Obedience: Living God's Purpose

Obedience: Apparently, this is my word for 2025. I hadn't planned it, but "obedience" keeps coming up in my daily prayer with God. 

On today's episode, we dive into what it means to be obedient to God's will and how "going our own way" is actually disobeying God and his plan for us. As an avid rule follower, I was very much taken aback when I realized that I was disobeying God when I tried to be in control. Wow. I hadn't realized that I was actually disobeying God's will for me when I decided I didn't like His timing and took the reins for myself. When I decide I want to lead instead of letting Him lead me. 

How many of us are struggling to find God's voice amidst the chaos in our life? How many of us are (like me) putting "prayer" on the to-do list? Rather than praying when He needs me to hear Him. Being obedient and listening to His plan for me. His purpose for me. 

Romans 8:28 is so key for our purpose, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."

Friends, what is your purpose? And are you living out your purpose? Are you living your life on purpose? 

Friends, let's lean in together to hear God's word. To hear His plan for each of us. And start living His purpose for us.
