Yesterday we had the privilege of welcoming a great video message, "Lord, Make Us Obedient" from Pastor Greg Surratt of Seacoast Church. Today's devotion will continue this theme.If you have children, you can relate to a child who continues to be disobedient. We've all shared in that feeling. You get tired of explaining yourself and answering all their questions. And besides, there are moments, such as an oncoming car, that require complete, unquestioned, and immediate obedience.
A few weeks ago, Braeden and I were together for nearly the entire day. And for some reason, everything I asked him to do, he did it. He not only did it, but he had the right attitude and usually said, "Yes, sir." It was a great (and rare) day for sure. As a parent, I can't tell you how that made me feel.
I wonder how God feels when we simply trust Him and obey. Without hesitation, we simply say, "Yes, sir." Once we come to the understanding that God desires good things for His children and wants to bless us, we can rest in His omniscience and simply say, "Yes, sir."
Jesus said it this way, "Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
What are you reading in God's word right now that you need to act upon?
What has He spoken to heart in prayer about that you need to put into action?
Remember, His blessing always follow our obedience.
