Read Genesis 6-8, Joshua 6, Philippians 2
Obedience should be a defining
characteristic of the Christian life. Yet sometimes obeying our great God seems
way more difficult than it ought to be. Sometimes it is a struggle with divine
authority, and sometimes it's a struggle with our own selfish nature. However
being a great storyteller with our lives will involve obedience, to both the
great and small.
Having a proper perspective about life comes as we
adhere to the truth that God is in charge of everything. How is it evident that
He's ruler over your:
1) Family & Relationships
2) Work &
School
3) Health & Decisions
4) Your Future
Fostering your
relationship with God, your daily abiding, will also lead to a life of
obedience. The characters in the passages above developed that relationship
through communication and response.
1) When is the last time you spoke with
the Lord?
2) What is the last truth He spoke into your life?
2) How did
you last respond to the invitation of God on your life?
The joy of
living a life of obedience comes when we lay our life story over top the life
story of Jesus. That is when we will see all the mystery and nuances of our
lives, up to this point, begin to make sense.
We truly hope this
teaching inspires your journey of deeper abiding and grace-filled obedience to
God.
