WHY DON'T WE LIKE TO OBEY?

God's kingdom is based on obedience, starting with the Godhead. Jesus Himself, the Son of God, was obedient, obedient to the death of the cross—and we are commanded to have this same attitude (John 14:15, 21, 23; Philippians 2:5-8; and 1 John 5:3).

 
Every blessing hinges on obedience. God told His people in Isaiah 1:19: "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land." And yet why do we resist obeying? We are so prone toward the flesh, aren't we? We want to do it out way, and yet it never brings blessing.
 
We cannot run our homeland unless it is based on obedience. Titus 2:5 commands us wives to be obedient to our husband. We set the example for our children who are to be obedient to us. When obedience is established in the home, the home runs smoothly.
 
When a wife resists her husband, there is no peace. When children are not trained to obey, there is chaos! No mother can enjoy mothering disobedient children. No wonder many mothers don't like mothering. They have children who are out of control.
 
Establish obedience in your home and the blessing of God will come down.
 
Provers 29:17 says: “Correct thy son, and he shall give thee REST; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.”
