To Honor God

John 15:10 - Jesus said, "If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in His love."

All through our lives we encounter rules. Our job as a Christian is to follow the rules. We can't always do what we want, but have to / need to obey the rules.

Each day you make decisions. God gave us free will. You have a choice: to honor God by living as the Bible directs or rebelling against God by doing only what you want to do. God wants to guide you toward wise choices about how you live. With loving arms God waits for you to trust and obey.

Make a list of your recent decisions. In which of them did you consult God for directions? Life is meant to be a partnership between you and God.

You may not realize that people are watching you looking up to you as an example of how to live as a Christian.
