Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in obedience to him. (Psalm 128:1)
This passage goes in to outline many of the ways an obedient man will be blessed by the Lord.
Recently I have been talking with many people about the account of the rich man who came to Jesus (Matthew 19:16-26) and asked what was required of him. Jesus told him to walk in obedience. Then, when the man inquired further, Jesus told him to sell everything and give all his money away.
Not everyone will be called to sell all their possessions and give all their money away. Yet, all are called to obedience - totally and completely. And, when we inquire further, Jesus will reveal the thing - or things - in our life that compete for our time, allegiance, and faithfulness to Him.
So, this morning, I ask The Lord to reveal the things in my life that keep me from walking in obedience to Him and Him alone.
