Acts 5:29 (NKJV) 29 ...: We ought to obey God rather than men.
We are very unusual characters today, our spirituality consists mainly on how we feel, do I feel like going to church, do I feel like giving back to God, do I feel like worshipping today, all indications of a heart not in tune to God. What should we do, I am so glad God has the answer?
Jesus is the perfect example of how to live in the flesh and walk by the Spirit, that was easy for Him, He is the Son of God. However, Jesus says to you and me, "Follow Me."
We are not following Christ when our habits display what is really inside, no hunger for fellowship with other believers, no desire to spend time communicating with God, (closet time) no drive to worship with the whole heart, what we are left with is a dish rag religion. Immediate obedience when God comes calling is often put off to when we feel like it, that is not Spiritually Living, and God says in, Romans 8:14 we must be "led by the Spirit" to prove we belong to Him.
"Not feeling it," have you asked why, it is not God, He is waiting on you, right now ask God to forgive sinful living, right now say to Him, I have been playing Christianity, ask Him to come into your life and begin a new relationship with Him. If you do not, the only excuse you have is, "I didn't want to!"We ought to obey God!
Heavenly Father, Your Word is clear we must trust You and You must be the center of our lives, help me today to follow You with all my heart, trust You in all that occurs, wait on You for all I need, and live for You today, like tomorrow will never come. Amen
