Obedience
Why is it so hard to be obedient to God? Why is it that when I think I know what God is telling me to do I question it? doubt it? I come up with excuses to not follow it? worry about what others will think? (sorry, big t... I am more like you in this area than I like to admit!) read into every little thing too much and end up confusing myself more and more? why do I not just step out in faith? Why is it so hard?
I know that God if faithful, all-knowing, all-powerful, loving. I know that he is NOT a God of confusion or doubt. I know that he has plans for me... good plans. and it frustrates me that I let my pride, doubt, worry, fear, etc... get in the way of those plans. I want so badly to do the right thing. I want so badly to be obedient. but it isn't about what I want. it is all about what God wants.
Jeremiah 29:11-12
"For I know the plans I have for you,"declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."

don't you think it's all part of "working out our salvation" Trusting what we KNOW about God and making sure what we BELIEVE about Him is true. ultimately WHAT we believe dictates HOW we live.
