Trust And Obey In Faith
“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith”. Hebrews 11:7
By faith, you obey even when you don’t understand.
A lot of times, God says things that are not so easy to accept, like, “Love your enemies” or “Forgive those who hurt you.” That’s not easy! Yet, every time God tells you to do something, it’s always a test of your faith.
You need to trust him enough to obey him. You need to believe in him enough to obey his words, knowing that it is always for your utmost good.
Just like he did with Noah, God will ask you to do things you don’t understand. In your own wisdom, it may not be the smartest move but He is the all-wise God who knows the end even from the beginning.
Situations like these are a test. Faith is believing when you don’t see it, but it is also obeying when you don’t understand it. If you don’t learn to obey, you’ll miss out on so many blessings God has in store for you.
But if you learn to do what God tells you to do without question, even when it seems absurd and the exact opposite of your natural tendency, then you will grow in faith and be blessed.
