Obedience

One day Jesse said to David, “Take this basket of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread, and carry them quickly to your brothers. And give these ten cuts of cheese to their captain. See how your brothers are getting along, and bring back a report on how they are doing.”
1 Samuel 17:11-13


David was obedient to what his father told him to do, which lead him to a victory that began his journey to King. What if we were obedient to our Father, Jesus when he tells us to move, go, or stand still? What if we didn't allow our own frustrations and selfish agendas to keep us from being obedient? I know that sometimes when God gives us instruction we may not understand it's purpose, but that's when we must rely on our faith in God and strength in the Lord to be obedient. Your faith will give you peace and your strength in the Lord will give you endurance to finish the journey. Romans 8:28 says"for all things work together for the good of them who love God and are called according to His purpose." We must remember, we have no control over our lives, so why not put your trust in the ONE who has control over everything and has already promised us, through His Word that all things will work for our good. So no matter what lets choose to relentlessly be obedient to our Father.
