Mark 1:22
The people were
astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not
as the scribes.
I have talked about and trained people on
Six Sigma, the quality methodology, for years now. And, I have also helped teams to solve
manufacturing problems through its methods and tools. Now, can I say that I am an authority on Six
Sigma? Yes, maybe, for I have been doing
this for 15 years already and holds Blackbelt certification to say that I am.
Now, I am making this daily devotions almost everyday
for 3 years now. I have relived my life,
I have searched my conscience, I have poked my mind… and searched the Web for
answers. Now, can I say that I am an
authority on and about God? Definitely,
no.
For no one is an authority about Him except His one
and only Son, Jesus.
We listen and follow people about almost every things
– about diet, being beautiful, being rich, being a good lover. It is easy for us to believe in them and in
no time, practice what they preach.
And so, Jesus is sharing with us this love of the
Father. He wants us to live a life that
is totally committed to Him. He shared
parables, stories, sermons and even did miracles for us to believe in the power
of God in making our lives the best there is.
And all we need is to read His Word, take It to your
heart and apply it to your life. Why is
it so difficult for us to believe and practice what He preaches? Start learning about Jesus. His life should become our inspiration and
our goal to follow.
Let Him be the one, true and only authority in our
lives.
Let us pray +
Almighty
Father, You taught us
everything about life and how to live it fully.
But most of the time, we ignore them and rely on the works of people
instead. May we finally accept your
authority on our lives. Amen
+
You have given your Son rule over the works of your hands.
