Trust and Obey
Two simple words that I get reminded of every now and again. It pretty much sums up the Christian life. Trusting God and obeying God. They can both be very hard to do sometimes. Sometimes it is very hard to trust God when we can't understand or see what He's doing. And it can be very hard to obey when we don't know that the results will be, when there's a cost involved or when it's something we simply do not want to do. But as the old hymn says, there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. Are you trusting and obeying?
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet.
Or we'll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
