I use to think obedience to God was merely a list of DO'S and DON'TS...here is what he revealed to me...and my faith was increased!
Obedience is choosing to BELIEVE... GOD is who he says he is and will do what he says he will do...
and this should give us great PEACE~
ISAIAH 40 (29-31) and 41 (1 and 4) gives us great peace in waiting and trusting in GOD...here is what HE SAY's...
I will not come and go...I last
I AM the Creator of all you can see or imagine
I do not get tired
I know everything, inside and out
I energize those who get tired
I give fresh strength to drop outs
and here is the key..."BUT THOSE WHO WAIT UPON GOD"...get fresh strength~
I personally do not like to wait...I am a doer and I like to take action.
But often God call us to wait for Him to move and take action.
His way is always better...and He loves it when we show our faith and trust by waiting on Him to move...
Often times obedience looks like waiting, trusting and believing in full confidence of the promises of God and who he says he is...and what he says he will do~
In Isaiah 41: 4 ... He ask's you this;
"Who did this? Who made it happen? Who always gets things started?"
Then He replies..."I DID...I am the first on the scene and I AM the last to leave"
HE PROMISES THIS:
"I'll give you strength, I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you"
So let's REST, REFLECT and RECEIVE in all that HE SAYS and let peace wash over you as we wait on God to move in our lives and in the lives of others....But we must TRUST AND BELIEVE
