Don’t serve those things over which you, suppose to dominate according to the will of God
Hello, dear friends!
Thank God for this wonderful day that the Lord has granted unto us and thank God for yet another opportunity to be filled with the living word from Him!
I would like to share with you today one vital lesson from the Gospel of Mark. 2:27-28:
“ And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath”
In this short statement of Jesus Christ there is a very important lesson hidden for us. God is saying here that the sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath.
In life it is often possible to observe such a picture whereby those things over which man is meant to dominate are dominating over him instead. This distortion of the order established by God often results in many tragic problems in people’s lives today.
Dear friend, how does this apply to your life? Are you in possession of things or they are in possession of you? Do you own things or they own you?
In the Bible we are told that God gave dominion to man to use all things to the glory of God (Gen. 1:28). Are you ruling or exercising control over the things that God has placed under you or these things are rather ruling over you and controlling your life?
For example, some people are under the complete control of cigarettes. Think once again about what the Lord is saying to us today: “…” The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath”
Don’t become the servant of those things that should submit to you and serve you.
This is the word of the Lord to you today: Don’t serve those things over which you are supposed to dominate according to the will of God.
Money, alcohol, drugs, sex, pleasure, food, and many other things such as these ones-all of them should be under your feet. Don’t allow any of these things to dominate or rule over you.
May God bless you today and give you understanding!
