Today I was taking orders from my Boss -God. How grateful I am that He is a benevolent dictator. It's the benevolent part I'm happy about. The dictator part I tend to gloss over too much I fear.
RJ came over tonight to work on Branch Adventure camp songs... one of which has the bridge of a childhood song -I'm in the Lord's army.... Yes Sir. The boys were doing the motions and it was obvious that I had to take a shot of it for my blog!
"Fear the Lord and obey His commandments" is said more times than I can count in the old Testament. Fearing the Lord isn't something we often work at understanding these days of the 21st Century -even for Christians. It is a reverential fear. Supersaturated respect (to use that cool word I'm trying to use more since yesterday). So much respect that I wouldn't dream of disobeying because I am so very aware of the consequences that could occur should He choose. I think about a General in an Army. Jesus is my General. I think about my War Clothes from Ephesians. I think about the personal discipline the US Army uses with their troops. It occurs to me that I am in need of some Spiritual Boot Camp discipline. If my Boss/General asks me to do something I need to not give any excuses and say Yes Sir with a good attitude. As I typed that last sentence, it so crossed my mind that I asked that VERY thing of my kids -even just today. Hmmmm. I hate it when I see stuff like that.
