Blessed Obedience
Blessed Obedience
“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Luke 11:28
The place of obedience is the place of blessing.
Sometimes what God clearly tells you sounds difficult, even wrong. Obedience to God will often lead you to a crisis of faith that requires you to make decisions that are counterintuitive. If you have not yet discovered this, you probably have not been listening.
This is exactly the reason God gives you the promise of special blessing to you when you are radically obedient to God’s word.
Some decisions to obey God will seem illogical, contrary, and even irrational.
Once you choose obedience, however, you will be pleasantly surprised to discover all your blessings.
And that is a promise.
Loving Father, I embrace the adventure of obedient faith in Jesus’ name.
Please PRAY!
We are asking God for the remaining world countries and U.S.A. states to receive the training of the College of Prayer. Pray with us today for Marshall Islands and Colorado.
