What does it really mean to love God? Today we challenge the common disconnect between feelings and action in our spiritual lives through the powerful lens of John 15:10. Jesus delivers a straightforward message: "When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and I remain in His love."

We live in a culture that champions emotion and passion while often sidestepping the discipline of obedience. Yet Jesus never asked for mere admiration—He specifically connected love with obedience. This episode explores why obedience serves as both the proof of our love and the pathway to remaining connected to God's presence. Obedience costs something; it can feel difficult or even painful at times, but it consistently leads to spiritual fruit in our lives.

If you're experiencing spiritual dryness or distance in your relationship with God, this episode offers a challenging but transformative question: Have you been obeying what God last instructed you to do? Discover how being rooted in obedience creates stability even in seasons of silence or uncertainty. Join us for this soul-nourishing exploration of how obedience keeps us firmly planted in God's love and positions us for spiritual growth. Listen now, and let's rediscover together how the obedient life becomes the fruitful life. Subscribe to Wisdom for the Day for daily spiritual encouragement that helps you face life's challenges with renewed faith and clarity.

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 --> 00:00:19.489
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.489 --> 00:00:21.019
Let's get started.

00:00:21.019 --> 00:00:25.835
Let's get started.

00:00:25.835 --> 00:00:28.341
Today is day 177, rooted in obedience.

00:00:28.943 --> 00:00:43.927
From the Gospel of John, chapter 15, verse 10, from the New Living Translation when you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and I remain in His love.

00:00:43.927 --> 00:00:49.250
Love and obedience are not separate in God's kingdom.

00:00:49.250 --> 00:00:52.749
Jesus didn't say if you love me, admire me.

00:00:52.749 --> 00:00:56.229
He said if you love me, obey me.

00:00:56.229 --> 00:01:01.231
We live in a culture that celebrates passion but avoids discipline.

00:01:01.231 --> 00:01:04.087
But obedience is what proves our love.

00:01:04.087 --> 00:01:08.504
It's what keeps us rooted when emotions fade and clarity feels distant.

00:01:10.087 --> 00:01:18.769
Obedience is hard, it costs you something, sometimes it feels unfair or even painful, but it always leads to fruit.

00:01:18.769 --> 00:01:25.451
Jesus said that the obedient life is the abiding life, and the abiding life is the fruitful one.

00:01:25.451 --> 00:01:34.628
If you're wondering why your faith feels dry or distant, ask yourself this have I been obeying what God last told me to do?

00:01:34.628 --> 00:01:42.891
God blesses what he commands, and when your roots go deep in obedience, you'll grow even in silence.

00:01:42.891 --> 00:01:47.543
Pray with me, jesus.

00:01:47.543 --> 00:01:53.251
Help me to obey Not just in the easy things, but in the hard, costly places too.

00:01:53.251 --> 00:01:56.647
Let my obedience be an offering of love.

00:01:56.647 --> 00:02:03.572
Root me in your commands so I can remain in your presence and bear lasting fruit, amen.

00:02:03.572 --> 00:02:11.289
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
