Painful Obedience



God has asked me to give up something and honestly I'm not at all happy about it. However, I know if I don't obey, the consequences could be severe, maybe even irreversible. 

So I have no choice but to trust God's will as I press through the pain. 

The most difficult challenge is that while giving up this behavior I'm living in an environment where I see it every day. 

No matter how tough,  it's vital that I intentionally keep a good attitude expecting God's blessing on the other side of this mountain.  

If you’ll willingly obey, you’ll feast like kings. But if you’re willful and stubborn, you’ll die like dogs. ~ Isaiah 1:19-20 MSG
