6/4/2011 - LJ "Disciplin yourself"

Scripture:
Romans 16: 26 "but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith."

Observation:
I think the versus is saying that its not only living by God's law that we are preaching and justifying that we are Christian. But it takes lot more than just living by God's law and righteousness. Letting God enter and lead the way, having faith in the Lord regardless of the circumstances and situation. In the meantime while accepting and not judging others of belief. Obey God's directions, law and having faith in God. I know this seems much but it is not an easy task to be a Christian. It take much more then just words that "I am Christian" it take much for discipline and consistency. Hence the versus in Romans 16, it is command of God to be faithful and lead my faith onto God, and while doing so live in the law which he had righteously laid out for us. God must have been disappointed with many of his servants, to be adamant of what faithful servant of God is about, and how we gain eternal life as it is said in the Bible.

Application:
All the defamation of character has been told by fellow families who call themselves Christian, I know they are hypocrite Christian, who give bad name to Christians. They are liars who need to lie again to cover what they had lied about. Now how is that anything like living in God's law or having faith in Him. For me regardless of the pain and suffering, it is so small in comparison to what God has gone through. Especially through such situation, need to be more obedient and discipline myself to seek answers in his words, and lean on the our Father for he will reward the faithful servants. I choose not to be the same as them, or judge, but love them regardless so that when God does come to judge us, I won't be caught living a hypocrite life.

Prayer:
Father God, our amazing Father God, mold my heart to be obedient and disciplined. Father I need your help, I am weak and unable to do this on own. Father God, give me the strength to serve and live in your law and regardless all the discretion and pain in my family life, for those who call them "our family" to be doing less then any insects can be doing, that we can fall into you with our pain, sorrow and anxiety. Father don't let our heart be angered but pray for those who are lost and cannot be truth within themselves. Father God, thank you for your blessing and love. Your love you have showered to our family and myself. Father God, continue to mold my heart and lead my life in servantful way in which you have plan for me. Thank you for all the greatest and smallest gift in life and I love you for your non judgement love and cross you carry to relinquish me from the darkness. Father continue to shown light upon my life. In your holy name amen.
