Obedience

"Obedience in the small details prepares the believer for obedience in all things."

Obedience, Obedience, Obedience. I am nothing on my own. If left to myself I would never obey. I would go my own way. Thank the Lord for the Holy Spirit who faithfully does for me what I can not do for myself. Who intercedes for me. Who knows the Father's will and is carefully doing in my own heart what I would not do on my own. Thankfully He (the Holy Spirit) fills the "gap."

"When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, "I can't." Never allow the limitation of your own natural ability to enter into the matter." Oswald Chambers

"Have we been falsely accusing God by daring to worry after He said, "But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."? Oswald Chambers


"Never forget that our capacity and capability in spiritual matters is measured by, and based on, the promises of God." Oswald Chambers


I lack faith! I lack trust! I am failing to "seek first!" Do I believe that God keeps His promises?!? If I do then I will also recognize that none of this is about me - it is all about the Holy Spirit! My "job" is to simply SEEK FIRST! Then "all these things" will be added in God's time as He faithfully keeps His promises to me.

He will provide a career, a ministry, a husband, and a family - all in His time. I must  enjoy and make the most of this journey because every moment is being used to shape me into who He wants me to be!

There is nothing I can "do." I must simply seek first. I must have faith and cling tightly to my God. Who promises wonderful things to me. Who won't leave me lonely forever. Who has a most wonderful plan - one where He is glorified and I get to be a part of it all.
