Weather conditions usually dictate our daily wardrobe choices. If it is hot, we usually wear clothes that are light and airy. When it is rainy, raincoats and umbrellas accessorize one’s outfit. If it is cold, jackets, sweaters, boots, etc. usually appear. The weather condition demands a response.
As Christians, we have to learn to respond to the different “weather” conditions of our Christian walk. Abraham lied to Pharaoh, caused Sarah to be taken, brought plagues upon Pharaoh, and now, Pharaoh wanted him out of Egypt.
And Pharaoh commanded his
men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Gen 12:20 (KJV)
Abraham had to obey Pharaoh’s request to depart. Think about situations in your life that demand a response. You have to be willing to depart from relationships that are unfruitful; give up habits that are self-destructive; and pursue Christ when you recognize spiritual decline.
You
have to obey the situations that confront you. Though situations arise where we
do not know what to do, oftentimes, what we need to do is right before us if we
pay attention.
Prayer of the Week:
“I come before you on today Lord asking for grace to do what I know to
do is right. Help me to have the proper response to the situations that are in
my life. I thank you now. Amen.”
