Do I really totally Obey God?
Genesis 12:5 Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.
Oh how I tend to think I perfectly and completely listen to and obey Jesus. How much I grade myself on a wide curve. How much I tend to overlook my flaws and failures. How I love to apply the grace and mercy of God when it comes to these! And, don't get me wrong, Gods grace is abundant! But truth is, this body of flesh I drag around everyday is such a hindrance to where I really want to hang out, in Gods presence and in complete obedience to Him. Oh, I have many wonderful moments that are priceless, yet many more like Abraham here. The simple word from God was leave your family! He not only takes nephew Lot, but all his servants he aquired, though in Haran! Sugar coat this all you want, this wasn't complete obedience. Then factor in, what great miracle of God did he miss because of his disobedience? What great testimony of God do I miss when I do the same things now? Look, until we get our uncorruptible bodies, we will fail. We must be real to this failure and never explain it away. I want to experience powerful things of God in my life but will I allow His Spirits power to work in and through my life now? LORD, please reveal to me what complete obedience is today and by Your grace, I walk in it.
