Preparing for Power Part 3Bài mẫu

God asks us to be obedient. God promises good to those who follow Him. Following Him requires daily surrender and being willing to take bold steps of obedience. Especially when it’s scary. Let’s think for a moment about what God is asking Elijah to do. Ahab is an enemy of Elijah. It is not safe for Elijah to be out and about. His life is at risk. He’s been in hiding for the last three years. And now, God has called him to come out and continue the work set before him. This requires Elijah to be face to face with a very powerful threat. God is asking Elijah to trust him and obey. It’s no small thing for Elijah to say “yes” to God again. This act of obedience is a bold one. Elijah steps into God’s power and chooses to obey. He already knows that God will lead the way and protect him, come what may. Ask Yourself : -Where is God asking you to step into bold obedience? -What holds you back from obeying God when you sense Him calling you into (or out of) something? -If you take a moment to think back on the different experiences in your life, how can you see God’s hands in the times you have obeyed? Pause to Pray : Father God, I chose to trust in you and your ways. Open my heart and eyes to where I need to step into deeper obedience… Take a Next Step: Talk to a trusted friend or advisor about an area of your life that you need to say “YES” to God. Invite this person to pray over you and hold you accountable to follow through with bold obedience.
