“So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?”—Luke 6:46 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Help me to fully realize that making Jesus Christ the Lord of my life involves so much more than me just calling out to Him, “Lord, Lord!”
Help me remember that for
Jesus to be my Lord, I must freely surrender my liberty of free will to His
will—and then, and only then, find true freedom.
Help me remember that my
obedience to His instruction is the best measurement of His Lordship over my
life—and that His life is the only standard of comparison which I should use to
examine my life.
Keep me from the hypocrisy
of claiming Christ as my Lord, while choosing to go my own way—allowing my own
fleshly desires to control me, rather than the Spirit of Christ that lives in
me.
Help me to fully realize that making Jesus Christ the Lord of my life involves so much more than me just calling out to Him, “Lord, Lord!”
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
