I know that I've been in situations where God made it clear what he wanted me to do and yet I didn't do it. It usually involves me humbling myself I've told God I'll do it next time. I've given him all sorts of reasons why I can't (which is more like won't) obey.
Have you ever found yourself trying to negotiate with God on something you know He wants you to do?
It makes me think of me and my kids. I give them very specific instructions on what I want them to do and they will try to either get out of doing it or only doing it halfway.
I often feel frustrated with them when this happens. I tell them I know what's best, but they don't believe me and continue to question my judgement. I wonder if God feels the same way when I question him.
The level of our love = The level of our obedience
What do you think?

Man, I know exactly what you are talking about. It's hard to follow him when he is telling you to do something that you were not even considering doing. It's happened to me and it's hard to deal with, but you just have to trust God always he definitely knows whats best for you, I mean he created you he should know best, and he does. Chase after him, to be who he wants you to be.
ReplyDeletethat is so right i feel like I feel the same way sometimes. dis is Austin Parker peace out!!!
ReplyDeleteI do it all the time. My problem is usually that I really do know what He wants, I just don't want to go that way. So I "pray about it" for awhile. Which isn't bad, unless I already know and am just stalling.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Love = Obedience not lip service.
Emily, what you said sparked a thought. Isn't it silly what we tell God sometimes.
ReplyDeleteGod I know you created me and all(along with everything else) and I know you love me and all(probably more than I love myself), but I think my way is better than yours.
Why do you think he makes such a big deal out of her calling him Lord and not backing it up with his actions?
