SACRIFICE OF OBEDIENCE

John 14:15
“If you love me, keep my commands.”

Obedience is a sacrifice that requires us to surrender our will and desires to God’s plans. It is easy to obey when things make sense or when we agree with God’s direction. But what about when it is hard or does not seem logical? What about when the path forward is shrouded in uncertainty, or when following God’s direction demands personal sacrifice and challenges our understanding?

Obedience requires trust, faith, and surrender. It means trusting that God’s ways are higher than ours, having faith that His plans are good, and surrendering our control and desires to His leading.

Trusting in God’s wisdom means believing that He sees the bigger picture, even when we do not. Faith involves relying on His promises and character, especially when circumstances are challenging.

Surrendering to God’s will requires letting go of our own ambitions and preferences, allowing His purpose to guide our actions.

Thus, obedience is not a one-time event but a continuous process of surrender and trust. It is a daily commitment to align our lives with God’s will, a journey that demands ongoing faithfulness and humility. Each act of obedience builds upon the previous one, strengthening our relationship with God and deepening our reliance on His grace.

Choose one area of your life where you need to obey God more fully, and take a step of obedience today. It may be as simple as forgiving someone who has wronged you, sharing your resources with those in need, or dedicating time to prayer and reflection. Each small step of obedience draws us closer to God and transforms our hearts to be more like His. Through these acts, we demonstrate our faith, grow in spiritual maturity, and experience the fullness of God’s blessings in our lives. Halleluyah
