396 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ
*Obedience*
"We must obey God rather than men." Acts 5:29

Sometimes in life God calls you to do things that you really don't want to do. This is a part of obedience to our God.
Example from the bible:
God spoke to Esther and told her with the king there would be a time to be quiet and then a time to speak up. When the time came to speak up Esther was scared because speaking to the king without being called upon was a very dangerous thing to do in that time. She could lose her life for being disobedient to the king. The lord gave her Perseverance and she saved her Jewish people.
Paul continuously was ridiculed for his faith. God needed him to share his testimony which meant he would be pelted with rocks and imprisoned. Paul was faithful and the words of Christ spread through the towns.
Our lord Jesus probably at one point thought lord is there any other way to save our people other then being tortured. God of course said there was no other way, Jesus was bloodied before man but then because of his obedience was raised from the dead and made the king of all who enter the gates of heaven.
The Challenge:
God will ask you to do things that bring you glory but there will be times your asked to do things you don't want to do. In the moment those things seem odd or uncomfortable but in time God will reveal his purpose. Make your faith stronger than your pride!
