OBEDIENCE is a key part of our relationship with God.
We cannot say we love God if we disobey his instructions and go against his guidance on a daily basis.
That isn't love. That's rebellion.
When we obey God, we are showing him that we have submitted to his will and we have put our total trust in him.
Try and imagine if you were in a relationship with someone who always does the opposite of what you ask them to do.
You'd start to doubt them whatever they express other love for you, right? Fortunately for us, God doesn't think the way that we do. He loves us when we are faithful. And he loves us when we are not.
This however should not serve as a reason to continue being disobedient. If you truly love someone then you will want to show that you value their guidance, not just with your words but your actions as well. They should be expressed equally. If you say that you love God, you have to express it in everything you do.
There are blessings that come with being obedient. It's just a natural way of things rolling out. When you are obedient to the will of God, you prevent yourself from encountering potentially dangerous situations and you find yourself walking on favourable paths that God guides you on.
When you are obedient to the will of God for your life, it speaks volumes to the people around you. younger Christians will be encouraged by the example that you choose to set for them. Remember that everything you say and do will serve as a testimony to the people who get to witness your life on a daily basis.
Verse of the Day
Prayer Point
Lord, you have taught us through this blog that there is a very practical way we can show our love and appreciation for you, God and others ~ and that is through obedience. I pray that you will make us more obedient to your words so that we may continue to walk along the right path in which you will guide us along. I also pray that you will help us be a good example and inspiration for others through obedience.
AMEN
