Just obey 

 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: Deuteronomy 28:1 KJV

 

Generally, we may have considered obeying every word of God as something hard to do. Most especially the principles of God are significantly different from humans and if you decided to obey God’s word by seeing His word in human principles. It will be difficult for you to do. 

Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”

His ways aren’t our ways and neither are His thoughts are ours. 

The secret to perfect obedience is faith. Faith is a seed that will drive you to obey God without any form of Compromise. Having faith is you not seeing God's word in human ways but His ways. The Bible says that without it, it is impossible to please God in other words it will be impossible to obey Him.

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

It will be impossible for Abraham to obey God if He never had faith in Him. Even when God told Him to sacrifice His son, he never hesitated to obey because He believes even if God takes His son He can give Him another one.

There are many blessings to the obedience of God’s word. An outstanding blessing was the one God had with Abraham just because He obeyed Him.

Dear reader I believe you have been blessed by God’s word. Just obey Him and you will enjoy the blessings attached to it.

 

Devotional prayer: Father I thank you for your word today, build my faith to obey you in Jesus Christ Name.
