Remember the Lord

Scripture 2 Sam 14:11 Then she said, “Please let the king remember the LORD your God, and do not permit the avenger of blood to destroy anymore, lest they destroy my son.” And he said, “As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground.”

Observation: Remember the Lord is similar to remember the Lord’s commandments. Remember the Lord is like that saying What Would Jesus Do? It is living your life for God, the way life is to be lived. Before you get angry, make a plan, treat others without love, or do your job, remember the Lord. Let him guide you ,remember his word and obey. God has put the way to respond to any situation in his world and if you’re still not sure the Holy Spirit is with us to guide us, but we must stop and remember the Lord. We can’t act rashly, our motives must be of God and we are to act out of love, that is remembering the Lord, remember you belong to Him.

Application: I have a difficult time of waiting on the Lord. I react quickly and out of self-interest and not God’s. I need to be with God all day long in prayer and meditation, I need to fill my mind and heart with his commands. No matter what I do I need to remember my Lord first and then act and act out of the love for God. My life is to be a living sacrifice holy and pleasing to my Lord and that can only be done if I’m obedient to his commands.

Prayer: My Lord you deserve the best that I have and my best is you. Draw me closer to you fill my mind with the way You want me to live and guide me through this life until it’s time to come home.
