God loves his children. He knows we cannot fully experience and enjoy his love unless we are obedient to Him. Obeying God is not meant to be a sterile, cold requirement; rather, it is a willing, glad-hearted response to One who loves us extravagantly and has our best interests at heart. God does not stand by at a distance, demanding our obedience. Rather, He blesses us by allowing us to be a part of accomplishing his purposes.

Not just the atoms, the ...

Even as spiritual leaders, we need to take regular inventory of what we are trusting in by asking ourselves the same question.

Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.
