bearing witness and obedience

Hello everyone.
I was reminded today of a life lesson from Growing Kids God’s Way, the parenting class. Delayed obedience is disobedience. I have wonderful children, but they are still learning. For that matter, we all are. Well, it was interesting today, one of my children told me she would do her chores later because she was busy. Understand their full list of jobs, even if they did them slowly, carefully and thoroughly would take at most thirty minutes. Usually about fifteen. Two hours later she was still busy, but when she wanted something, she wanted it right then. I wonder how many times we have done this with the Lord. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. But we have lots of things we do during our lives. Some things are good and others might be extra things, and because of them we tell the Lord we are busy ‘right now’, we will definitely do it ‘later’. What if we forget? Is that an excuse? I used to be a master of procrastination. I say used to be by faith. J So many times it would be simpler if I had just gotten up and done it. Have you been there?
Romans 8:14, I think, says that sons (male and female) of God are led by the Spirit of God. I know sometimes when my children ask about something, I have something else to talk about to them first. Are we sometimes wanting wisdom in one area but the Lord has been trying to deal with us in another area, so He seems not forthcoming? If we want to move forward with the Lord, being led by the Spirit, we will have to do that thing first. Remember, His yoke is easy and His burden is light. So just do it now! J
I love y’all.
