Obey God’s Voice

Scripture Jeremiah 7:23 But this is what I commanded them, saying, Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’

Observation: All we need to do is obey our God. He deserves our love and obedience and He should be the most important thing in my life, but every day it seems He takes a back seat of what I’m doing that day. I’m so self-absorbed that my mind wanders from my focus on God. He asks so little of me He just wants me to obey His commandment which are for my own good.

Application: God knows how weak I am and gives me the Holy Spirit so I’ll stay on track, but I still have the choice to listen. How I wish I didn’t have that choice but was just forced to obey, but that’s not love. I need to put God first in everything that I’m doing, He deserves at least that. When I chose to do something, I need to make sure it’s in line with God’s commandment and that I’m obedient in His calling for my life.

Prayer Dear Lord you know your servant more than he knows himself. You know I’m doubleminded and my attention span is short. I can’t do this without You and I need the Holy Spirit each day to get me through so that I will be obedient. You deserve the best I am and so much more.
