Devotional THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7TH, 2010 Day 5
Authority
Authority is a word that most youth don’t use for one simple reason. It’s a power word…and adults are the ones who generally have all the power. When adults want to describe reachable goals for you, they usually use words like maturity, growth, humility, or patience; but seldom, if ever, do they use authority. But disciples of Jesus can have authority, whatever their age. This kind of authority is the result of simple living. The authority of living always has greater influence than the authority of talking. A young person can possess all of the benefits of authority— influence, respect, and strength—just by living an ordinary life and following Jesus wherever he leads.
Here’s an easy way to know whether you have authority or not. If your friends ask for your advice, if they want to be with you when they are in a crisis, if they refer their friends to you, if they defend you to others…then you know that they see you as someone with authority.
Rick is one of those very bright people other kids tolerate but don’t like to hang out with. Rick
knows all his “friends” put up with him because they need him now and then to fix their computers or bail them out at test time or to explain the latest calculus assignment. For
some reason, Rick never worries much about his nerd status. He has a lot of self-confidence
and has no huge need to be cool. A lot of his confidence comes from his faith in Jesus.
Rick has always lived on the outside of life. His divorced parents have little time for him. He lives with his grandmother, who barely copes with her own arthritis and other old-age ailments. His brother and two sisters have long since gone their own ways—ways that are cluttered with drugs, alcohol, and repeated trouble. When Rick heard about Jesus and understood that Jesus not only died for him but also wanted him as a disciple, it was all Rick needed to hear. Not being wanted by anyone else only made Jesus' "wanting” of Rick more powerful in his life.
When Gina—the very popular and very sexy Gina—realized she was pregnant, it was Rick she asked for help and advice. When Mark—the very good-looking and very popular Mark—realized he was the father but didn’t want to get married right away, he called Rick as well. Rick was surprised and, deep down inside himself, rather pleased. He realized that, although his faith in Jesus Christ hadn’t gotten rid of his nerdiness, it had given him authority.
Prayer: Dear God – Please bless us with the patience we need to get through the day
and give us the strength and courage we need to live an authoritative life. Help us to lead with our lives, not our mouths.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
