GIVE GOD’S WORD PRIORITY!
|
It’s so easy when a situation comes our way to, first of all try and work it out ourselves! After all, that’s the way we’ve always done it - it is the way we are ‘programmed’ to do it!
Colossians 3:15-16 from ‘The Message’ version says this, “Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other, none of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ, the Message, have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another, using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.” Pretty plain speaking?!
God’s Word is His direction for living - He shows us how to live and how to come through in EVERY situation HIS WAY - Victorious! God’s Way is always the perfect way through, but it probably won’t look that way, because it is usually different from the way we deal with it.
For instance, when sickness hits our body, our natural reaction is to give in to that sickness, and tell those around us how dreadful we feel! God says that Jesus bore our sickness so we don’t have to bear it, so we refuse sickness like we would refuse a thought to rob a bank!! When someone is offensive to us, our natural reaction would be to ‘hit’ back, but God says that His Nature is Love, therefore with His Nature IN us, we respond with His Love no matter how we might feel!
Why should we do things God’s Way? When we obey God, we allow His Kingdom to operate in our lives, putting ourselves in a position to receive His Best. God’s Word is Alive and Powerful, and will change your life!
