“Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6).
Many servants of God face moments of doubt, when they cannot clearly see their names in the book of life. The heart trembles, wondering if the Lord has truly begun a work of salvation in their soul. However, there is something essential that everyone needs to observe: if they are able, in sincerity, to place themselves at the feet of obedience and express before God the true desire to live according to His will. Those who have already bowed in humility before the divine majesty know these longings that rise up to the Lord of Hosts.
This is where we understand the urgency of following the magnificent Law of God and His extraordinary commandments. It is not fleeting feelings that define eternal destiny, but a life marked by faithfulness. God only reveals His plans to the obedient, and only those who surrender to His Law are sent to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. The soul that seeks to obey with all its heart finds security on the path prepared by the Creator.
Therefore, live in such a way that obedience is your daily mark. When the Father sees a heart willing to honor His commandments, He sends that soul to Jesus, and it will dwell among the living in heaven. Adapted from J.C. Philpot. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Beloved Father, I thank You because You see the deepest part of my heart. Teach me to deal with doubts by keeping my eyes fixed on obedience, which is the safe path You have established.
My God, help me to maintain a humble spirit, able to bow before You in sincerity. May each of Your commandments find a living place in me, and may my desire to obey be constant and true.
Oh, beloved Lord, I thank You for reminding me that it is through obedience to Your Law that I walk towards Your Son. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is a steadfast light for my soul. Your commandments are pearls that I desire to keep with joy. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
