Why call Him Lord?

46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. Luke 6:46-49

This is one of the most powerful verses in the Bible to me. It is not enough to hear God's word we have to obey God's word. When God gives us a word He gives it to us for our protection, for our benefit. So when the storm comes we can be planted and unmoved by the floods of life. When we don't live according to His word our lives end up falling apart. The results are up to us.

For Jesus to be our Lord we have to allow His words to reign in our lives. Whatever happens our trust in in our Lord Jesus Christ. When we are rooted in Him we can not be moved. For He is unmovable. Life can be simple if we just listen and do what Jesus Christ tells us to do.

Let God reign in your heart that you can be empowered to live out your divine purpose. God bless you.
