Our Scripture reading today is Romans 6:16-18.
Verse 16, "...to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;"
You may be living a yielded life to the wrong authority. Who has the final authority in your life? Ultimately, our actions reveal who or what we are following. If we allow sin to be our master, the end will result will always be death and destruction. Christians are not immune to the affects of living a sinful life. Galatians 6:7 is clear that we will reap what we sow. This can be a positive principle as well. If we yield ourselves to righteous living, there will be much joy and blessing. God always blesses obedience to His Word.
I am reminded of a quote, "There are only two choices on the shelf: Serving God or Serving self." Which one are you serving?
