What does it truly mean to be obedient? In a year like this, obedience can sometimes feel like a challenge too high to conquer. Yet, obedience might not always yield immediate results, but it promises a bountiful harvest at the proper time. As we muse upon experiences and stories from our lives and the biblical fathers - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, we try to understand the perseverance, faith, and the power of obedience in difficult times. Ever wondered how Paul's words in Romans 12:1, that call us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, translate into our everyday lives? This episode is a deep dive into the concept of surrendering control and letting God be the driver, a concept that can be particularly daunting during uncertain times. We try to shed light on the struggles and beauties associated with this surrender, and how it can truly help us to rest, especially when the road ahead seems uncertain.We wrap up our conversation with the intriguing story of Moses and the Israelites from Numbers 20. A powerful tale on trust, obedience, and the dire consequences of doubt, we underscore the importance of seeking God's kingdom first and foremost. We also talk about prayer and how it acts as a place of exchange, helping us let go of our human instinct to take control. Join us as we explore the wisdom in accepting that we might not always understand the timing of events, but trusting in God's plan can indeed strengthen our faith and foster obedience.Check out more of Lauren Daigle's music and if she's coming to a city near you by visiting laurendaigle.com!
