Dad's Ramblings -- Obeying God's Will

"So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land."
 
                                                                       Jonah 2:10
 
All creation obeys when God speaks. At the word of the Lord, the Red Sea parted to make dry land. The sun stood still at God's command. He told a rock to produce water and it did. He told a donkey to speak and it obeyed. All creation obeys – except humans. We alone think we have the option of obeying or spurning God's Word. When we reject what He says, we pay a price, but He goes to great lengths to get us to bring us to point of surrender to His will. Like Pharoah and the plagues, God can make life miserable until we say "Yes" to His will and His way. Only then will we experience release and peace.
 
Today's Thought: Escape from the discipline of the Lord comes through surrender to His will.
 
Have a obedient day. Love you.
