LORD

You might be thinking… Lord? I know what that means, it means God is in control right? Sort of. It must be, just think of the lord of the house, the lord of the castle, and the lord of the rings! The key words used in the Bible that translate to Lord are YHWH (Yahweh), Kurios, and Adonay. Definition of these words? Lord.

Perhaps you have heard somewhere along the line that it is easy to make Jesus your Savior, but much harder to make him your Lord. I have to agree. Jesus as my Savior benefits me, Jesus as my Lord benefits Him. I know there are benefits to putting God in control, but they come at a cost. There are a lot of people who say “Lord Jesus” or “Jesus is my Lord” and don’t mean it. Often they don’t even understand the gravity of what they are saying.

Lord Jesus is in complete control.
I submit to His will no matter what it takes and what it costs.
Lord Jesus determines my steps, He guides my conversations, He holds my heart in His hand. Lord Jesus owns me.
Lord Jesus loves me.
Lord Jesus controls me.
He is my Lord. Is He yours?
