I am the Lord.
Numbers 3:13
Is God truly the Lord of your Life?
Have you ever considered whether God is truly the Lord of your life, and if so, how is that truth impacting your choices, actions, and priorities?
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “Lord” as one having power, control, and authority over others. In the Bible, ‘I am the Lord your God’ appears over 150 times. God is clearly trying to tell us something. However, unfortunately, today, we live in a culture where God does not seem like the Lord anymore. Though we may have moved away from Him being Lord, the Bible, and its truth hasn’t. The Lord our God doesn’t change, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Genesis 1 tells us God made us. Genesis 2 says Lord God close to eleven times, reiterating that He is indeed Lord, He is the authority, The Lord our God is truly mighty who does signs and wonders (Deuteronomy 7:19) and fights for us (Deuteronomy 3:22). He is holy and calls us to be holy, set apart unto Him (Deuteronomy 7:6). God exalted Jesus as Lord, name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11). Jesus is head of the church (Colossians 1:18) through whom all things came and through whom we live (1 Corinthians 8:6). He reigns and we need to make Him number one.
If God is truly Lord of your life and mine, we would obey Him, love and worship Him alone (Deuteronomy 4:23). We would cling to Him (Joshua 23:8), knowing He is our mighty God. We are meant to be holy, set apart to the Lord called to offer sacrifices. Paul in Romans urges us to recognize and confess Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9).
The Lord our God is powerful and unchanging. His power is evident throughout history and continues to be displayed in the lives of believers today. His unchanging nature gives us hope and security, knowing that He will never leave us or forsake us. As we live in the light of His power and unchanging nature, we can have peace and joy, even amid difficult circumstances. May we always remember that the Lord our God is worthy of our worship, trust, and obedience and we have 10,000 reasons to bless the Lord.
The Lord is God indeed, of that there is no doubt. The question is, do you recognize God as the Lord of your life, with power, control, and authority over everything? In what ways do you seek to obey, love, and worship God alone? Are you yet to confess Him as Lord? Why?
Prayer
Lord, You are indeed the Lord God of all the universe. Help me accept this truth and live in its reality each day, amen.
Scripture Writing: Psalm 18:31
