..for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. Romans 2:13

 

As a parent, you’ll experience times when you tell your child to do something, they nod in acknowledgement and later you find they didn’t do what they heard you ask of them. It can be so frustrating. The truth of the matter is they do only what they want, especially if they know there is a reward for their obedience.

 

The Christian life is pretty much the same. As a child of God, have you ever heard God’s voice telling you to do something or go a certain path, you agreed with His words and then simply ignored His instructions? I think we all have done this at various times in life. Why? Usually because we feel what He asks of us is too much to bear or we are afraid to follow His lead in fear that something bad might happen.

 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5. The only way to navigate life using God’s GPS is by trusting Him completely and doing what His voice says. Trust me, you will never go wrong when you follow His voice to a T. Even if you feel ill equipped for His plans, trust that He will instill in you what’s necessary to carry through with His will for your life! God will never give you bad advice and leave you out to dry. Be not only a hearer of His word, but a doer! God bless!
