Recently, I have been failing in a recent commitment to discipline myself in study and obedience. I committed to scheduling 4 studies during the week, in early morning. The study included that of Scripture, Spanish, as well as physical exercise. Lastly, I want to be open to change from the routine that would be established, whenever God called!
I have been failing. I must continue to die to the flesh, when it lazies into bed in the morning. I need to re-realize everyday, that everything we have is from God, and to use everything for His Glory! As for the rebellion that I often feel, the rebellion by which I do what I want, how can I not walk in it? By surrendering to God as soon as I realize that rebellion! I must run to God!
The rebellion results in nothing but works done in vain; that is, works that are useless. I have rebelled this morning, when I went to make a phone call, contrary to God's call to read Scripture. The goal that I had by making that phone call did not come to pass.
Though I have experienced this rebellion before, with its consequences, I did it again.
O, how mightily patient our Lord is!
