Obedience in All Things

Getting back on course will require
OBEDIENCE.

Jesus,
my greatest example of OBEDIENCE
 loved all,
even those that betrayed, mocked, scorned
and
crucified
Him.
Art by George Rouault
With no need for
baptism,
He lead the way.

The Lord has prepared this course for me.
He will guide me and help me
with all that is required of me.

Doing only a few of the things
will not get me to my destination.
I must be OBEDIENT to everything God commands.

even,
and most especially those things
that may be lowly, menial, and difficult.

(RP) quotes a hymn sung by many.
"I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord...
I'll be what you want me to be."
Hymn Page 270
Words by Mary Brown
Music by Carrie E Rounsefell

As I reviewed the words of this hymn,
I was reminded of a scripture from my youth:

" I awill go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no bcommandments unto the children of men, save he shall cprepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."
1 Nephi 3:7 of The Book of Moromon


Where are we going today Lord?
What do you want me to say?
Who do you want me to be?
