Are You Walking In Contingent Obedience or Is Your Obedience Based On Your Love For God and Not Just Having Your Wants Fulfilled?

Do you have contingent obedience?   When something is contingent, it is dependent on something else.  Are you telling God if he does something for you, you will obey Him or you will follow Him completely.   Our obedience should not be contingent upon God's blessing.   Understand, God will bless our obedience but we should not be making His blessings are requirement for us to obey.    For some reason, we get it confused.   We go to God and ask things of God and we tell Him if He will do it, what we will do.   Whereas, we should be obeying Him JUST BECAUSE HE IS GOD.   

To obey means to comply with the command, direction, and request of someone.   It means to submit to authority.   It's time for us to surrender and to submit.   When you surrender, you stop resisting.   You accept and cooperate with the Word and the will of God.    In other words, you begin to work with God which opens up the door for God to bless your life.  

So don't walk in contingent obedience.   Obey God because you love Him.   Obey God because you trust Him.   Obey God just because He is God.
