Some of the things God instructs us to do don’t make us happy. Some things don’t make sense and go against how we feel. For our flesh, it’s extremely difficult to obey God.
God never told us to obey Him with a smile on our faces and gladness in our hearts. He simply wants us to obey Him.
As we obey Him, even if it’s reluctantly, we’re prioritizing Him above our logic, emotions, and our flesh.
Look at Jesus in Luke 22:42. He wasn’t excited to suffer and separate Himself from the Father for us. However, He pushed His emotions aside and obeyed God.
As we continue to obey God, hopefully, we’ll get to a point where our reluctancy is short-lived because fulfilling the will of God and experiencing the fruit of our obedience is magnified. Let’s obey God above anything else.
Luke 22:42 NLT “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
