A Reliance On The Son And Spirit Of God

To truly have right worship, we must rely on God’s Son and His Spirit. #daybydaylw Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!   ~~~   We need a perfect King. And that is why we need someone better than David. Someone who doesn’t forget God’s word or neglect it, but follows it completely and fully. Someone who does have clean hands and a pure heart. This is why we don’t hold David up as a character to emulate, but rather as a pointer to someone greater, to Jesus. Jesus is the better David. And since He is the perfect man, He can be our perfect King, who conquered sin and Satan and death. He can lead us in the worship God deserves, and He does so by the Spirit he gives us in salvation. Continuing to live in a dislocated manner will bring havoc into all parts of life, but restoring worship to its proper place results in the right type of fear and joy. In 1998, that dislocated finger brought pain into my life, to where I couldn’t operate, couldn’t live, couldn’t play ball, like I was designed to. And no matter how much my coach pulled and jerked on that finger, it wasn’t going back into place. I needed the work of a professional, a doctor. He came and set things right. He restored me. And that is the promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He, and only He, can restore our worship, can re-center our lives, can empower us to live out God’s word. He is the doctor. He is the King. A reverence for God, a return to His word, and a reliance on His Son and Spirit are far more important than the appearance of worship.
