Obedience is Joy

on 17/August/2012

Beloved–

From the time I learned the lesson that God the father expects obedience as our only response; I adopted the the yes sir, no sir, what ever you say sir attitude.  Basically saying its not my choice but I know your plan is best, so I accept it.  (Jeremiah 29:11)

Now I believe my heavenly father is teaching me a new lesson.  Rather than saying I accept your choice over mine, I need to want his choice first. (2 Timothy 2:15-16)  This lesson is more difficult for me because I have definite opinions about most situations.  I have a solution oriented character (aka: a fixer) knowing that there is an answer to any given problem I just need to find it.  

It all comes down to this: have I learned to say, “have your way with me Lord”  because the joy of the Lord is my strength?

I pray for you daily that you understand the need for obedience and you are learning to rejoice in his will.

Luv Ya!
