Want to frolic?

When was the last time you enjoyed the freedom of a good romp or frolic? Although the last book of the Old Testament closes with the threat of a curse, there is the promise of frolicking freedom for those who honor God. In fact, writes Malachi,

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. (Mal. 4:2)

The law of reciprocal honor can be simply put: "Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained." (1 Samuel 2:20)

A.W. Tozer, author of The Pursuit of God and numerous other inspiring works, makes the following observation of this spiritual law:

"Be thou exalted" is the language of victorious spiritual experience.  It is a little key to unlock the door to great treasures of grace. It is central in the life of God in the soul. Let the seeking man reach a place where life and lips join to say continually, "Be thou exalted," and a thousand minor problems will be solved at once. His Christian life ceases to be the complicated thing it was before and becomes the very essence of simplicity. By the exercise of his will he has set the course, and on that course he will stay as if guided by automatic pilot. If blown off course for a moment by some adverse wind, he will surely return again as by a secret bent of the soul. The hidden motions of the Spirit are working in his favor, and the "stars in their courses" fight for him. He has met his life problem at its center, and everything else must follow along.

Ready for a frolic with God? I know I am! Revere His name, put Him first in all that you do.  And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves!
