1 Kings 8:61
"But your hearts must be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by His decrees and obey His commands, as at this time."
"AS AT THIS TIME..."
Another version states:
"And may you be completely faithful to the Lord our God. May you always obey His decrees and commands, just as you are doing today."
"JUST AS YOU ARE DOING TODAY..."
Yesterday's obedience is exactly what it sounds like;
PAST ACTIONS!
The Lord requires Faithfulness, Commitment & Devotion that far exceeds our circumstances on any given day!
If things went well in your life yesterday & you were faithful, YAY!
But if things go downhill today, God still requires the same!
"OBEDIENCE TO GOD IS NOT BASED ON CIRCUMSTANCES!"
"INSTEAD, OBEDIENCE TO GOD IS ROOTED IN LOVE!"
The Anointing of God flows through the avenues of obedience which belong to the present, not the past!
"GOD DOES NOT FLOW THROUGH YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF YOUR PAST OBEDIENCE, BUT BECAUSE OF YOUR PRESENT DESIRE!"
God's Presence is exactly what it sounds like;
IT IS PRESENT, NOT PAST!
"An unhealthy confidence in your past accomplishments can endanger your future goals!"
"LORD, HELP US TO BE FULLY COMMITTED TO YOU!"
"NOT JUST TODAY, BUT TOMORROW TOO!"
God bless you all! Enjoy your day with the Lord!
