hosea

God doesn't care if i know why or if i understand.
God cares if i obey.

so simple. yet so hard.

"Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens - what can you do? They are deeper than the depths of the grave - what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea." Job 11: 7-9

"God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding." Job 37:5

good example: hosea.

God says do something that seems pretty crazy. but he does it.
hosea is humbly and immediately obedient. he doesn't tell God..."um hang on..i'm not really sure, let me go think about that.."

this week, God made a point to remind me of this.

i know he made a point of this because this same...lesson...came repeatedly from several different, unconnected sources speaking truth into my life (and other people's lives hopefully).
so after about the third time this got brought up over the course of a few days, i figured it might be something pretty important that i should take some time to think about what this ...blind obedience...really looks like every day.
evvvvvvery day.
