Obedience does not come easily to us. All one needs to do is spend time with a toddler and perhaps take note of how many times one needs to say , “No, no”. Trust me it is often!
Two quotes crossed my path within a 24 hour period of time. Let me share …
“Believing in the gospel of Jesus Christ and obeying God’s Word is the only way we can experience true and lasting positive transformation.”
(Kate Motaung, Five Minute Friday)
The quote was in my thoughts for much of the day, forming an equation in my mind:
Believing + Obeying = True + Positive Transformation
Obedience is not easy because we want what we want, or we think we know better, or we don’t trust the one telling us what we need to do. None of which are good or valid reasons.
Somehow we think if we obey, we are going to miss out on something. We feel like we are being boxed into doing something we don’t want to do.
Perhaps we need to change our impression of “obedience”.
I hope you will join me for the rest of this post at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE so we can explore the topic of obedience together.
