Direct Order
As the writer wrote; A cantankerous old lady came through surgery with flying colors. The surgeon sternly told her when she awoke, "In accordance with the rules of this hospital, you will have to walk ten minutes the very first day, and you will be out of here in a week since hospital beds are at a premium." On her first day, the old woman took her steps as ordered and within a few days was walking all over the hospital. Later, her family tried to pay the doctor a bonus for his work.
"Nonsense," he said, "It was just a routine operation." "It's not the operation we're marveling over," said the grandson. "It's her walking. She hasn't taken a step in six years!"
In Paul's letter to The Philippians; Paul left no room for disagreements or arguments; Philippians 2:14 Do All things without murmuring and disputings. Apparently some people respond to direct and firm orders. This scripture is not easy to take, yet it is Scripture.
The writer wrote and Paul says, "all things even things that seem so menial and insignificant.
That ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world...(Philippians 2:15).
Thank you Lord for your constant love and mercy. In Jesus name Amen.
