Trust and obey

Written by Soren Lock.

“Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart.”(NIV) Psalm‬ ‭119:34.

When we walk with the Lord

In the light of His word

What a glory He sheds on our way

While we do His good will

He abides with us still

And with all who will trust and obey

This verse from the song Trust and Obey by John H. Sammis reminds us that God guides and protects those who live according to His will. However, at times, we all have difficulty sincerely trusting and faithfully obeying His commands.

This New Year's Day, my family brought home our new family dog, Nellie. Since that time, we have all been training Nellie to obey certain commands. However, it often takes more than just a command to help her listen. We use a pat on her back to remind her to sit, or a tug on the leash to let her know she is supposed to come.

Likewise, God is training us to obey Him. And oftentimes, it takes more than his command for us to learn to follow His lead. Through the challenges we face, through the trials we endure, through the uncertainties we experience, God is guiding us to a complete obedience to His will.

Today, focus on being obedient to God and thank him for the individual blessings He sheds on your way.
