Obedience is a Decision to Please


      Obedience is not a ‘yes sir, no sir’ action but a decision to please. Parents can have a tendency to confuse this and inflict demands on their children instead of teaching on pleasing. God never wants to inflict any demands on us but does desire for us to live a life worthy of Him and please Him in every way (Colossians 1:10). Paul goes on to say, that living a life this way strengthened with God's glorious might…we are qualified to share in the inheritance of His holy people.  When we come to know that our Father is not demanding anything from us but desires to be close to us, our approach to the way we live changes. We begin to want to obey His Word instead of trying to act as though we can do it our way.
