The Race- Part 10

     2 Corinthians 10:6- And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

     This verse is showing you step ten- obedience.

     In all of the devotions that I do, I always end with, God wants you to do this so you should obey him, but I have never done a devotion about obedience.

     There are many people we have to obey. Number one, God, parents, and anyone in authority of us. Right now I will start off with God.

     God is very powerful and He can do anything he wants to us, that's why you should obey Him. He is very merciful though, but you should still obay. How many times has God called you to do something, and you have disobeyed and ignored Him? I am very sorry to say this, but even I have done that before. If we got punished for every time we disobey God, all of us wouldn't be feeling that good right now. God is merciful to us though, He doesn't give us all the punishment we deserve.

     We should obey our parents too. Ehpesians 6:1 says- 

     Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

     It doesn't matter how old you are, as long as you have parents, you should obey them.

     We should also obey all people who have authority over us. It doesn't matter how much you may not like them or what they're telling you to do, as long as they're telling you to do something that's not bad, you should obey them. Here are some people that we sould obey- Pastors, teachers, mayors, governers, and presidents- that's not even all the people you have to obey!

     God wants us to obey Him by obeying. Pray, and ask God to help you to obey Him.
