My Struggle With Obedience
Writing this article is convicting for me. I try my best to obey what God has called me to do but I'm not always as obedient as I'm called to be. Maybe you're like me in that aspect and you're not as obedient as you'd like to be. Take heart!
Oh, I wanted to mention a couple of examples and evidences of how this struggle, in my life especially, is one that I have been dealing with for a long time. But then again, I am led to not share the details (just yet).
Obedience is not fun. Sometimes it can be lonely, and other times it can be painful.
I just couldn’t seem to find a way to consistently choose Him over myself. I couldn’t seem to be able to live for his affections over those of the world. As hard as I would try in various seasons, I just couldn’t be completely obedient.
The other day, He responded with this verse:
"Stop right there! If you love me, you will keep my commandments."
Like a hammer, it hit me hard. It was active, energetic and powerful.
