Obeying

Obey (verb): to comply with or follow the commands, restrictions, wishes, or instructions of God.

This is a verb that is very hard for me to do when it comes to making things right, asking forgiveness, or clearing up a relationship. But since I have gotten to college I have learned that obedience is necessary in my walk with God and I have been better about it. About 10 minutes ago I had to obey God once again in talking to an ex-boyfriend. I was convicted by the Lord that I never clearly communicate how thankful I was for the way he treated me. So that is what I did and now that I have done it I feel really good. When I obey the Lord there is just a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and I know that I did something right in the eyes of the Lord, He is smiling down on me!!

Luke 11:28
He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

Acts 5:29
Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!

Philippians 2:12
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
