And Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, nor will I let Israel go.” Exodus 5:2
Who is the Lord that I should obey Him?
Who is the Lord?
If He’s just some figment of someone’s imagination …
If He’s a leftover relic of a bygone era …
If He’s a symptom of mental weakness …
Or if He’s a cosmic Santa Claus …
A sugar daddy, a genie …
Or if He exists to make my life easier,
To solve my problems, to meet my needs …
If He’s just there to rescue me when I mess up
Or when something really, really bad happens …
If I can just use His name to once in a while
So people think I’m spiritual or moral …
Then He’s probably not worth obeying.
But if He is the LORD, Holy and Awesome …
Worship and obedience are the only reasonable response.
