Foolish Moon

Lexington, SC / By / November 2, 2017 /

YHC was glad the see a bright moon this morning as it points the way to one of YHC’s favorite routines.  We haven’t done The Howler in a while and it is always a great way to start a day.  There was also a void at Ambush this morning. No poop jokes or stories for 45 minutes. The quietness we enjoyed from the absence of P Jam made this morning different.  Hoist even hinted that the fullness of the moon was romantic.  Thankfully it disappeared before anything weird happened.  The men worked hard and got better, one rep at a time.

Devo:

If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
John 14:15 ESV

A passion to obey the Lord doesn’t typically just spring up, full-blown, when we get saved. We do enter our new life in Christ with a desire to please Him, but a determined pursuit of His will develops more slowly and over time.
In fact, when we first believe, we’re typically motivated by fear concerning the consequences of disobedience. This barely qualifies as reverence for God, because it’s more about us than Him. But as we progress in our faith and form a commitment to obey the Lord, we develop a deep love for and devotion to Christ. Wouldn’t you rather follow Him out of love than out of fear?
Progressing from one motivation to the other begins with what you might expect: a growing knowledge of the Lord. As we dig into God’s Word, we learn who He is—His heart, His character, His will. We begin to see how He has provided in the past and trust that He’ll provide in the future. People like Mary, David, and Paul weren’t satisfied with what the world had to offer, and we won’t be either once we witness God’s hand at work. We’ll recognize the wisdom of obeying our heavenly Father—not just because of the promised blessings, but because He knows what’s best and loves us.
Where are you on the spectrum between fear and devotion? It is my hope that you’ve committed to obeying God and that you’re reading His Word daily to learn how to stay faithful to those intentions. God wants your best—your passionate pursuit of His will—and is giving His best to you.
