So how is life going?




Obedience to God is key in our lives. Look at these verses:



Jeremiah 7:23

23 But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’



Luke 6:46-49

46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? 47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.[a] 49 But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”



John 7:16-17

16 So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.



Psalm 119:33-35



33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes;

and I will keep it to the end.

34 Give me understanding, that I may keep your law

and observe it with my whole heart.

35 Lead me in the path of your commandments,

for I delight in it.



What else needs to be said? God desires us to be obedient to Him. It brings blessings and joy to our lives. Disobedience brings discipline, as any goof Father does to bring us in line with what is best for us.



The choice is ours...obey or disobey. Which do you choose today?



P.S. If you do not know God's Word it is impossible to obey for you will not know all that He desires from you!
