We all struggle with obedience. We know that we are saved by grace, but Christ as our Lord calls us to obey Him. Sometimes that can be a challenge for us. Thomas a Kempis said, “Instant obedience is the only kind of obedience there is; delayed obedience is disobedience. Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace.”
We may agree with that, but we may also believe that the cost of obedience may be too high at the time. I have heard it said, “the cost of obedience is nothing compared with the cost of disobedience.” May the Holy Spirit give us the courage to embrace instant obedience no matter the cost, knowing that God will bless us!
