Embracing Obedience
“If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” — Isaiah 1:19
God tells us to obey Him and we will be blessed. It sounds easy enough, so why do so many fail to do it? Because like children, we are often stubborn and want our own way, even though our way is less than God’s best. Just like children, it's important for us to learn the discipline of obedience, and as we’re learning, we can thank God for being patient with us. He sticks with us all the way through our childish attempts at getting our own way and believes in us even when we have a difficult time believing in ourselves. God has a great plan for our life, but it's only possible if we will obey His Word and follow His guidance. If we keep learning and growing, we will eventually enjoy the fullness of all that God has intended for us.
