Me:  Prodigal, I think you should obey that sign and not enter.

 

Prodigal:  Why, do you think I should obey that sign?

 

Me:  You can see it right now, but you are going to get hit by a big yellow trolley if you do not obey!

 

Prodigal:  I guess I should obey even if I don’t understand.

 

Me:  I think you should.

 

Rachel Sinclair rights about obedience in her book Above Average For God

 

Obedience to the Lord is not about living a perfect life so that you may be considered religious or a good Christian.  Obedience is an attitude of your heart in which you desire to honor God in all areas of your life by submitting to His authority, which means obeying His commands and doing life within the guidelines He has given us.  Of course, you will make mistakes along the way.  When you do , the Holy Spirit will correct you and redirect you back to the right path.

 

I know the direction that the Lord is leading you does not seem to be leading you to a nice peaceful rest.  In fact it seems to be leading you in the path of a train, but God sees all.  He is not limited with our vision.  So move forward a little and submit to the Lord all you have.

 

1 Corinthians 16:13

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

 

Jennifer Van Allen
