Walking in Obedience
Walking in obedience is loving Jesus. Walking in obedience is living by faith. Walking in obedience is trusting that God is God. When you walk in obedience, that is when the Lord moves. Psalm 37:3-5 says:
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of
your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
I have been doing this and the Lord does act. It might feel funny or seem strange, but a good friend of mine named Jen said, "It is not always about feelings." I will never forget that statement. It is not about feeling good. It is being a doer of the Word. That is what the Word is there for. It is an instrument to go by. Just obey. When you do, like I said, you are loving Jesus, living by faith, trusting God, and watching Him move.
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
