2006 Theme
'The Relentless Pursuit For Complete Obedience'

"Obedience is far better than sacrifice. God is more interested in your listening to him than your offerings..." I Sam. 15:22 Living

God Bless and may His richest blessings be unto each one of you my dear readers in the Lord!
We are moving along in 2006 by God's grace and mercy and I don't know about you, but I did a new year's self-inventory as I petitioned God about a needed theme for this year, the above was what He gave me. Obedience to God is the most important possession that Christians have, whatever way we can improve or enhance it is very pinnacle to us. We must understand the difference in obedience and 'complete obedience.' In our efforts to be pleasing to God which one do we think He will pay more attention to?
We take the time to tweak many things in our life, we want to make it better, upscale it, upgrade it, etc. But what about our obedience to God? How much tweaking do we do to this? And it definitely can be tweaked! Just reflect for a moment on some of our responses to things God asked us to do last year. Did we hesistate, pout, procrastinate, ponder, question? Did we drag our feet or complain? If any increment of these things were found in our responses, we've got work to do! Complete and absolute obedience is hastening to God's call the second you hear it and doing what He is requesting to the best of your ability even if you don't understand why.
I challenge each of you as well as myself to tweak the excellence in our obedience to God. See how much closer to complete obedience we all can come. Stay focused on what we're doing and why; obeying our Heavenly Father because it pleases Him for His children to sincerely obey.
