Morning by Morning, October 19 - All Things "As to the Lord"
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Speak to my spirit and guide my steps in the way of life and truth in You today. ...
"Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is slave or free. And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening; knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him" (Ephesians 6:5-9 NKJV).
You're my Master and my Maker. You're my Heavenly Father and my Best Friend. You're the Lover of my soul and the Lord of my life. You are my "All in All" (1 Corinthians 15:28).
Out of my relationship with You, You call me into right relationship with others. And no matter the nature of those relationships -- husband and wife, children and parents, masters and slaves -- Your Spirit and Your Word is always reminding me and always leading me to keep You in the center of them all (Ephesians 5:21-6:9).
Whatever I do in every relationship I have, You invite me and empower me to do all things "as to the Lord," to do all things with the right motive "in sincerity of heart, as to Christ," and to do all things -- even in the freedom of all Your mercy and grace -- as a "bondservant of Christ." For it's only in Your will that I am free. It's only in keeping You at the center of all I am and all I do in every relationship I have that I will be fulfilled and fully alive -- "made alive in Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:22). By the mercy of Your grace, lead me and empower me to live like that today. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
