“And that servant, which knew
his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will,
shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things
worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. …...” Luke 12:47-48
The song of victory is preceded by
the cry of battles. Challenges come to all but your victory is guaranteed as a child
of God. You must walk in your God-given victory. The only reason why a child of
God can be beaten by life’s challenges is if he or she is out of the will of
God. This can happen if you don’t know God’s
will or you know but don’t do it. Our text says that the servant who knew the
Lord’s will and did not do it would be beaten with many stripes while the one
who did not know shall be beaten with few stripes. Either way, the person gets
beaten. I do not want to be beaten in the battle of life, whether with few
stripes or many. I don’t think you want to be beaten either. So what should you
do? Seek to know the face of God in every situation you find yourself and do whatever
He tells you.
“Therefore whosoever heareth these
sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built
his house upon a rock: And the rain
descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;
and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of
mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his
house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”
Matthew 7:24-27
You will always enjoy God’s
covering, protection and security when you deliberately live in His will for your
life and in obedience to Him.
May you always be at the center of
God’s will for your life in Jesus name.
Prayer
for today: Oh God keep me in the light of your word and
at the center of your will in Jesus name.
