Trust and obey!!
1 Samuel 15:22
….. To obey is better than to sacrifice and to than the fat of rams.
There are two words that fully explain the phrase “trust and obey”: surrender and faith. In other words, yield yourself to the Lord and have confidence in Him.
The verse above says it is always better to do exactly what the Lord says instead of trying to make amends later with an offering or sacrifice.
Scripture also says in Hebrews 10: 35
that
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
Meaning, hold fast to your faith in God, even when you do not understand your circumstances and feel like giving up your faith. God will greatly bless you in His time.
John 15:7
If you abide in me
And words abide in you
Ask what you will and it shall be done unto you
This verse from the new testament says if you obey God’s commands and do exactly what it says, you will be blessed with whatever you need.
Let’s keep trusting Him
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Obey God’s commands always and have confidence in His ability to make you what He wants you to be
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn
1.When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His word
What a glory, He sheds on our way
While we do His goodwill
He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey?
Chorus
Trust and obey
For there is no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Amen
