Obedience is a life changing experience. God smiles when we obey him wholeheartedly. That means doing whatever God asks without reservation or hesitation. You dont procrastinate and say, Ill pray about it. You do it without delay. Every parent knows that delayed obedience is really disobedience. God doesnt owe you an explanation or reason for everything he asks you to do. Understanding can wait, but obedience cant. Instant obedience will teach you more about God than a lifetime of Bible discussions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact, you will never understand some commands until you obey them first. Obedience unlocks understanding. Often we try to offer God partial obedience. We want to pick and choose the commands we obey. Ill attend church but I wont tithe. Ill read my Bible but wont forgive the person who hurt me. Wholehearted obedience is done joyfully, with enthusiasm. The Bible says, Obey him gladly. (Psalm 100:2 LB) This is the attitude of David: Just tell me what to do and I will do it, Lord. As long as I live Ill wholeheartedly obey. (Psalm 119:33 LB) James, speaking to Christians, said, We please God by what we do and not only by what we believe. (James 2:24 CEV) RW
