Obedience

If Jesus said, the law and prophets hang on the greatest commandment(s), then surely His law is written on our hearts, when we love God with our whole being (heart, mind, soul and strength) and our neighbour as ourselves.

The Psalmist says the Lord’s “statutes are his songs in the house of his pilgrimage“. Can we say the same? Do we get up in the early morning hours to spend time with the Lord, through prayer? Do we delight in His Word? Do we make time to listen to His voice, a whisper in the wind? Do you find comfort in His Word?

Is the Lord’s Word your compass? A “lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path.” Do you seek direction from Him? Is He your “true north“? If you seek the Lord and struggling to take that first step toward Him, be bold and take the “leap of faith.” He is longing for fellowship with you.

Trust in Him, trust in His word and walk in obedience. Rush to God’s throne of undeserved favour. We cannot wait and come to Him, wanting to be perfect and blameless. He will wash you clean, through the blood of Christ.

If you love God and have taken a bit of detour on your spiritual journey, call out His Name in your darkest hour. He will answer you and direct your path if you submit to His perfect will. May the Lord, our God and Saviour, be your hope and your comfort.
