I have always thought it was interesting that when Jesus
called these disciples to follow Him they immediately did. They didn't delay in
doing so. They didn't go and pray about it. They didn't take their time trying
to decide if this was what they should or shouldn't do. They didn't
procrastinate. They didn't wait until all the conditions seemed right. They
didn't make excuses. They immediately followed Him.
How quick are we to obey when the Lord speaks to us? Do
we wait? Do we debate? Do we obey when it is convenient for us? Do we try to
reason it out and then make the decision? Or do we, as the old hymn saying...
trust and obey... and do what He says?
There are two forms of disobedience. The first is just
simply "don't do it"- which is rebellion. The other is "delayed obedience".
Delayed obedience is the same as disobedience. Our obedience is a serious
matter to the Lord. It was disobedience that cased mankind's fall in the
garden. Jesus even spoke about it in a parable in Luke 14.
How is your obedience? Are you quick to obey? Do you
"drag your feet" in obeying? Are you immediate about it? Or do you do it in
your own timing and when you get around to it?
Have a great day. Is your obedience to God immediate or
do you take your time about it?

Heya fantastic blog! Does running a blog similar to this take a
large amount of work? I have absolutely no knowledge of coding however I had been hoping to start my own blog in the
near future. Anyway, should you have any suggestions or techniques for
new blog owners please share. I know this is off topic nevertheless I simply had to ask.
Appreciate it!
