Good morning! Have you ever felt a sense of rebellion? In this world, that is supposed to be "cool". To be a rebel is to have an independence that most people do not have. However, in Christ we are to be cleansed of that rebellion, although we have a bad habit of trying to pick up that old burden. I felt that sense of rebellion this morning, and I didn't like it at all. This sense of wrongness in rebellion will grow more acute as I grow in Jesus. Just as a spouse or child comes to know that he or she is in the wrong from that look, so we come to realize more quickly when we are in rebellion to the Lord. Rebellion is sin, and we know who the first rebel was and how badly he wants everyone else to rebel against God. To be in rebellion is to be turning away from God, and that does not feel "cool" to one with Christ in his heart. With the Holy Spirit in our hearts, we don't want to be independent, for that is the way to death and destruction. There will be a lot of lonely rebels in Hell. As for me, I want to be in Jesus and have Him in me, as promised to those who will believe.
Let the glory of the Lord shine in your heart today!
