Do I Obey What I hear?

Scripture: Romans 2: [13] For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.

Observation: I read the Bible through a year and I’m on my fourteenth year, so I do know what God’s word says. I hear what God wants and how He wants me to live my life, but I’m not very obedient. If I was I would have more faith, I wouldn’t worry or be afraid, I would be bold when it came to sharing my faith and I would love others as I love myself. That is what I’m hearing yet I’m not doing it. I live my life at times opposite of the way God commands me to live and I wonder why things go wrong.

Application: I know what I’m supposed to do and it’s time to do it. I hear what God is saying and now I must live it so others may see. I might be the only Bible some people read. I need to trust God with all of my heart and not be doing anything contrary to what He tells me to do. I should be living by faith and not fear.

Prayer: Dear Lord I hear you and I have no excuses for the way I disobey you. Help me be the man you would be proud of, show me how to be obedient to every word you command me. Show me how to finish this race with confidence that I’m pleasing you.
