Obeying God 

 

"Peter and the other apostles replied: We must obey God rather than human beings!" Acts 5:29 (NIV)

 

The apostles were told by the Jewish ruling council to stop preaching about Jesus. This council of leaders had the power to punish the apostles if they refused to heed their orders. But, even in the face of persecution and threats, the Apostle Peter assures the council that no matter what, they will obey God. The apostles had made a choice to please God over any man, regardless of religious or political affiliation.

 

Pleasing God is not always easy in the world we live. So much of the world around us contradicts what God says is right and wrong. But, as His children we are to seek to please Him over anyone else. In the face of threats of reprisal we must stay faithful to the Lord and His word! Regardless of whether those threats come from work, political leaders, or religious leaders; our first love and our heart of obedience should always be to the Lord! The psalmist warns us when he says, "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." Let us obey our Lord out of a heart of love for Him! Truly, obedience is the earmark of a disciples love for their Lord!

 

"The person who knows my commandments and keeps them, that's who loves me. And the person who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and make myself plain to him." John 14:21 (MSG)
