As a mother of three, I constantly say the command, "Obey!" Some days, teaching my kids to obey seems like trying to see through thick fog. God reminds me in those moments I am the same--the child who doesn't listen. I am the child who doesn't obey. Obedience is hard to do.
The good news is that God gives me the power to obey. The free gift of grace in my life leads me to do what He wishes much more than I would on my own. More good news: He also gives me mercy when I don't obey. Often times, I fail in my flesh, and He's right there guiding me through the foggy mess I've created.
I'm so thankful I see clearly the gift of my obedient spirit and His mercy for my disobedient flesh. Aren't you?
