WALKING IN OBEDIENCE

His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” John 2:5 NASB

Jesus performed His first miracle at a wedding celebration. When the wine ran out, his mother said to the servants: “Whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5) Our obedience opens the door to see God’s power manifested in our lives. Scripture says, “If you consent and obey, you will eat the best of the land.” (Isaiah 1:19 NASB) In other words, as long as you are obedient to God’s word, you will continue in the quiet and full enjoyment of all the blessings of it.  Our blessings are hindered when we approach God seeking His help pertaining to a particular situation, whether it is physical, social, financial or spiritual and all the while we are failing to be obedient in other areas of our lives, for example, harboring unforgiveness toward another person. My question this morning, “Are you doing all that God commands you to do through His word?” Today, ask the Lord to search you and whatever He says to you, do it!

PRAYER: Father, I humbly come to you in total submission. I desire to be obedient to your Word. Father, remove from me all that is not pleasing to you; transform me that your name may be glorified. I love you Lord in Jesus’ name.
