obedient

Opening Prayer: God unto whom all hearts are open and unto whom every will speaks, and from whom no secret thing is hidden, I pray You to cleanse the intent of my heart with the ineffable gift of Your grace, that I may perfectly love You, and worthily praise You.  Amen. ~The Cloud of Unknowing

Scripture: Isaiah 1:18-20

Journal: How do the words willing and obedient strike you today?  What is the relationship between the two?  How well do they describe your life these days?

Reflection: No man receives a word from God without instantly being put to the test by it.  We disobey and then wonder why we don’t go on spiritually. (My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers)

Prayers

Closing Prayer:  Lord God, make us willing and obedient this day, that we might eat the fruit of salvation, to the glory of your name.  Amen.
