Good morning! Bone head weather forecast for today: it will be hot. Yes, it's July and the night did not cool off very much, so my forecast is not any evidence for psychic or forecasting ability. Praise the Lord for the new day! Good news for those going to the lakes or oceans, the hot weather will make the water feel that much better, especially if the water is cool. I'm crying again this morning, must be something the cat got into or something outside when I was walking around the yard. Allergies, the new way to make a grown man cry.
How do we go about fulfilling our duty? What is there to help us to do that which is required and to obey the authorities put over us? Our rebellious sin nature will fight against it, the flesh will want to go its own way. Those rebellious thoughts will come, and certainly we should not submit to evil powers. The desire to follow the flesh is strong, but courage and strength are found in the Lord. Baby steps as we grow in our walk of faith lead us to start small. When a boss heaps yet another task on your plate, take a breath, work with your boss to prioritize tasks, and do what you can during your work time. Above all, pray and read the Word. Gather with the Lord often for prayer and reading. I think the best way to start learning how to obey is to simply pray, "Lord, help me to obey."
Let the wisdom of the Lord shine on us today.
