The Call to Practice Obedience

In Isaiah 1:19–20, the Bible says, “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” There's a blessing in obeying God. You can't say you're entirely obedient to God until it becomes a lifestyle. But it starts with a one-time act.

If you're going to serve God, obedience will cost you something, and first, yourself. It means laying aside comfort, expectations, and even logic. God’s instructions rarely come when it feels convenient. They come when our faith is tested.

In 2022, God gave me and my family an assignment that required faith and sacrifice. The budget was in millions, yet God said, “Go.” We obeyed, even when it made no sense. By the end, we lacked nothing. That's how obedience works. It may empty your hands for a season, but it fills your life with grace.

You may be in a season where God’s instruction feels costly. Remember, you're not called to understand first, but to obey.
