Meditations on "Obedience"

The Bible tells us that we all have fallen short of God’s standard.

We need to stop covering up inferiority feelings and instead focus on what God says.

The wisdom that Jesus gave us is, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbour as yourself.

Jesus willingly gave His life for us, so we no longer need to live as a victim.

Honesty, balance, and realism are essential tools to keep at hand when we are seeking peace in all our relationships. 

As we choose to obey God’s principles for life as revealed in the Bible, we will progressively move forward in our life with God in recovery. 

No matter how fearful we may feel at this time or in this place where we find ourselves right now, if we invite God to be with us, God will answer, and changes will occur both in us and around us.

Knowing God is with us and promises us victory will steady us and give us the courage to do the next right thing, even in our weakest moments.

We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

"Who then can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:25b-26)

Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper (Proverbs 13:4)

Each step of the way we simply need to stay hungry and thirsty for what is right.
