Have you ever
felt like doing something you really like but deep inside of you, you know that
God isn’t leading you to that path? Have you ever felt that God is already
calling you but you are just so stubborn to follow and respond to Him? You know
and do believe that
God knows what’s best for you but you just don’t want to
accept it since it is not correlated with the plan that you have. In short, you
are falling into your own battle with yourself.
As Pastor
Rick Warren says, “Obedience and stubbornness are two sides of the same coin.
Obedience brings joy, but stubbornness makes us miserable.”
Perhaps right
now, you’ll say that the road you would like to take is the road that would make
you happy. But God wants you to be happy – long term happiness and He knows
what is best for you. That is why He is leading you to another road.
If a
rebellious spirit is keeping us from obeying God, it’s time for a change of
heart. Return to the Lord; He is gracious and merciful.
Brothers and
sisters, I don’t know what battle you are in now.. but I would just like to
assure you that you are not alone. God is there beside you, just waiting for
you to call on Him. Call upon Jesus and He will surely help you win in whatever
battle you are in.
Think about
this: First we make our habits; then out
habits make us.
Make being
Obedience as your habit and sooner or later that habit of obeying God will make
you.
God Bless You
God’s Beloved! :)
