Obedience to Move Forward

We know what God is calling us to do, so how do we overcome our tendencies to hold back, procrastinate, and come up with good excuses? How do we do the work that needs done, cooperate with change, and find joy in the process?



We abide. God knows we want to get it right, and He, too, wants us to get it right. He's a good father who wants to teach us how to steward the pressure and change, and let them manifest as conviction.



In volume five of Abide: A Year of Growing Deep and Wide, we pursue obedience to move forward.



We learn that the cost of disobedience is much higher than the pain of going outside our comfort zone, but obedience allows us move in freedom. When we abide and obey, it changes our days, and then it changes our lives, and then it changes the lives around us.



Obedience allows us to move forward into something better - something we might not even have the capacity to see. But God sees it, and He rarely allows warriors to play on the sidelines while a battle rages. He mobilizes His people for breakthrough, and it begins with obedience.
