Obedience

Bible Reading:  I Peter 1:1-16

Key Verse: Verse 14 - “As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:”

Key Words: As obedient children


Have you ever noticed how hard it is to obey?  Something about our pride doesn’t like to obey.  Wives battle with obeying their husbands, children battle with obeying their parents, employees battle with obeying their bosses.  We all battle obeying those who have the rule over us.  But I promise you this: we will all show up on Sunday morning and sing “To God Be the Glory” after we’ve fought all the week before with those whom we are supposed to obey.


Elisabeth Elliot, at Urbana 76, told of her brother Thomas Howard. Their mother let him play with paper bags she’d saved if he put them away afterwards. One day she walked into the kitchen to find them strewn all over the floor. Tom was out at the piano with his father singing hymns. When confronted, he protested, “But Mom, I want to sing.” His father stated, “It’s no good singing God’s praise if you’re disobedient.


May God bless us as we all sing praise to God and obey those whom God has placed over us.

What to do: 

Remember, its no good singing Gods praises if youre not obedient.
