Perseverance through Obedience

Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
Your Faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth and it endures.
Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.
If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
I will never forget your precepts, for by them they have preserved my life.

Psalm 119:89-93


Don’t you know this morning that God’s law is not a list of do’s and don’ts that have been put in place in order to control your actions but quite the contrary; it is indeed a boundary for believers to live in that protects and preserves our lives here in this fallen world. You see, God loves you so much that he gave His life in order that you could be free from the chains and bondage of sin that are present in this fallen age. He wants to see you live an abundant life that abides in Him and be free to love and serve and choose wisely in accordance with His perfect will and plan for your life. In order to accomplish this awesome task, He has provided the most secure and solid foundation for you to build your life around – the Word of God! His Word gives direction and guidance as to how you should live your life and how you should exercise your free will in order to make the most of your new life in Him. The enemy would have you believe that it is better and more satisfying and fulfilling to choose to disobey God and live outside of His will in order that you would revert back to your own fleshly desires that will do nothing but lead you astray and back into slavery to sin. Don’t believe his lies today, live according to God’s will, choose wisely as you study His Word and stay connected to His Spirit that lives inside of your heart of hearts and you will indeed persevere as you obey your heavenly Father in your journey of knowing and loving Him.
