Diligent Obedience

“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.”

PSALM 143:10

The Lord is All in All. He is life - he is everything. Shake the mirage of the false realities man has created. Everything is passing away - the only truth - the only constant is Jesus - He is God. He is Lord of my life. 

Look not at Jesus like a human friend but like the superhuman God of the universe that he is. Nothing is hard for him. He says, "Turn to me." Take everything to the Lord in faith. Follow his words and walk the path of uncertainty of your eyes knowing that what lies beyond the uncertain path of faith in Jesus is eternal life and a blessed life of abundance in the name of the Lord. 

Focus not on the blessing but on obedience to God and a personal relationship to Jesus in which you share all things. Keep no thing private from your Lord. To build your trust you must come unto the Lord and have faith in him that he loves you and has a plan for you. Speak to Jesus in your spirit - discuss all things with him in clarity.  

Focus on Jesus - not the action of the day. Keep your heart and mind diligent in seeking counsel from God - in this - he will provide you patience and a path.
