Does God Have To Force Us To Do His Will?

 

Today's verse is Acts 8:4

Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

    Our God has many ways to get us to do that which he commanded us. As the multitude came to Jerusalem, and learned of the Mighty Works of God concerning Salvation, instead of returning home they stayed to enjoy the fellowship of the brethren (Truly, what a wonderful thing that is.) But God (even Christ) had given commandment that they were to be witnesses unto [him] both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Up to this point, Jerusalem, Judaea, and Samaria only have heard the Word, but now, God is forcing them to return home, and in returning, His message Spreads. Let us examine ourselves, are we obeying our Lord’s command, or are we waiting for him to force us. Selah [Let us be Thoughtful in our actions.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
