Quick Bible Study: What the Bible Says About Obedience

If you love the Lord and have an active daily relationship with Him, he will make clear your path. That means you must be obedient to his directives. Conversely, should you decide not to obey, be prepared to suffer the consequences. (See “Jonah and the whale” for the best example of consequences after acting contrary to God’s will.) If God directs you to do something and makes it abundantly clear, surrender to His will and obey his plan. But how do you know if you are being obedient to God? My rule of thumb is YOU WILL KNOW because He will guide your way and open the doors. You will notice coincidences or happenings that God places as mile markers for you to continue whatever He commands while you are obeying those commands.
