OBEDIENCE:
COST OF

But we tend to dicker with God and try to get an easy way. “Lord, I want to be blessed, but I don’t want it to cost me this much. Couldn’t we talk this thing over?”

“No,” says God,” we can’t talk this thing over. My rules are my rules and my Word is my Word and My will is made known in the Word and there isn’t anything to talk over. So you come My way and you will be blessed. Go your way and you’ll lose everything.”

Matthew 10:10–39; Luke 9:23–25, 57–62; John 15:8, 10, 18–21
