At your command?



At your command? There is an old German saying, Zu Befehl (beefile), Herr Oberst (At your orders, colonel) that Martin Luther had hanging on his study wall. Often a visitor would remark, “Herr Luther, why do you have such a saying on your wall?” He would reply, “Because it reminds me of the one who leads me today!”


Think about it. Jesus put himself over death the same way. Although he feared death, like us, he put himself under it to conquer it, once and for all. There can only be one colonel in our lives.


God’s Word tells us: he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 9:7-10).”


This is a great comfort for not only do we know that we are being led by the best, but we also can be assured that by His example of faithfulness and obedience, we too are perfected in God’s eyes. Zu Befehl (beefile), Herr Oberst–“At your command my colonel; at your command!”


. “I pray today in Jesus name that we be led by You O Lord always to be led by Your grace and mercy. May we always be at Your command my Colonel, ready to be led by You . Amen!”


“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
