Whatsoever ---

In the first book of the Old Testament, we find this short command:  "Whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do."  (Genesis 31:16)  In the New Testament, we find a very similar command in John 2:5 -- "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it."
These are, no doubt, some of the most important words in all the Bible, for it is impossible to live a victorious Christian life without complete obedience to the will of God.

I read a little quotation some time ago, and I think about it quite often.  It said -- "Life's supreme and most important matter is that of obedience to God."  There are so many things in life that we think are of great importance, but if we are not careful we will forget or neglect the most important! 
Perhaps it would be good, right now, to take a little time and reflect on the things that are important to us.  Do any of these "important" things take precedence over, or hinder, our obedience to God?

We must remember that it is obedience that brings the blessing!  So let us "Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey!"
