Obedience

"Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty yours, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands" Deuteronomy 8:32

I have been to the pit of hell... looking around my room and wondering what my life had become... Tears ran down my eyes as I felt the whole world closing in; I sat in middle of my bed weeping for God to sweep me away to a place that had nothing do with the sin that I was incased in. To trust God is the mist of this storm was like asking me to go through the eye of needle. I knew that I had come to my breaking point that I was being tested to trust in God's commands. Could I keep love your God with all your heart and soul and mind....and could I obey him?

By showing your obedience to God you are showing your love for him.  Many people hate the word Obedience... it is marked with a black ink that holds a person as a prisoner. But that is not what God attended the word to be. He uses the word to show His plan... His beautiful wonderful master piece that He created.  As a child, we follow God's voice easily and let the people around us know. When God tells a child "You don' t have to be strong, I will be strong for you" she listens and is ready to take that step. But as an adult when God commands you to "Be STILL and know that I am God" we question Him about the still part. Then God follows through with the command by telling you to obey!!!

"Obey Me" is thrown at you throughout the day and incredible pressure is place on you to allow you to bend to His will. He does this out of love for His child... for you and me. We are the ones that stand in the middle of the floor and stomp our feet telling Him "NO" Like a loving Father, He tells us Obey me. Never once does He shout, He just gently applies the pressure of His will. We fight Him, until we have come to the spot of no return... the only thing that is to do is Obey....

I came to that point one day, in the middle of my bed... I was completely broken and the only thing I could do was Obey.... and to obey was to wait.... to wait on the Lord as He rebuilt my life. As He prepared the people around me. To obey and wait on Him also taught me and is still teaching me that I am ready, but other people may not be. To obey is to allow God work in and around us; to perfect His plan and to perfect His will.


Do you trust Him?  Are you willing to obey Him? Are you willing to give up everything to obey him?

I am still learning how to obey him... how to wait patiently... I am in the sand on a beach somewhere waiting... to finally let go and to trust him fully... even if I am waiting I know that God has everything in control and that I can just sit and wait for him to move things along. To obey is to show God how much you love him...
