“Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is
the way, walk in it.’ Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn
to the left.”
Isaiah 30:21
God wants to lead and to guide His
people. If we really want to do His will, He promises to make it clear to us.
Then it is up to us to obey Him. Obedience is a blessing, not a burden. We will
be blessed by God Himself if we obey Him. Others may be blessed by your
obedience as well. If we are tuned into the Lord, our walk can be a thrilling
adventure. Life becomes exciting. If we back off from obedience because we
think it is our own thought or we are afraid to do what He has asked us to, we
deprive God of demonstrating His awesome power in and through us. Small steps
of obedience may seem insignificant, but they are not. They lead toward a
lifetime of walking with God. As God’s children, we should ask Him what He
wants us to do each and every day. We must learn to listen to our heavenly
Father and remain sensitive to the still quiet voice that prompts us throughout
the day. Hebrews 3:7-8 says “Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: ‘Today, if you
hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.’” We should be willing to obey His
promptings as they come. Don’t second guess yourself. You know when the Lord is
prompting you. Once you hear from the Lord today—decide to take your next step
of obedience with Him. You will be glad you did. You will be blessed by God
Himself and others may be blessed through you.
O Father, how we want to walk with You on a regular basis. We
desire for our lives to be exciting. We want to do Your will so therefore we
want to hear from You. Prompt us as to what Your will is and then may we obey
You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
