Obey, And Discover

Good Morning!! In the Christian's walk, obedience to God leads to understanding. We often get obedience and understanding turned around. We think we must first understand, then we will obey. So many times, I've felt that if I knew the reasons,...if I just understood all the implications,...if I could just how it would all turn out,...then I could and would obey. But we can never know all there is to know,...we can't fully understand all that's involved. Because we just can't see all the effects our actions, or inaction will have.


And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him;—Hebrews 5:9 (KJV)

Though he did not understand how God would fulfill his promise to him, Abraham obeyed God,...and became the father of all the faithful. Though he did not know how it would be fulfilled, Saul was obedient to the heavenly vision and became Saint Paul,...apostle to the Gentiles. Jesus remained obedient to the Father in all things, and was the perfect Savior of the whole world.

Obedience gives us a better view of things, and moves us from the realm of theory into the realm of experience.

I pray that the Holy Spirit lead us to better obedience, that  we may all come into a true knowledge of our Heavenly Father,...and His mighty Works. Amen.

"God's plan in redemption was that we should live life FULL of the Holy Spirit."
