Obedience.
Our society teaches us that we are our own boss, we are the ones in control of the things around us. We are the reason for all that happens in our lives. In reality, how much of a handle do we have on the things of our lives?
Its easy to take our own path, and make our own decisions. As we grow up, our school's teach us to prepare for the world, how to take on fiances, how to prepare for a career and work hard. But how many of us have woke up in the morning and asked themselves "Am I really doing the right thing?" Why do we question what we are doing when we are being prepared in school?
Something tells me were missing something in this equation.
How many of us have stumbled and fallen on our own path? Fallen into the social norms? How many of us are really as strong as we think? Do we really have what it takes to make it on our own?
At age fifteen, we are aloud to get our learner's permit. We have our first chance to be behind the wheel and feel some growth in who we are. In this process we have to take drivers ed, learn about the rules and etiquette. If you are anything like me you took that class seriously because you want your freedom, that chance to finally be able to leave your parents home on your own free will.
Once the age of sixteen hits, we all have a chance to get our licences. We no longer have any one telling us the rules, how to take a right turn, how to correctly stop and yeild for pedestrians. Of our own free will, we do what we want.
Or do we?
Of course we dont, we get in trouble if we drive on the wrong side of the road, go faster then what they have designated. Rules are still there, but now its up to us to follow them, its in our hands on whether or not we are going to disobey the law. If we do go down that road, we pay a price, a heavey price for our actions.
Just like in the case of Moses, when God first appeared to him God told him he was going to take his people out of Egypt. Free them from the actions of Pharaoh, but as Moses journey went on he struggled with what God told him to do, and in the end he couldnt go into the promise land with God's people. When Moses went on his own and did his own thing he was lost, and failed because he took out the most imporant thing.
God.
For just one second, think of all the times you choose not to walk the path God set for you and how it affected you.
Where were you without God?
