With God all things are possible Posts: 3917	The Bible is full of examples of acts of obedience. Obedience is not everyone's strongest quality. When we look at Scripture, we see Noah, who pleased God by respecting His warning and building the ark. he must have been a laughingstock , but he did it anyway. We don't like being made fun of. We avoid it whenever we can. But, like Noah, The Lord might have something He wants is to do that's out of our comfort zone. What is the ark we are supposed to build today? In what is God asking us to be obedient that might be uncomfortable , awkward, or embarrassing? It is to reach out and befriend someone whom my neighbors or friends make fun of? To lead a Bible study that we feel incompetent to lead? To speak up about something that is happening in our community that doesn't honor Him? Abraham was called by God to set out for the place in which he was to receive his inheritance without knowing where he was going! Can I follow God and remain comfortable when I don't know what's next? I have a light in Jesus that pierces the darkness right in front of me, but it only shines so far. With Christ I must take only one step at a time and wait for Him to illuminate the next. It's like jumping off the high dive and then checking on the way down to make sure there's water in the pool. With Christ however, I am assured that there's water in the pool. If your next act of obedience and faith feel unclear, ask for illumination and wait for God's answer. Hebrews 11:1 now faith is assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Father guide me today to so all things to bring glory and honor to You AMEN For it is with God all things are possible Have a BLESSEd obedient day, feel peace, comfort and joy. For this is the day the Lord has made just for you! Edited by ladyjockey 2015-09-10 12:15 PM
