Carefully obey!

Exodus 23: 22
22 “But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.

People often tell me that, they send this morning reflection to other people they know.
That always humbles me in the deepest way.

Folks also ask me, where I get these devotional thoughts from.
They come to me as I listen to God through His Word—and they also come to me from the people I meet every day.

God does speak through people. Today’s verse came to me from a Pastor friend of mine.
I have never felt like I had to reinvent the wheel, when it comes to the things of God.

So then, I guess the question this morning is this: “Do you carefully obey God’s voice?”
Maybe the reason we have so many enemies, is because we haven’t obeyed yet.

That’s entirely possible, isn’t it?
Did you know that God is hostile towards those who oppose us?

The hostility toward our enemies from God, only comes as a direct result of our obedience.
That’s something to think about on this Monday morning…

·         What is this text of scripture, trying to teach me?
·         How am I currently falling short of the mark?
·         What am I really willing to change?

·         How can I make this change, a habit in my everyday life?
