"Put your minds to a life of responsive obedience to the voice of your God." (Zechariah 6:15 MSG)
Sometimes the touchscreen on my phone freezes up. I press harder, swipe every which way--but no response. This is quite frustrating. I usually end up having to reboot it or do a hard reset. Meanwhile, I cannot use my phone.
In order to be useful to God, we have to be responsive to His touch. We have to do what He wishes. Therefore...
Put your Minds--Concentrate, focus, be determined. Prepare your heart. Once your mind is set on something, the rest of your behavior will follow.
To a Life--a permanent, all-encompassing commitment; be dedicated to this vocation.
Of Responsive Obedience--Consecrate yourself to the Lord. Conform to His will. No deviations or distractions. Faithfully adhere to His directions. Be zealously obedient.
To the Voice of your God.--Pay attention. God’s expressions are everywhere. When God speaks, listen passionately.
Lord, may we be sensitive to Your voice; may we respond with obedience. May we be dedicated, determined, and committed to You.
