Obedience is not a popular concept of today's world, but in God's economy, it's essential. Joshua's victory at Jericho came through following God's unusual battle plan. Joshua had to march around the walls of the city for seven days. This didn't really make sense to the men but Joshua obeyed.
God's ways often contradict human wisdom. He asks us to love our enemies, to give generously, and to put others before ourselves. These commands reflect God's higher wisdom and purpose.
When we obey God, we acknowledge that His perspective is greater than our own. Sometimes God asks us to do things we don't really understand. In those moments, remember, obedience opens the door to blessings. Just as the walls of Jericho fell, so too will the obstacles in our lives crumble when we follow God's direction.
Until we begin being obedient to the ways of God that may not make complete sense to us, we will be hindered from his blessings in our lives. So what is God asking you to do this week that may not make much sense? What is holding you back from being obedient to God?
We pray everyone has a blessed day and are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night at 6:30. π
