Fully Obey, Right Away!

"Happy are those who live pure lives,
Who follow the Lord's teachings.
Happy are those who keep His rules,
Who try to OBEY Him with
Their whole heart"
Psalm 119:1-2


Has God ever asked you to do something really hard?

Do you think about how wonderful it is to live by God's truth, or do you constantly try to think up ways to avoid having to be too serious about living right? If you find that you are more interested in doing your own thing, maybe it's time to rethink a couple of things.

DAILY God will speak to me, and I know he is telling me to do something. But it is so hard to put what you are doing on the backburner and do the right thing for God, right then. God is looking for wholehearted followers, and we CANNOT say to Him "Okay Lord I will do that later"
  Because you do not know what God's intentions are of you completing this task, maybe it needs to be done RIGHT THEN. It could fully impact someone elses life. Only He knows. God wants you to live your life as an offering to Him (Romans 12:1) The bible tells us that we should constantly offer up to Him in our daily walk as beleivers. There is so many books in the Bible on Obedience, obviously God wanted to make it clear to us- that He wants our Obedience! In 1 Kings, all of their behavior in response to God's commands summed up their whole existence! It also tells us in 1 Chronicles that obedience brings blessings; disobedience brings judgment. While God is loving, merciful, and generous by nature, he reserves His greatest blessings for those who submit to His GUIDANCE. 

If you are struggling with the attitude that obeying God is just a big, boring chore, ask him to help you. He loves you, and once you start truly loving Him back, obeying Him will stop feeling like some kind of unpleasant task; it'll becomg your greatest joy!

One more verse for the road! :)

"I enjoy living by your rules,
as people enjoy great riches.
I think about your orders
And study your ways.
I enjoy obeying your demands,
And I will not forget your word"

Pslam 119:14-16
