Obey God

  “Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!”  JEREMIAH 7:23  

Today, no matter what you face, obey God and leave the consequences to Him. Perhaps there’s a decision that immediately springs to mind. Regardless of how difficult or seemingly impossible the path the Lord calls you to, do as He says.

If there’s a conflict, be a wise and humble peacemaker (2 Timothy 2:24-26). If anxieties arise, trust the Father (Isaiah 41:10). If someone wrongs you, be forgiving (Ephesians 4:32) and trust God for vindication (Isaiah 54:17). If others are hurting, be comforting (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). If a person you encounter is burdened with sin, proclaim the gospel (John 3:16).

If you need guidance, pray (Psalm 32:8). If temptations assail you, flee Corinthians 10:13). And in every task you are given, “Do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men’ (Colossians 3:23).

Friend, you simply cannot go wrong when you obey God. So trust Him even if it is difficult. And be assured that He will certainly bless your faithfulness.

Lord, I will obey You. Show me what to do and give me the courage and wisdom to carry out Your will, amen.

In His presence… submit to His wisdom.

EVERY DAY IN HIS PRESENCE, CHARLES F. STANLEY
