There is something about obedience to God that so much different from obedience man to man. Growing up in the home environment I did gave me a deep rooted attitude towards obedience. I lived all of my childhood trying desperately to be obedient to my dad only to have it thrown in my face time and again. I wasn’t alone in this. My brothers and sisters were all give this treatment. Obedience to dad was to do as I say, not as I do. Obedience never gave you the promises behind it. Those were just statements from dad to get you to comply with him.

Learning the beauty of obedience to God has taken me a lifetime changing from something I have to do to something I always want to do. Coming to my brother-in-law’s home yesterday and attending the event last night has been nothing short of wonderful. Kathy and I love being here. We will head out soon to get back home so those with appointments this afternoon can have theirs. Yesterday I was able to get the home chores done so all is good there. So, why do I fret when God is nudging me to comply with Him? Well, my flesh is selfish just as dad’s was. I sure don’t want God seeing me obeying my flesh instead of Him! This is a good wake-up for me! God is always teaching another lesson!
