God has give us His written Word and placed His Spirit within us to provide moment-by-moment direction for our lives. And when we "wake up" and realize diligent obedience to our heavenly Father is "the way to go," life becomes a blessed adventure. Even mundane, daily activity becomes a magnificent journey where we live guided by His Spirit and His Word.
As the Body of Christ, our lives are not to be guesswork. God has a purpose for each of us individually, and for the Body as a whole. All we have to do is obey!
Paul reminds us in Romans 10:8 that faith is rooted in obedience. "The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is the word of faith, which we preach."
That's where faith is - in your mouth and in your heart. Faith is hearing God and obeying Him - it's as simple as that. The only way any of you will be obedient is to put your faith in God. Obedience doesn't work because you think God's Word is a set of rules. Obedience works because you know in your heart and confess with your mouth that God's Word is your very life. Then you do it!
Much love,
Joseph
