Title Day10 Center of Worship
Contents
“Present your members to God as instruments of impartiality.” (Romans 6:13)
Someone has a question for me. “Are you also a believer of ups and downs?”
To be honest, there is no reason to be afraid of God's blessings. There may be differences of opinion on blessing. Still, he loves me so much and knows me best, so I live believing that he will give me the best thing, namely, a blessing.
But it seems that it is never easy to receive blessings from God. The verse of the promise of hope for me in 2006 selected by the church comes to mind.
“All these blessings will come upon me and come upon you, if you obey the word of the LORD your God. You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the field: the offspring of your body, the produce of your land, the cattle of your animals, and the cattle of your flocks. Blessed shall be yours, and blessed shall be your basket and your loaf of bread; blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out" (Deuteronomy 28:2-6).
When I had just picked out the word, I was so happy that the whole story was full of blessings, so I rechecked the more important conditional clauses. "If you obey the word of the LORD your God..."
Obedience to God, surrendering to God and surrendering ourselves is the center of worship, the content of today's meditation. In fact, it is not easy with the measure of my faith to deal with this battle of soaring self-love, self-centered thinking, and self-protection from moment to moment. For the past 20 years, I have always dreamed of a life where I am the center in the love and interest of my parents. Because I grew up with those values.
But God, who came to me belatedly, taught me that I must surrender to Him and acknowledge my limitations.
In the midst of preparing for the national exam, I wanted to have more comprehension and memory. Even today, I know that I am just a greedy human being who is grateful for what I have given and covets what I do not have yet rather than trying to use them.
I'm also battling a cold, and I'm not feeling well, so I couldn't welcome a friend who came from afar today. I'm sorry, but that was my strength. I knew that I was a selfish person who could not truly love others without really trusting in Him.
Other than that, my limitations are too many. In the end, no matter how much I run, I am not God, I cannot become God, and I have no choice but to be a creature of God.
Is there something that you are still hiding without surrendering to God out of sight? There may be something that is holding me tight without my realizing it. In the light of God, I must look back on myself more. Like Paul, let me die dozens of times every day.
When we trust in God and trust in everything, He leads us to victory and gives us peace, freedom, and the blessing of knowing Him more.
