Just do what He says

Just do what He says and nobody gets hurt. In fact, if you would have done what He said then you'd be living in a land filled with milk and honey. But since you didn't, you are dying of thirst. Moses, since you didn't do what He said you won't enter the Promised Land and Aaron you're about to die.

Why do we not obey? The answer is simple- we don't want to. We don't trust God to be king but we definitely trust ourselves to be king. The Creator doesn't know what is best but the creation sure does. Pride and lack of trust keep us from obeying.

Lord, give us hearts that want to obey. May we truly believe that you are a fortress against all who would harm us. May we truly believe that Your way is better than our way. Bring men and women into our lives who obey and believe so we can learn. Challenge me with the godly. Convict me with my folly. Show me that You are trustworthy and strong.

In Jesus' Name
Amen
