Is there an area of your life where you are struggling to obey God? Does what He is asking of you seen irrational? Does it feel confusing? Choose to trust and obey. Be willing to whatever God ask of you, simply because He said so.
Main Points:
1. As children of God, we must recognize God’s sovereignty and authority over our lives. As believers, we have willingly made Jesus our savior, but also our lord. Maybe you prayed a prayer that said, “Jesus, I ask you to be the Lord of my life.” I think you would agree it’s much easier to pray that prayer than it is to live it out.
2. Sometimes obedience to God is not rational. It doesn’t make sense in our minds. As we look at the scenario and the circumstances through our lens, God’s way is not what we would have chosen. But this is where faith comes in. We remember God sees what we cannot see. He knows what we do not know. Our obedience to God is always connected to our faith in Him.
3. It doesn’t always make sense, but the blessings of God follow our obedience. If you want to live a life blessed by God, you must see that the key is our willing obedience, even when it doesn’t make sense.
