What if the greatest expression of your love for God wasn't found in passionate worship or beautiful prayers, but in simple obedience? Today we explore the profound truth from John 14:15 that cuts straight to the heart of authentic faith: "If you love me, obey my commandments."

This devotional unpacks how obedience manifests in our daily lives—sometimes quiet and ordinary, other times sacrificial and challenging. We discover that true spiritual obedience transcends convenience and personal understanding. It's about following God's lead even when the path ahead seems uncertain, letting go of our desires to embrace His perfect will. As we explore this concept, we realize that obedience is quite literally love in action.

The most transformative moments in our spiritual journey often begin with a single act of obedience—one courageous "yes" that opens the door to God's work in our lives. Whether He's prompting you to take action, surrender something precious, or simply respond to His gentle whisper, today's message encourages immediate and wholehearted obedience. Through a heartfelt prayer, we ask for the strength to walk in full surrender, making our obedience a reflection of our love for Him.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.394
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.394 --> 00:00:08.762
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.762 --> 00:00:13.653
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.653 --> 00:00:19.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.070
Let's get started.

00:00:21.070 --> 00:00:25.378
Let's get started.

00:00:25.378 --> 00:00:33.962
Today is day 141, walk in Obedience.

00:00:33.962 --> 00:00:35.423
From John, chapter 14, verse 15, from the New Living Translation.

00:00:35.444 --> 00:00:37.165
Obedience isn't always exciting.

00:00:37.165 --> 00:00:43.034
Sometimes it looks quiet, it looks ordinary, it's just regular faithfulness.

00:00:43.034 --> 00:00:50.159
Other times it feels like a sacrifice.

00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.444
But to God, obedience is love in motion.

00:00:52.444 --> 00:00:56.712
John 14, 15 says If you love me, obey my commandments.

00:00:56.712 --> 00:01:06.819
Not if you feel like it, not if it makes sense to your plans, just obey.

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.543
Walking in obedience means you follow his lead, even when the road is unfamiliar.

00:01:09.543 --> 00:01:13.813
It means letting go of what you want so you can step into what he wills.

00:01:13.813 --> 00:01:21.548
It means saying yes in the dark, because you trust the one that's holding the light.

00:01:21.548 --> 00:01:23.350
That's holding the light.

00:01:23.350 --> 00:01:37.760
It won't always be comfortable, it won't always be popular, but it will always be worth it.

00:01:37.781 --> 00:01:45.295
Some of the biggest moves of God in your life will start with one simple act of obedience, one moment where you say yes, lord, even now, even here.

00:01:45.295 --> 00:01:49.689
So if he's prompting you to act, don't delay.

00:01:49.689 --> 00:01:56.132
If he's calling to you and telling you to let go, open your hand.

00:01:56.132 --> 00:02:00.246
If he's whispering to your heart, respond.

00:02:00.246 --> 00:02:02.893
Today let's pray.

00:02:02.893 --> 00:02:09.453
Lord, I want to obey you not just when it's easy, but when it's hard.

00:02:09.453 --> 00:02:13.126
Give me the strength to walk in full surrender.

00:02:13.126 --> 00:02:15.932
Help me to say yes without hesitation.

00:02:15.932 --> 00:02:19.750
Let my obedience be a reflection of my love for you.

00:02:19.750 --> 00:02:22.419
In Jesus' name, amen.

00:02:22.419 --> 00:02:24.664
In Jesus' name, amen.

00:02:24.664 --> 00:02:32.423
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
