1st Corinthians 10: 31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God.
It is just as important to obey, when you are in a solemn assembly, as when you might be out and about with friends, on a picnic, a birthday party, or at a wedding. The robe of Christ’s righteousness is not only to be worn on Sabbaths, it is to be worn at the gym, the grocery, the workplace, the restaurant, the beach and any and everywhere the Christian may go. In this way, when you conscientiously set your mind to do His will through the freedom of choice He will guide you, and keep you, because it was in your heart to obey Him.
God’s revealed will does not take a vacation when the Christian is rejoicing for whatever reason. The will of God is to be consulted in every situation so that His word may be honored. Therefore, when we pass our varying situations of rejoicing through the litmus test of His word, and follow His revealed will, there will be no reason to be afraid of Him, because God is love.
The disposition to think that just because He is a loving God, that His instructions wouldn’t matter that much is one of the precursors to questioning His justice, whenever it occurs. God wants us to rejoice always, but in doing so, let’s try to be in harmony with His revealed will always.
1st Samuel 6:19 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
