It’s easy to obey if you were given the full picture of why you should do so in the first place. But what if the instructions are vague and you have lots of doubts? The Old Testament in the Bible is full of stories of GOD’s chosen people who had a lot of questions when the Lord spoke to them and ask them to do something for him.

The said characters were imperfect yet somehow through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, they managed to fulfill the task. And because they do so, Our Heavenly Father made sure that their names are forever part of HIS story. Fast forward to these modern times, it’s quite confusing to discern if the calling that we hear really came from GOD. We need to confirm it through testing. As we go through the challenge, our character develops.

We learn to be patient, persevering until the end. We transition from doubting to trusting. While our trust is stretch, we are slowly developing faith. As our faith deepens, we become more flexible and courageous. We learn to face our fears and bravely surpassed the trials. In the end, we will see that GOD was there with us through it all. We will then experience breakthrough as a reward for the tiny effort that was once called Obedience.
