The walk of obedience is not a walk of works. It's not the things I do. It is an attitude walk...the things I think while I'm walking. Check out what the Lord told me this morning:
Gal 5:13-15
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
NKJV
Do you see what I see? I see the price of disobedience. I am free, like I said, not to do what I want, but I'm finally free to do what He wants me to do, which is all I ever wanted to do in the first place. All the entertainment in this world ends here. There it's only relationship...with Him first, and then with each other. If my time here is consumed exercising my freedom in my own entertainment, I have nothing waiting for me there, because I've left my treasure behind.
And I'm willing to sacrifice my friends here for the sake of my own entertainment, and that's what consumes me. Talk about hell fire. I'm lighting the match by what I do in spite of my neighbors today! God forgive me.
Today is the only day He's given me. Today, I've determined to walk in love, to see in what I can be what He wants me to be...I want Jesus in me to be all you see, all my family sees. It's all I've ever wanted.
I remember what He said:
Gal 5:6
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. NKJV
