Prize for Total Obedience; Day051

Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be). Matthew 28:20

The prize for total {100%} obedience is God’s company.  What this promise means is a life filled with blessings because He is there with us in all our ways guiding us in the right steps, illuminating the dark path when we are subjected into trials. A full time life coach guiding us in whatever directions that is good and perfect for us.  One requirement though – a simple obedience.

Barnes on Mat 28:20 –
Lo, I am with you – That is, by my Spirit, my providence, my attending counsel and guidance. I will strengthen, assist, and direct you. This also proves that Christ is divine. If he is a mere man, or a creature, though of the highest order, how could he promise to be “with” his disciples “always,” or at all? They would be scattered far and wide. His disciples would greatly increase. If he was “with them” always, he was God; for no finite creature could thus be present with many people scattered in different parts of the world.

Unto the end of the world – The word rendered “world,” here, sometimes means “age or state” and by some it has been supposed to mean, I will be with you until the end of this “age,” or during the continuance of the Jewish state, to the destruction of Jerusalem. But as the presence of Christ was no less necessary after that than before, there seems to be no propriety in limiting the promise to his own age. It may therefore be considered as a gracious assurance that he would aid, strengthen, guide, and defend all his disciples, but more especially his ministers, to the end of time.

DREAM: Beautiful Cycling Race
I was in a cycling race. Two of us led the peloton by a long margin.  The other guy leading was stronger than me so I was just following him.  Then we came across a very steep downhill that look like a spiral slide in the water-park and I asked if this was part of the tour and he said it is.  So he went downhill first in the spiral road with no traction and it seems like it was almost vertical descent and saw him once in a while enjoying it.  Then it was my turn and it was not that dangerous than I thought.  I saw kids on the same downhill slide/road and I warn them that the peloton [group of cyclist] is right behind us and they need to make way.  At the end of the downhill was a small pond and then I asked again, is this part of the race and he said yes.  The only way to get through the race was to plunge into the pond.  It was so refreshing to be riding on the bike and then plunge into the small water pond [look like a small lake].  I got out from the water with my bike and then saw the other guy just resting and drying himself in the sun waiting for me. Then he said to me “Let’s go because this is a race” and then I picked up all my belongings that I left drying on the ground, 2 rings, one was mine and the other belongs to him. It was buried in the sand and I accidentally stumbled the ring located close my wedding ring.  He already left when I was just gathering all the stuff drying out in the sun. Then I continue on the race and did not see him anymore. END.

Race – Journey of Life
Someone in the lead – a companion
Downhill Water Slide – risky but enjoyable, all fun
A pond – transformation
2 Rings – symbolizes commitment
I continue the race by myself – journey was left for me to finish

I was puzzled by this dream for a while after waking up this morning until I started reading my Bible and saw the “verse of the day” Matthew 28:20 .  It seems like it was a continuation of what was presented in my dream.
