Who’s the Boss?

One of the things that I love about my children’s getting older is the change in the way that they think and speak.  I love to stand and listen to the conversations that they have with one another.  Sometimes I listen, and I realize that my children have gotten more and more mature with each passing year.  There have been some conversations that I’ve heard which have truly amazed me.  It amazes me that children so young can be so perceptive of the world around them.  Just a few days ago, I overheard a conversation that two of my boys were having about God.  Wait until you hear this!

A.J. was singing a song about the Lord, which he obviously was making up on the spot.  He sang, “You are so awesome; You’re the boss J.” Then Robert, being the detailed little person that he is said, “God is not the Boss.” And then A.J. said, “God is the Boss.”  And so being the contenders that they are, Robert and A.J. went toe to toe about whether or not God is the boss until finally, Robert said, “God is not the boss because sometimes people don’t do what He says.”  Wow, out of the mouth of babes!

When I heard him say that, I said to myself: “Then, who’s the boss?”  And this is what I heard in my Spirit: “That is a good question.”

Sometimes I look at the lives of people who say that they love God and live for Him, and I wonder how that is possible when their lives speaks something different.  You see, when a person really gives his/her life to Him, then it is evident in his/her daily walk.  That person dies to his/her self, and his/her wants.  He/She chooses daily to make the most of every opportunity to live for God.  That kind of person really is a child of God.

Saints, if you are going to reach your destiny, then you must realize that you have been “crucified with Christ; nevertheless, you live.”  You must be determined to live a life worthy of His name.

Be blessed, healed, delivered, and set free!
