There are many people who say they want to serve the Lord, but don’t accept to obey their parents, teachers, employer, authorities.

                        The real desire to serve never comes without obedience. That’s why we must learn to obey, if we want to serve God. If we don’t know how to follow orders, if we rebel ourselves against our superiors, how can we pay obedience to the laws of God?

                        When we disagree of some point of view of those we must submit to, we don’t have to remain silent; it will always be possible to go through the subject respectfully, and, most times, solve it. However, many believe that rebelling is the best option, so they argue and sometimes even incur in physical aggression. How can confrontation make thing better?

                        On each moment of our lives, each one of us has a task to fulfill; if at the present our task is to obey, let’s accomplish it rationally and with joy.

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness to your heart, as unto Christ;

Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive whether he be bond or free.”

Ephesians, 6: 1, 5, 6 and 8

                        I wish you an excellent and blessed week!
