THE BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE (7)
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: TUESDAY, 31 OCTOBER 2023
So, beloved, obedience to God not only foster spiritual growth and brings personal blessings but also has a positive impact on those around us. This impact can be a powerful testament to God’s goodness, love, and transformative power. It can inspire and lead others to seek a relationship with God as they witness the blessings that come from a life lived in obedience.
Bottom of FormSCRIPTURE: “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Obedience often results in personal transformation. As we grow in character, displaying qualities such as love, patience, and forgiveness, we become a living testimony to God’s work in our lives. Our transformation can lead others to consider the possibility of transformation in their own lives, (2 Cor. 3:18). Again, obedience can set off a ripple effect of blessings. When we obey God’s principles for generosity, compassion, and service, we create an environment where others may also experience God’s blessings through our actions, (Luke 6:38). Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: When we choose to obey God’s commands and live according to His principles, we become a testament to God’s blessings and inspire those around us.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, let us continue to ask God for the grace for obedience in our lives and of others around us.
PRAYER: O GOD, give us the grace for obedience and cause the effects to influence and bless those in our sphere of influence, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: As we obey God’s Word and keep His commandments, may it set off a ripple effect of blessings to those around us, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Matthew 5:16, 2 Cor. 3:18, Lk. 6:38
