Obedience...we take our dogs to training, we read books on how to train our kids, if only our employees would always do what they are suppose to… We desire obedience in others but strain and make excuses for our self.
The Lord has really been hammering me this past couple months about obedience in my life. I am not in any gross sin, but I am in sin because I have not been obedient in the little things. The Lord knows...our thoughts, the intents of our heart, everything...so my prayer has been “Lord fill me again with your Spirit & give me Your heart & mind so that I might be obedient!” And you know what...He is faithful and is working it into my life!
Here is something I picked up from a friend's blog. It is a good reminder and I have it posted on my desktop to read every time I open my computer.
1. Confess all known sin.
2. Deal with and get rid of anything ‘doubtful’ in your life.
3. Be ready to obey the Holy Spirit instantly.
4. Confess Christ publicly.
His name is Bill Holdridge and here are a some links to his writings; In the Word, Bill's Blog, Cross Connection Network.
So let’s pray for obedience in our lives and then walk in it. AMEN!?
I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 2 John 1:4
