Obedience

Lately I've been praying for direction on work and callings. I've been praying for months, but have not heard anything from God till this past Wednesday. God told me that He is not showing me anything coz' He want me to learn how to rely on Him first. When I heard it I was like God, are You serious?!??? haha this really show how obedient i am !!

I started to think about what does it mean to be obedient to God. And I realized that obedience is one of the key element to follow God. And I totally see why God want me to go on this venture. Because to follow God in the business world is one of the most denied area that most and is also one of the area that takes most courage in terms of obedience and faith to make it happen.

Here is a very simple example, one of God's character is integrity. God hates lies, and God is the truth. There is no gray area for honesty in God's eye. However, it is one of the most denied area in business. To be truthful to our customersand employees is not easy and is not the norm most of the time. Especially in thing that touches money.

It takes faith to obey God, and the experience of people who went through the venture in the past told me stories after stories about how business owners put faith in God and miracle just happened in merely ten days. That really reminded me what Jesus said in Luke 17:6 “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

This is how much God cherish our faith and obedience. Obedience always comes with faith and faith will grow through obedience.
