AS YOU WERE! – 1 Corinthians 7:22 Devotional

AS YOU WERE​​​​​​!

1 Corinthians 7:22 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 7:22

“For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.

God has a calling that is unique for each of us. Remember that we serve a God that knows each sparrow by name and knows how many hairs you have on your head. That applies for what you had when you were young and what remains now. Ouch!

When I was in the military, when a ranking officer entered a room it was called to attention. Everyone immediately stood at attention with their hands rigidly at their side. The officer would then command; AS YOU WERE! Everyone then continued their previous activities.

Even though everyone returns to what they were engaged in, they were under the authority of the superior officer. The ranking officer may or may not be involved with each person, but they were charged with the obligation to serve as directed.

When God received us into His family we became subject to His commands as well as His presence. When He commands AS YOU WERE! It does not give us the freedom to do anything we like. It means we are free to serve Him and to please Him by doing what He wants us to do!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!
