DON'T THINK TOO LITTLE OF IT....

Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

“Disobedience happens not when we think too much of grace but when we think too little of it” ― Tullian Tchividjian
Romans 6:1 (LB)
Well then, shall we keep on sinning so that God can keep on showing us more and more kindness and forgiveness?

How do we show GOD that we love him?
Obey Him.
Deuteronomy 30:20
Choose to love the Lord your God and to obey him and to cling to him, for he is your life and the length of your days.

Do we give GOD that kind of honor for His grace?
Acknowledging Him as OUR LIFE? Acknowledging Him as “the LENGTH of our DAYS”?

Or do we often forget and get caught up in the culture, the bustle, and "selfish" and slip back into DISOBEDIENT choices?

We need to stay on our toes!
We need to be digging into HIS Word daily seeking what He wants from us; looking for the path to obedience.
Psalm 119:2-5
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways! You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently. Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes!

So…
Today…let’s HONOR GOD with obedience!
Today…let’s CHERISH the GRACE we have received!
Today…let’s RENEW our thoughts and minds and decisions to those that line up with HIS!
ROMANS 12:2
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. 

…we need the supernatural grace and power of God to stand by us in the little things. The tiniest detail in which we obey has all the omnipotent power of the grace of God behind it. When we do our duty, not for duty’s sake, but because we believe that God is engineering our circumstances in that way, then at the very point of our obedience the whole superb grace of God is ours…― Oswald Chambers

Be blessed!
Have an awesome weekend of OBEDIENCE and GRACE!
