So when you feel like walking the path of sin today—OBEY!

So when you feel like not being faithful to your spouse—OBEY!

When you feel like giving your employer a little less than your best effort—OBEY!

When you feel like just being lazy in your prayer life—OBEY!

When you don’t feel like reading your daily devotional—OBEY!

When you’d rather just crawl into a hole and do nothing—OBEY!
