“Obedience!”

So today is the day that the trash cans go to the end of the driveway to be picked up tomorrow morning..and so this morning I went ahead and took the trash can down to the end but not the recyclables..they only pick them up every other week..and so I only had a half of the can full so I said well I’ll just wait till the next two weeks for that and get it then..but only to hear the holy the spirit say take all the trash out..and I thought well yes why would I want to keep it?..I mean if I can get it gone why not just go ahead and wheel it down the end of the driveway and let them pick it up in the morning..other then holding on to it for two more weeks..I mean it wasn’t going to hurt anything..but when the Lord speaks to you, we should really take heed and listen..for you know that obedience to God is everything..for we all know that we can do our own thing..and that is all fine and dandy..but when the Lord ask of us to do certain things in our lives I believe that He is testing us maybe just little..trying to see if were going to listen..kind of like when you hear Him say pick up that piece of trash that is on the ground at the store as your merely just walking by..or put that cart back in the right place..don’t push it up on the curve..or He’ll ask us to call someone..or send a card to someone..or even just go and pray for someone..but whatever in the world it may be..I think that God is always preparing us for what’s up ahead for us..because the Lord needs our obedience..for something He may ask may not make any sense whatsoever..and we think we don’t need to do that..but I tell ya guys when we listen to the Lord and when we obey Him..it is amazing at what can and will happen in our lives..for sometimes the little we do is big for someone else..to us it might not mean all that much but to someone else it could mean the world..so whenever the Lord speaks to us, each of us my prayer for all of us is  that we listen to Him..for He says His voice we would know..John 10:5…Amen..and let us always remember that we are the hands and feet of the Lord..for without action nothing gets done..for we know that faith without works is dead..James 2:14-26…and without faith it’s impossible to please the Lord..Hebrews 11:6..but with faith all things are possible..Matthew 19:26..for who knows we never know what way the Lord is leading us..or even through our obedience what may happen..so let us all always choose to say yes to the Lord when He asks from us to do something..for He is always needing and asking us to do something..so let us listen..and as we listen..let us obey..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
