Obedience

SCRIPTURE Matthew 18:1-4 At about the same time, the disciples came to Jesus asking, "Who gets the highest rank in God's kingdom?" For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom.

OBSERVATION God desires for us to keep the "basics" that saved us from eternal death the foundation of my walk with God. In my day to day life, I never should stop from reading my Bible and prayer - the foundation from which I stand firm and honor God. This is the start of my obedience!

APPLICATION Walk in obedience!

PRAYER Lord thank You for You Word! Thank You for Your faithfulness and goodness to me. Forgive me for saying things that are not honoring when I'm tired. Lord, thank You for Your love and patience. I pray You lead me and that I will follow. Help me to follow in obedience. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
