When You Obey, God Moves
"Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways." - Psalm 128:1
Obedience is not flashy. It is not always easy. But it is always worth it. Every move of God begins with someone saying yes. Not a yes built on comfort or popularity or convenience. Just a simple yes rooted in obedience.
When you look back on the story of any faithful church or faithful life, you will see this pattern repeat over and over. God gives a burden. His people pray. God reveals a vision. And then His people step out in faith. But none of that matters if obedience is missing. Vision with no obedience is just a daydream. But vision fueled by obedience is how God changes lives.
God is not looking for perfect people. He is looking for obedient ones. That is how a local radio program in one small city became a global broadcast. That is how one pastor’s vision for future campuses is now happening in multiple locations. That is how our missions footprint has grown from a heart for the world to boots on the ground in six continents. Not because of strategy or luck. But because someone obeyed when God called.
What about you? Where is God calling you to obey right now? Maybe it is a big step like stepping into ministry or launching a dream you have been sitting on. Maybe it is a small step like speaking up for your faith or forgiving someone who hurt you. Whatever it is, obedience is the key that unlocks the blessing.
You do not have to see the whole path to take the next step. And you do not have to be certain about everything to be faithful with something. All God asks for is your yes. Say yes when He prompts your heart. Say yes when He stirs your prayers. Say yes when He reveals the next step. Because when you walk in obedience, you will always walk in blessing.
