Commentary from Pastor Michael White:
So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them. – Lk. 19:32
The disciples did what Jesus said! And everything played out according to Jesus’ plan. When you follow God’s instructions down to the smallest detail, you will find your life unfolding just as He said it would. When you live a life of obedience, everything will develop according to God’s design!
Our problem is not that God doesn’t speak; it is that we don’t listen. We filter what He says and make our own determination as to what is necessary. We cherry pick His instructions and do only what we feel like doing. And then, when things don’t work out according to His promise, we wonder why!
If we would follow Jesus – not just to the limit of convenience, but to the point of conviction – every promise He has ever made would come to pass.
Prayer:
Father, I want to follow You fully! Make me attentive to Your voice like never before. Help me to study Your word like never before! I am so grateful for Your presence, in Jesus’ name.
