EXCERPT

LEARNING OBEDIENCE

He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

(1 John 2:4–6 NKJV)

My endless platitudes and continual finger- pointing have worn thin. I have concluded that talking about obedience— especially in regard to other people—i s much easier than living it. Lord, show me how to be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only (James 1:22).

Readily I admit that living according to my own desires is much more comfortable than living for You. Yet Your Word admonishes me that if I really love You, I’ll keep Your commandments (John 14:21). My heart’s desire is to grow in love and obedience. I don’t want to be a liar by claiming to know You while walking in disregard to Your Word (1 John 2:4).

In my hard- hearted condition I so often wait until I’m dangling by the rope of my own selfishness before I cry out to You and change my ways. You died to free me from the clutches of sin; why should I return to a life of selfishness that only brings bondage? But I know that to obey is better than sacrifice (1 Sam. 15:22). Obedience means more to You than repentance.

Teach me how to walk in obedience. Do what it takes to make me clay in the hands of the Master Potter. Nothing in my life is sacred except my devotion to You; I place Your purposes above my preferences. Embed Your law in my mind and write it on my heart, so I will be led by my relationship with You rather than a list of dos and don’ts (Jer. 31:33).
