What feeling does the word command evoke in you? Do you view commands as something hard, frustrating, and grievous? For many of us, God’s commands can make us feel frustrated and burdened because we view them as something we must do in our own effort. But did you know obedience to God’s commands is supposed to be a joy and even a liberty?
In today’s guest episode with Caleb Reed, your view of God Himself will be challenged as you see commands from a totally different perspective. God’s commands don’t flow from a desire to make us just behave and “stay in line.” His commands flow from a heart of love. God’s commandments are an invitation from our loving heavenly Father to go deeper into a relationship with Him. If we find that obedience is a burden and a chore, it doesn’t mean that the command is wrong. It simply means that our view of God is off and we don’t understand His heart of love in giving the command. When we see and understand His love for us, obedience will become a joy.
Caleb Reed is an evangelist who travels full time with his family preaching in churches, camps, and Christian schools. He and his wife Emma have 3 children. They have a burden specifically for the local church. They desire to come alongside local pastors and aid them in equipping the saints.
