you, knowing that I will be held accountable for how I practice your Word and let it rule my life.

ReplyDeleteMy thought life determines who I really am and would I be embarrassed at any moment if they were revealed to the world? Maybe, because it could be filled with grumbling, complaining or anger against people and situations. Or would it be sold out to Kingdom of God with glorifying His word all the way. I think we all can say that we lend towards the first part and for me I am in a continually travel to the sold out department. But if I constantly put negative things inside of me how can I be? Romans 8 say a carnal mind is death but a spiritual mind is life and peace, I know I want that for my life and our soap today says blessed are those who hear the word and keep it but if I am not careful I think the grumbling things of my life will steal it away.
Lord help me to be your servant in all things and obey your Word and follow you and not just in what people may see but the hidden parts of my life that are not revealed.
