The Meditation

Have you ever thought of the reasons why people

obey commands?

  1. There are people who obey because they are

afraid. Sometimes children are afraid of their

parents.

  1. There are people who obey because they are

paid to obey. A hired person may do what he is

told to do.

  1. There are people who obey because they hope

for some extra reward.

  1. There are people who obey because they are

in the habit of doing what they are told.

  1. There are people who obey because they love

the one who gives the commands and they

believe in his wisdom!

Christian obedience is to love God and love His

commandments, and this is life at its best—to

love His authority and to have the authority of

love.
