Remember The Lord in All Things

Bible Reading:  1 Corinthians 11:1-17

Key Verse: Verse 2– “Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.”

Key Words: remember me in all things     

Now, before someone challenges me on the title of this devotion, I know that it is the Apostle Paul saying, “remember me.”  But if we read verse 1, Paul said, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” The essence of it is that Paul is saying, “If you remember me, you’ll remember Christ.”  What a statement!  I wonder how many of us can say that!!

But the context of the verse is that if we follow and remember Christ, all things will be done decently and in order – without confusion. 

Remember one of the stories in the magazine, Today in World, July 1993.

“Neil Marten, a member of the British Parliament, was once giving a group of his constituents a guided tour of the Houses of Parliament.  During the course of the visit, the group happened to meet Lord Hailsham, then Lord Chancellor, wearing all the regalia of his office.  Hailsham  recognized Marten among the group and cried, ‘Neil!’  Not daring to question or disobey ‘the command,’ the entire band of visitors promptly fell to their knees.”

Now, the moral of the story is this: If you don’t know who the Lord is, you’ll end up bowing to all the lords of the world.
