walking in the same way as He walked!
adonai
Over the next three weeks, I want to unpack what it means to have God as the Adonai over your life, to let God be the Lord over your life. We’ll go over the lives of Abram, Moses, and Isaiah, and look at how they ceded ownership of their lives to Adonai.
a heart of gratitude
In every circumstance, we should be giving thanks. Give thanks in the good. Give thanks in the bad. Give thanks in the mundane. Give thanks in the frustration. Give thanks in the sad. Give thanks in every moment you get because it’s by God’s goodness that you are here.
it’s your choice
Because of the sacrifice God made and the obedience of Jesus Christ, we are treated as though we have entirely fulfilled the law of God and have never become exposed to its penalty. Speaking personally here, that is just not true. I’d love to say I’ve never sinned, but I’m human and so are you.
rest for the weary
I understand the feeling of feeling like there is no time to rest. Feeling like the to-do list has to be finished before we can rest in the presence of the Lord. But we’ve got it all wrong. Finding rest in the Lord should be our first priority and everything else comes after. Let Him give you rest. Our hearts are longing for His presence.
obedience
Through obedience, we experience the blessings of the Lord. He is the only one who is perfect, only he can walk in a sinless and perfect obedience. As we allow the holy spirit to transform us within, we grow in holiness.
enough
There is beauty in our deficits because that’s where God shines through. It’s where we can really press in and lean into God and who he is. To rely on God is a beautiful thing. To understand that we are nothing without God and to rely completely on him is the sweetest, most powerful thing we can do.
