When Rehoboam want to fight against Israel to get back the kingdom of Israel, God told him that it was not His will through His man, Shemaiah. It did not easy to obey the word of God that is different from the thinking of Rehoboam. However, Rehoboam listened to the word of God. He and his army obeyed the Lord’s command. They turned back and did not attack Jeroboam. Because of Rehoboam's obedience, God help him to strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and made his people support him.
When we are faced with the same thing as Rehoboam, what shall we do? Do we obey the will of God that is different from our thoughts? Are we willing to sacrifice our pleasures and our ego to obey God's Word? Do we believe that God is always right and follow the guidance of Holy Spirit?
When we obey, God will lead us to victory after victory, glory to glory, and miracle after miracle. The key is to focus on God. When we focus on God, we will be able to obey God's Word.
"For God is pleased when, conscious of His will, you patiently endure unjust treatment. Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you. For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in His steps." 1 Peter 2:19-21 (NLT)#quote #inspiration #inspiredtoinspire #motivation#inspiratorwords #worldinspirator #life #message#lesson #inspired by #2Chronicles 11 #join#bacasek by @impactorsmdc #daily #bible #reading#masadepancerah #church #mdcsby #impactinglife#reflection #loveGodimpactothers #obedience
