\nGreetings! \u2013 I’m reading\u00a0“God Moments: A Year in the Word”<\/strong>\u00a0by The writers of\u00a0Encouraging.com<\/a>\u00a0and wanted to share this quote with you.
\n“July 1 Who is the Boss of You? There is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.\u20141 Corinthians 8:6b<\/p>\n

I have a nephew named Austin. He has always seemed like a little man instead of a little boy. His mannerisms are far more adult than childlike. Of twelve grandchildren in our family, Austin is the tenth. When we gathered as a family, the girls made great babysitters as the adults visited and prepared food. Later, the older boys began to also look after the younger ones. Out of the twelve grandchildren, nine of them were older than Austin and had at one time or another tried to exercise some authority over him. One day he came into the kitchen with a very disgruntled look on his face and announced to his mother and aunts, \u201cI\u2019m tired of everybody being the boss of me.\u201d We all looked at him as he pointed to his chest with his forefinger and said, \u201cI want to be the boss of me!\u201d This makes for a fun story, but isn\u2019t it a picture of how we can be as Christians sometimes? We accept Jesus as Savior. We say we want Him to be Lord of our lives. But so often we don\u2019t let Him be Lord. Jesus said, \u201cAll authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me\u201d (Matthew 28:18). It\u2019s not a popular line of thinking today, nor very politically correct, to submit to authority of any kind. The concept of independence, doing your own thing, coloring outside the lines, seems to have taken over. But scripture teaches that it is good and necessary to submit to the authority of Jesus Christ. It brings order and protection. Most of all, it brings God\u2019s richest blessings. Who is in control of your life\u2026your work\u2026your schedule\u2026your priorities\u2026your family\u2026your decisions? Who is the boss of you?”
