There are things that are indicative of the position we are in,
because with God, there is no middle ground
IT IS, OR IT ISNT there is no middle ground with God, and when many are on
the fence, God provides important lessons so that we can become aware of our
actions whether they are right or wrong, through the light of His Word.
This is an important biblical episode that portrays well the significance of FOUR
PRINCIPLES that need to be followed so our relationship with God can be
successful.
TRUST IN HIM
The principal of trusting is not easy for humans to practice. When we are
children, our confidence level usually is at 100%, because we have no reason to
be suspicious of others; but as we grow, we not only accumulate negative
experiences as we also listen to the most experienced voices alerting us to such
things like be cautious, pay attention and be careful because the world is a
dangerous place and not everyone is deserving or worthy of our trust.
After, what happened? Came love and when you got married, you entrusted
your life, because everything that the other person said to youyou believed,
you believed it was true, that is why you joined your life to his in marriage. Is it
not true? Well, it has to be even much more with God, you must believe in His
Word, trust Him above everything and everyone and not in your own strength,
knowledge, or wisdom.
Many people associate the act of obeying to being subservient, the loss of
freedom, of free will. But there is a big difference between obeying the whims of
others or even the laws of a country and OBEYING GOD!
It is true that as children or citizens, we must obey our parents, fulfill our legal
and civic duties, but all of this is very different from the obedience that God
expects of us, because it implies PUTTING HIM IN FIRST PLACE and never,
under any circumstances, make decisions in our lives without first CONSULTING
HIMbecause we just do not want to take the risk of disobeying Him.
Remember the advices that your father gave you? Remember when the Pastor
told you to do something and you did the opposite? What were the
consequences? Surely, they were not the best
Throughout your life, in addition to your own inner voice, you will hear many
counseling voices that will believe that they know what is best for you. However,
the Supreme Advise, the one by which you should always guide yourself by, is
solely and exclusively found in the Word of God, because it is always accurate
and never, ever, will you be deceived!
BE DISCIPLINED

recognition of Gods authority given to someone). Resting upon the Ark was the
Mercy Seat, or Propitiation cover, with two cherubim facing each other with their
wings outstretched. And God would speak to the high priest from between the
golden angels (Exodus 25:10-22).
