In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. – Ephesians 3:12

Pointed out in “Spooked by Something New”, sometimes obedience seems like a hardship. We had rather stick to our difficult or complicated situation rather than turn to God for the necessary steps to freedom.

Think of the benefits if we obey and the consequences if we disobey. There are blessings of peace and joy if we obey. On the other hand, disobeying God results in conflict and sadness. Think about a child going to the beach. They don’t use a teaspoon to play in the sand. They use their toy shovel and toy bucket.

Today’s song is Goodness of God by CeCe Winans. When we desire peace and joy like waves that continue to hit the shore with a soothing music to the ear, we don’t worship man-made idols. We worship the Sovereign Lord! We use a shovel to fill our bucket with God’s goodness.
