Friday, May 7, Obedience

Simple obedience is all God requires of us. Pretty easy, but I tend to make it complicated by following my own way far too often. It isn't that I don't want to obey God, but I just want my own way. How do I correct this behavior? By spending daily time in God's word and in communication with Him. Without my daily time, I open myself up to selfish desires and lose my focus on God for the day. This leads to my failing to hearing His voice guiding me in every situation. I expect obedience from my children and grand children. Why is it so hard for me to obey God. Father, help me to start the day by being obedient and reading your Word and communicating openly with you.
