Rewards
A
common phrase used in Southern child-rearing says: “Act like you
belong to somebody.”
Act
like you belong to somebody.
When
we give up living life off our own energy and will, we are
essentially telling God that we give up control, that we wish to be
owned. We come under new management, if you will. There are benefits
to being under management: protection by representation.
When
we set out to accomplish the task God sets before us, we become
servant messengers like the parable in Matthew 21:33-41. Those who
choose to hurt us and our purpose, must answer to God, for we are but
servants doing what we are told.
A
well-known preacher whenever studying difficult Bible texts, is fond
of telling his congregation, “these aren't my words, I just work
here,” and so it is with us. We are co-laborers with Christ, He is
in charge.
Anyone having a problem with our obedience according to
His charge can bring their complaint to Him.
