Do you still have that godly fear
of God? When His Holy Spirit is nudging
you do you obey? I’ll be the first to admit, it’s not always easy to obey
especially if what I’m being asked to do is something that is out of my comfort
zone. However, obedience is what God
expects, period.
If we want God’s master plan to
be fulfilled in our lives then we have to be obedient to His call. What is He
saying to you? What is he asking you to
do? Your success depends on your
obedience.
The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. Genesis 12:1
If we know that when God impressed
upon us to witness the person would accept Christ it would be easy to witness.
If we knew that the sick person
He tells us to pray for would get healed immediately it would be easy to obey.
If we knew that when we gave the
last $10.00 in our wallets to the person He told us to give it to that we’d get
it back pressed down shaken together the next day we’d give it without flinching.
If we knew the new ministry He
laid on our heart would be successful and well received we’d go for it full force…
But we don’t. We can only have faith in what He has
promised.
However, God is not going to show
us the end results of our obedience so He can get us to obey. In Isaiah 1:19 He
says If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from
the land. Hence,
He wants us to have faith in Him and obey… trusting that He will bring about
the desired results.
Abraham didn’t know where he was
going and what he was going to meet when he got there but he trusted God and
was obedient to his voice...
So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; Genesis 12:4 (NIV)
What is God calling you to do?
Trusting Him,

I shared this post over at Laced With Grace a few years ago and thought I'd share it here today.
