ACTS 9:6- “And he said, Who art Thou, Lord?”

Please remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

OBEDIENCE IS…

..

Obedience is a funny thing involving a surrendered will.

Stopping us in our tracks somehow forcing decisions we think might kill!

Obedience is a humbling thing, releasing control to Someone else.

How can obedience become a friend if fear stifles with tangled welts?

Obedience is a wonderful thing when learned early as a child.

Obedience is a privileged place that drives old Satan wild!

Obedience is a way of knowing God. Obedience stands the test.

Obedience is a wonderful place where a Pilgrim is offered rest.

If I want to know who God is, if I want to learn His Ways.

Then I will obey with all of my heart and trust Him all my days.
