Obedience

Let us set ourselves to obey God today. Whether the thing He asks of us is great or so small that we would be ashamed to let anyone know that it cost us anything, let us yield it to him as obediently as Abraham yielded Isaac.

The way of obedience is the way of joy. It leads to a blessing that is beyond our understanding, even as the blessing of Genesis 22:17–18 was beyond Abraham’s. It results in blessing for others as well as ourselves.

Is there any word of my Lord to me which I am refusing to obey? Perhaps I am arguing about it or trying to smother and forget it because I do not want to obey. Obey it—then "In blessing I will bless thee" is His promise.
