ALIGNED TO ACHIEVE

Whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

1 JOHN 3:22

AS BELIEVERS, we know that success in life isn’t quantum physics or rocket science. If we follow Christ’s directions, He promises to make our lives richer and more rewarding than we can imagine. If we obey His commands, our hearts will be aligned with His heart and He will delight in answering our prayers.

But do we know what He demands of us? And do we even care? The answers to these questions may not be simple. Somehow, many of us have divorced the biblical truth we’ve learned from our daily lives. If we’re pressed to remember, we can think of some commands God has given us. Let’s see now, don’t murder, don’t lie, and don’t commit adultery. But many of us don’t let God’s commands to love and forgive others infuse our daily relationships at home and at work. We leave our church services and go right back to harboring resentments, withholding affection, and blaming people who fail to measure up to our standards.

First, then, we need a refresher course on what God commands us to be and do in every relationship and in every situation. Once we know His instructions, we then need to remember that our choices touch His heart. He is the infinite, Almighty God, but our attitudes and actions bring a smile or a frown to His face. If we know Him at all, we want to make Him smile.

Every command God gives us is for our own good and to expand His Kingdom through us to show His love to others. Our obedience is important. People’s lives depend on it.
