Obeying God

Scripture: Luke 11: 28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

Observation: I continue to read the Bible each day and also a devotional to hear the Word of God. Do I obey? Sometimes I feel good about obeying, then I think of all the times that I’m disobedient, when I decide to sleep in, instead of walking and praying, when I watch TV instead of reading or writing, and put my desires above others.

Application: I need to continue to read and understand God’s Word, but I need to put it in practice. My goal should be to be obedient each day with my thoughts, time, money and actions.

Prayer: My Lord, I love you. May I show my love by being obedient to you, fulfilling your purpose in my life.
