Who Is My Master?

Scripture: 2 Peter 2: [19] They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity–for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.

Observation: For the longest time depression was my master and controlled all that I did. Even today I will hear the call of my old master trying to draw me close to him again. My master now is my Lord and savior, Jesus, and I need to stay attentive to Him so I don’t get dragged back to my old life.

Application: I need to spend more time with my Lord so that I may understand His desire for my life. There are so many things that I can’t do and one of the main ones is running my own life and knowing what is best for me. Jesus is the master of my life and He loves me and wants what is best for me, so why would I resist His calling on my life?

Prayer: My Lord you know I struggle every day and even now as I’m writing this I’m feeling horrible and am wondering what is happening in my body. Instead of focusing on my pain open my eyes to what you desire of me and give me strength to go on to complete the tasks you have set for me. I do love you, help me live a life that would prove that.
