Loyally Devoted - Dr. Tom Milam

“Loyally Devoted” 

Romans 8:26-28

July 20, 2013

We cannot change the circumstances that God has chosen to surround us, but He has granted us the power to weather the storm and rise above it. Sufficient grace is realized during the trial, but mercy is only realized after we’ve gone through the trial.

If we are truly saved and desiring to fulfill Gods will for our lives and circumstances bog us down, we must remember, it is God that engineers our lives, and if we blame men for causing our circumstances we will never learn how to praise our way through our problems. We must be loyally devoted to our Savior.  It is He that orders our circumstances. Our true loyalty and character will be proven only through how we reacted during the hard times. We must learn to worship God in the most trying times of circumstances; He will change them at His choosing.

We must be loyal to Christ before we try to prove our loyalty to preaching, teaching or any other work or service. We want God’s blessings, but without responsibility most of the time. We want Christ to do all of the work for us, some of which He expects us to do on our own while we reap the benefit and then we’re bad about fussing over the circumstances that God has ordained, to teach us what true loyalty is all about. May we arise to the occasion with faith undaunted.

“Just Thinking”

All things work for the good of God’s child; Purposefully, deliberately called to be loyal
