Does your life seem out of rhythm or as some would say, “Out of sorts”? Does it seem like some areas might be in rhythm while others are out of rhythm. The rhythm that God desires in our life is when all components work together to create beautiful music that we call life. After establishing the fact that God had given His people rest/peace/rhythm, Solomon says “The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. May he not leave us or forsake us”. It begins with, “The Yahweh our Elohim”. That is like saying “The Lord (Master) our God (Mighty Creator). That is desiring God in His rightful position. We must give God His rightful seat at the table of our life. He has to be the conductor of the music we live by if we are to ever find the rhythm He desires in our life and we desire to find. It is He and He alone that brings the music of our life into rhythm. But, if He is not Lord and Master, our lives will be out of order, out of tune, out of rhythm. Here are the words of Jesus.
Luke 14:26-27, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.”
We cannot be a disciple of Christ’s until we give Him his rightful position in our lives. There is no way around it. He is to be Lord and Master in order for the rhythm He created us to live by to be realized and enjoyed. It is abandonment of our life to Him. If you will lose your life to Christ you will find it. If you die to the flesh you will live in the spirit. It’s your choice. Just let God know what role He is to play.
