“If you love me, keep my commands." John 14:15
Obedience is an extremely important part of our walk with the Lord. When He speaks, we are to listen and obey. Not just listen and take His Word into consideration. To take advantage of His free will and grace is playing with fire. You will get burned. Trust me, I have been there. I have tested my precious Father one too many times and just when you trick yourself into thinking you won, He lets you know," Not so fast." He grieves when we disobey and He also punishes. Charles Stanley said one of the most profound things that I now live my life by. He said, "God assumes full responsibility for our needs when we obey Him." That is an amazing and comforting promise. So when the enemy tries to tempt me to do it on my own, I meditate on His this truth and it truly helps me. It makes me desire to obey His Word and will. Do you struggle with wanting things now? Is it hard to obey at all times? The next time you are tempted to disobey, ask yourself this one question. What on earth could I possibly achieve on my own that would be bigger or better than anything Jesus could ever do? When you come to this truth you will be delivered from disobedience and you will discover His freedom and His love in a deeper way. Trust Him Today!
