"Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart." Psalm 119:34
Have you ever realized that maybe you are not as obedient to the Lord and His Word as you should be? Could this be a daily struggle for us or could it be purely by choice?
We have to be very mindful in our obedience to the Lord. Obedience doesn't come naturally, it comes from our love for Jesus and our desire to please and honor Him.
Could we measure our love for Jesus by how obedient we are to His ENTIRE Word?
How much love would be weighed out?
Our desire to be obedient must be more than a desire, it must be an action.
Obedience is not something that can be done in our own human flesh. It must be aided by the Holy Spirit.
I could be totally off, brethren but I believe the first place to start being obedient is in the Word of God. Because from there, we will learn every other area we are to obedient in.
Also, we need to remember obedience is a command and not an option. God requires us to be obedient in EVERY area and not just the ones we want to be obedient in.
If we struggle to be obedient in reading and spending time in the Word, then more than likely we lack obedience in a whole lot of other areas as well.
"If you love me, you will obey what I command." John 14:15
Jesus forgive us for picking and choosing the things we want to obey and the things we don't. Help us to be more mindful. Amen
