“So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?” (Luke 6:46 NLT).
Jesus made it clear that those who call Him “Lord,” should obey His word. He taught that obeying His word would not prevent life’s storms, but it would build a strong foundation that would endure any storm. However, the one who only pays lip service to Jesus as Lord, not doing what He says, will be swept away when storms come.
Life’s storms are inevitable. And when they come, they test the authenticity of our faith. Obedience is proof that one has truly recognized Christ as Lord.
PRAYER: Dear Father, we have confessed You Son, Jesus, as our Lord and Savior. We desire to always follow Him, obeying His Word. Strengthen us by Your Spirit to prove ourselves His disciples by our fruit of obedience and love. In Jesus’ name, amen.
