Bold Obedience

Michael Wurz - 6/23/2024

In the journey of faith, bold obedience is a transformative act that can start with something as simple as giving away your last $5 to a stranger in need, illustrating trust in God's provision. The challenge intensifies when we're called to give more, pushing us beyond comfort into a realm of greater sacrifice and dependency on God. The apostles' lives provide a blueprint for such faith, showcasing signs, wonders, and radical actions taken to spread the message of Christ. However, it's crucial to distinguish between mere religious compliance and genuine obedience that springs from a heart attuned to God's unique call, exemplified by Jesus' approachable and compassionate nature. Embracing a new life in Christ means allowing the Holy Spirit to lead a transformation that permeates every aspect of our lives, from personal integrity to financial stewardship. Opposition may arise as a sign of obedience, but it also heralds the proximity to God's purpose for our lives. Miracles are a natural consequence of obedience, and faith is the cornerstone that enables us to take bold steps without knowing the full plan. As we prepare for God's provision, we must be ready to act immediately and completely, for anything less is disobedience. Reflect on areas in your life where greater obedience can be practiced and how to prepare for and act on God's guidance.
