Is Your Obedience Based On You Asking God To Meet Certain Criteria In Your Life or Is Obedience A Part Of Your Lifestyle?

People hear what you say, but they are also looking at what you do.   We get very upset when people tell us one thing and do another.   Look inwardly today.   Listen to your words that you speak to God and make sure your life and your lifestyle are in line with what you are telling Him you will do.

It is easy to say ... God if you do this for me, I will do whatever you tell me to do.   We need to live our lives doing what He has already told us to do and wait and watch Him do what we need Him to do based on the obedience we are already walking in.   We have to stop trying to make deals with God and just walk in obedience.

When we try to make deals with God, we are already saying that our obedience is based on Him meeting our need.   How would you feel if your child came to you and said that they would be obedient if you buy them a new toy?  Shouldn't they be walking in obedience and allowing their obedience to be noticed by you?    Once you notice how good they have been, that will cause you to want to do something good for them.    It's time to live in obedience because it is the right thing to do and to stop walking in conditional obedience based on what you want or need done in your life.
