We're In Charge, Of Us,...Really??

Good Morning, My Friend!! Rarely, if ever, do we give much thought to the fact that we, created by God for his own pleasure and glory,...are permitted by the Creator Himself,...to deny Him.  Even though we are totally dependent on Him for our next breath, with that breath we may declare that He does not exist or that we refuse to do what He wants us to do. We enjoy rain, sunshine, the growth of crops and flowers, sensations, delights, satisfactions of many kinds. Yet we often act as though we were sufficient in ourselves,...needing no interference from Him.

So since God's grace has set us free from the law, does this mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! Don't you realize that whatever you choose to obey becomes your master? You can choose sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God and receive his approval.—Romans 6:15,16 (NLT)

Imagine, I can, by the power mysteriously granted me, by my Creator and Redeemer, declare myself master of my own fate, captain of my soul, and say, "My will be done." How or why the Lord would or should expose Himself to this effrontery in a million forms, for millions of days and nights, is the mystery of love and grace.

Still He draws us with cords of love,...calls us to come, waits for us to bow and say, "My Lord and my God!"

Father in Heaven, today we acknowledge that we live by the very life You gave us,...moment by moment. Amen.
