March 30

 God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

 I have to admit, God's right to rule is not my primary motivation for pursuing the obedient life. I resist obeying someone strictly on the basis of his or her position. This will probably shock you, but I probably would have chanced eternity in hell rather than bend my knee to any ruler just because he was in charge. So I cannot understand how such a miracle of grace has come to me, but it has. This may seem silly, but I love Him so much that sometimes I can't wait for Him to ask me to do something a little difficult, because I want to obey Him. Trusting and obeying Him is a constant reminder of a perpetual miracle in my life.
