Friday, July 22, 2005 Maybe you have heard the hymn...trust and obey for there's no other way...to be happy in Jesus...is to trust and obey. It is not an option, to trust and to obey is imperative in the Christian life. Let me take this time to bring you to God's heart on trust and obedience.
How is trust and obedience related? It's simple...if you don't trust someone...you won't obey him. Why? Let me narrate to you a familiar story that contains great truth. There was a man who was mountain-climbing...as he was halfway through...his rope that was tight to his waist broke. He grapped immediately to a branch...Afraid, the man cried out to God...God, in his mercy, asked the man to release His grip on the branch...then the man cried: who else is out there?! He did not let go...the next morning, he was found dead...just centimeters from the ground. If he had just let go...he would be saved...many times...we too need to let go and release everything we have on our hands and hearts to God. We can only do that if we trust Him...We show our trust by our obedience...if only that man had obeyed what God had said. 'Lord, I give you my heart' is a song of commitment...to learn to surrender everything we have inside our hearts to Him... Why? So our hearts will be fully turned towards Him...that He is able to mould...and then to use as willing vessels...let us catch the heartbeat of God- to hear what He says, trust that His words are true..and then to obey! "For I desire obedience, not sacrifice..." -God Benedict History Maker
