Is disobedience the "disease" or the "symptom"? We are created to share in the relationship that the FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT have shared for all eternity. Their unity is the result of their absolute love and trust with one another. We can do good things or "obey" and yet not trust HIM, thereby losing our relationship with HIM. But, one cannot trust GOD and be disobedient to HIM. Disobedience is the "symptom" of mistrust in GOD'S nature and love. GOD wants us to relate to HIM in love rather than obey HIM in fear. The power of trust is to make GOD'S TRUTH the focus of every event, every sorrow, every prayer with the unshakable conviction that GOD loves us and is totally trustworthy. GOD knows that love flourishes where trust does, and real trust comes only where people are free to reject it. Psalm 37:5, "Commit your way to the LORD; trust HIM, and HE will act." HE LOVES US ENOUGH TO LET US GO. Now there is a thought for today!
Psalm 139: 23-24 Isaiah 43:1 GOD IS GOD!
