When it comes to obeying the Lord, get up and go – obedience always means blessing.
I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and consider with me today Abraham, the Old Testament patriarch. God said to him, “Leave your country and your people and go to the land I will show you.” And Hebrews 11 says that Abraham “obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” That to me is astounding. Abraham had no idea where he was going, but it says that he still got up immediately and went. Ah, but us, all too often, when God tells us to get up and go do something, we kind of shuffle our feet and rationalize that we’re not quite certain we heard God right. After all, we want to know where God is sending us. I think we’d be quicker if we understood that obedience always means blessing. When it comes to obeying the Lord, if your get up and go has got up and gone, then go get it. It may be your first step today toward obeying the call of God on your life.
