23"But this is what I commanded them, saying, 'Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.'
24"Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward.
God started this year talking about walking, running, etc...and there is more to be said about those things but it is very hard to run your race and fight the good fight of faith if you and I are not first obedient. I posed the question last week. How many areas will God allow us to disobey Him before He corrects us or allows us to backslide or worse become reprobate?! Like you, I'm not willing to find that out. This is why a relationship with God is so vital. When we spend time with Him, He speaks to us. When we spend time in His Word--He speaks to us and we learn His voice. That's a relationship it's two sided. Whether God talks to us in our spirit or through His Word we are communicating with each other. He says, Obey my voice and I will be your God. So what happens to that standing when we disobey Him? Who is our God then? We are! Uh oh... Ok so then we repent and cry out for help and God says now walk in the way that I command you. Not in the way your feelings tell you to walk, your momma, or your best friend no! Walk in my ways, though they may appear strange and cause all kinds of internal conflict walk in my ways. Why? That it may be WELL WITH YOU! God is saying I created you and I have put spiritual laws into place, you will never be consistently successful with Me or in life doing things YOUR WAY! It has to be MY WAY. Can I tell you that there will be no rebels in Heaven, and the ones that get in with satan at his last attempt to act crazy will join him forever in the Lake of Fire....period. No we can't afford to be rebels or mavericks doing what we want, we have to obey Him and do things His way. When we obey Him we are promised wellness as we walk. Is it well with your soul? If not go back to the last command the LORD gave you and obey (-:
