Psa. 106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
Israel wasn’t content with the Manna from Heaven, which was their daily provision, but instead longed for meat. Manna was God’s choice for them, but they thought they knew better. The Lordship of Christ means that we daily choose and say yes to His choices for us. We often try, under the guise of grace, to negotiate with God to see what He will allow us to do, instead of choosing His best.
If “Wistfully longing for the Heights” (Isaiah 38:14) is your heart, you can’t settle for ‘what you can get away with.’ I don’t want to live in the “lowlands,” or camp halfway up the mountain, I want to live in the “Heights” as one who has “Hinds Feet for High Places.” I want to know more than just being occasionally blessed, I want to know the Full, Fresh, and Forceful release of His Life daily.
It’s not just a matter of not choosing to openly walk in a life of open sin, but Lordship is about always choosing the Highest over the acceptable.
