Subject: Just obey

Daily encouragement for men of faith
“What is more pleasing to the Lord:
your burnt offerings and sacrifices
or your obedience to his voice?
Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice,
and submission is better than offering the fat of rams”


~ 1 Samuel 15:22 NLT
There is a fine line between faith and foolishness.

Obedience is the only way to determine when you’ve crossed that line.

It takes obedience to take a leap of faith, takes endurance and sacrifice to stay the course, and humility to allow God to correct your course.

Living a life of faith is to be willing to move in whatever direction God reveals to you as soon as he reveals it to you.

One step of obedience can drastically turn your entire situation around faster than you could ever imagine.

But you must be willing to obey His commands and trust his word.

The world will have you feeling like it is your sacrifice that entitles you to success.

Unfortunately, God doesn’t care.

God wants your heart. He wants you to be willing to obey his commands regardless if you feel like it’s moving you in a different direction than you anticipated.

All I know is when I obey, I win in ALL areas of my life. The same principle is true for you and your life.

Stop giving up things in place for giving God your heart, time, and personal plans.

All that you could ever think of and more is waiting on your obedience to be released to you…just obey.

Let’s pray,

“Father give me the strength to obey, the courage to stay the course, and the humility to take an alternate route. With you as my navigator, anywhere I end up I win. Thank you Jesus! Amen.”
