Trust and obedience: two things which are vital as we walk with the Lord. Sometimes I feel like obedience wouldn’t be a problem if I knew what exactly God wanted me to do. On the other hand, I know there are times God is speaking to my Spirit and I ignore His promptings. I’m trying to remedy this, however. I want to be faithful to recognize His voice when He speaks and to move forward accordingly.<\/p>\n
In some ways, trust is harder for me but I feel like if I can master that, it will make every other area of life easier to manage. After all, the only reason not to trust is if I’m full of fear which is the opposite of faith which does not please God.<\/p>\n
Brothers and Sisters, God’s Word is not to be taken lightly. When He says obedience is better than sacrifice, He means it. When He says, “Fear not,” it’s not a suggestion. If you are struggling with these issues, ask God to help you. He has called us to a glorious, victorious life. If that does not define your life right now, you need to get on your knees and ask God to show you why. It may be you’re not totally surrendered to Him but this would be a good day to change that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
