Makes me think of the old hymn
"Trust and Obey
For there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus
But to Trust and Obey"
I Found this in my daily devotion book
"God promised to bless Abraham and
to make him a blessing to others.....
If He obeyed Him"
The same promise applies to us today.
We need to ask God to make us more
sensitive to each and every opportunity.
When we encounter those who are
hurting or despondent or desperate,
let us speak words of encouragement.
Ask God to give us the right words to say
and to be open to what He tells us to do.
God blesses us so that we can be a blessing.
Remember, obedience proceeds blessings.
Then I picked up my Franklin Graham book
The chapter title is "learning to Obey"
This lesson
comes from the unsung hero of the Nativity
Joseph
Over and over in the gospels we read...
"And Joseph obeyed the command of the Lord"
Joseph is described as a righteous man
righteousness = living by faith, believer,
trusting God, doing what is right.....Even
if we do not understand or know the end result
Trust and Obey
Joseph heard the message and did what he was told
God knew that He could trust Joseph with the enormous
responsibility of raising His son.
God saw a heart of faith and obedience
Joseph obeyed God and saved His family.
Maybe we can learn from our unsung hero
