In obedience to God!

Mark 9:7" And there was a cloud that over shadowed them:and a voice came out of the cloud, saying,This is my beloved son: hear him."

God sent His Son to provide us with an example of how to live our lives.Through his Son we are to establish a deeper relationship with the Father.He wants us to follow Jesus,that's it.It's like rebellious children being shown the proper way to behave.

Jesus was sent to reveal the truth to those who would follow Him, and those who desire eternal life.As the transfiguration demonstrated,He holds all the power in heaven and earth in his hands.The goal is for our lives to reflect His life.We have no excuses for not obeying him if we are serious about our spiritual growth.We have His words given to us in the bible,and this is our tool to study as we follow Him in our life's journey.

Jesus came to tell us what God's will is for us.We pray for it to be revealed to us,but sometimes we don't accept it,questioning His authority over our lives.This is a form of disrespect.When we listen to and obey God,we are showing respect,love,and adoration for him.Listening to Jesus includes understanding how we should pray to him.We cannot just talk to him and make request;we have to listen for His answers.Sometimes that means just being quiet and patient,waiting for an answer.Our prayers should be a conversation,catch and throw,instead of just giving Him a list of several things we need from him.

we should be reminded that Jesus has already conquered death and set us free.Knowing this,we can face the crazieness of the world with the confidence that our ruler is as powerful as God said he is.We just have to continue to consult Him and not just make decisions without his counsel.Jesus can only be heard by those who will listen to him.We must open our hearts and our minds to his control and acknowledge Him as the ruler of our lives.If we show the Father the authority He deserves,we will be rewarded.
