OBEDIENCE

Obedience.

Such a bad word.

Giving up our 

freedom

to do what we want

to have what we want

to be what we want

to take what we want

 

but 

obedience provides safety

when we obey the right thing

like a toddler obeying and 

NOT going into the street

obeying and 

playing in the yard

obeying our heart

obeying our Father

 

Obedience to God 

is being a good steward 

of His gifts to us

 

The gift or drive placed deep within us

why do we deny it?

disobey?

it’s so precious 

we don’t want to break it 

by failing?

or wearing it out?

 

When we DO obey 

we find peace

joy

safety

like you’re in the right place

even if it’s hard

 

Yes, you can still get hurt 

when you obey

playing in the yard

you may still fall 

and skin your knees

but 

you’re a lot less likely 

to get creamed by a semi
