Many times, God calls his people to obey and trust him.
There are times consequences are given for our actions for not trusting and
obeying God. We miss out on blessings daily due to us not obeying and trusting
him. We will not experience the fullness of our cup overflowing with the many
blessings he has in store for us when we don’t trust and obey his word. Our
obedience is our way of showing God how much we love and trust him. God is
after our hearts, when being disobedient we miss out in many ways.
Here’s an example for myself I was asked to do this blog
whether it be daily, weekly, every other week, at first, I was like yes, I will
do it. I then began to think about what was I thinking agreeing to do this. I thought
to myself who are you to try to spread God’s word when you are just starting
your journey yourself? I then began to pray about this thing, I prayed and
prayed about it. I still continued to say I can’t do this, but I continued to
hear this quiet voice telling me you can do it all you have to do is try, but I
still continued to say I can’t do this. I finally said no, you have to be
obedient to God’s will, if it was laid upon someone’s heart to ask you to do
this blog, then it is meant for you to do it. I thought although I am on my
Christian journey there is nothing wrong with having others to walk on this
journey with me because I am doing something for God. So, I am being obedient.
Being obedient can be hard sometimes, but it is important
if we want to live in agreement with God’s Will. Charles Stanley wrote: If we
are going to do all that God requires of us, we must be ready to “Learn to listen
to the Lord and take heed to what you hear” (Mark 4:25, KJV). God wants to
speak to us, we must be willing to listen; “We must obey God rather than men”
(Acts 5:29, KJV). There are times when the people of the world would want us to
do one thing when God wants us to do another we must be obedient to God; “We
are to lay aside all our sinful ways” (Ephesians 4:25-31). We cannot obey God
while indulging in sin, we know we may not be perfect, but when God convicts us
of sin, our 1st response should be confessions and repentances;
Surrender our will to the Lord “Yet not my will, but yours will be done” (Luke
22:42). We should be obedient just as Jesus was obedient and yield everything
to God. We should want to please and honor Him not yielding to his Will, we
will be following our own desires and may suffer consequences due to us being
disobedient. A true sign of your love for God is obedience to his commandments,
the only way you will know you are obeying God is by knowing his word.
