OBEDIENCE

Daily verses : John 2 : 1 – 11

Key verse : Hebrews 11 : 8 : By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

The Lord will do miracles in our lives according to His timing (God’s timing = kairos). When we are waiting on God’s timing, we have a part that we must carry out which is to obey God’s commands. The Lord desires full obedience, meaning obedience that is unconditional. Many times we want to do what the Lord orders us to do as long as it doesn’t burden us. This is called conditional obedience. Model the servants from the wedding in Cana. They were obedient when the Lord told them to pour water into large jars and then to pour that water into a glass to bring the master of the banquet. Although they knew that what was contained in the glass was water and not wine, they were still fully obedient without further question. They did this despite the fact that they faced the threat of being fired by the master of the banquet if they made a mistake. Their obedience was what in the end, allowed the miracle to be carried out, turning water into wine.

Obey with the heart and not with the mind. Obey unconditionally and not with conditions. Obey without asking questions, and you will be amazed by the miracles that you will see.

Daily Action :
If there is anything that the Lord reminds me to do today, I will do it with a joyful heart without question or without making excuses to avoid obeying Him.
