“God’s commands are burdensome to me
like feathers are burdensome to a bird.”
I believe it’s a Treasure to be under Godly authority.
Obedience may be one of the most difficult things we learn.
(If it’s what I want to do, is it really obedience?)
Obedience isn’t easy. It’s rewarding.
I can’t walk by faith when the path is clear in my sight.
Obedience is the surest way to grow faith.
Test that and see if it is true.
What if “obeying” looks like losing my life?
Well amen. Then I want to say “I have only done my duty.”
What if my spiritual leaders get it wrong?
Bound to happen. They’re accountable to God.
Yikes. I don’t envy them. Hopefully they tremble.
God loves justice, right-ruling. He’s the Restorer.
He repays two blessings for every woe.
He gives grace to the humble.
He’s sovereign over us.
There’s no authority over me that isn’t given from above.
No earthly authority can ruin my Life.
My heavenly Father gives me bread.
Not a stone.
He is worthy.
He loves me.
He gives me Life.
I can give him my life.
According to my faith, let it be done to me.
According to your faith, let it be done to you.
