Scripture references in blue.
Walking in Obedience
Obedience isn’t merely about following strict rules; it’s rooted in loving God and trusting His ways (1). We love and serve Him because He loved us first (2). God showed His great love by sending Christ to die for us (3).
Obedience involves abandoning old habits, learning God’s ways, and walking in the new life He offers (4). Step by step, your thinking, words, and habits will begin to reflect Him.
Even mature believers face challenges at times, but the Holy Spirit and God’s grace will assist you in growing (5). You can be confident that the work God has started in you He will complete (6).
Scripture also confirms that following God’s commands results in a blessed life (7,8).
Prayer:
“Lord, show me areas that need to change. Empower me by Your Spirit to live as You want me to. Thank You for being patient and loving.”
Reflection:
What is one old habit God is asking you to leave behind? Write your plan and pray over it.
