Obey with faith

John 14:15 - "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."


Obedience is defined as submissive compliance to the commands of one in authority.  We should be obeying Him because we love Him.  


Obedience to God's commands will make us light and salt in a dark and tasteless world.


I've learned that obedience requires faith, even when things don't seem to be going right, or when we're obeying and what we're hoping for is not happening.  Knowing and trusting that God will ALWAYS bless us, in His timing.


Hebrews 11:1 - "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see"


We don't always see the resolution or the ending to a problem, but by faith, we can put our trust in God and obey Him while waiting!
