Rick Warren pastors one of the largest churches in America. He has some awesome quotes. Here's one I really like. "God doesn't owe you an expanation or reason for everything he asks you to do. Understanding can wait, but obedience can't. Instant obedience will teach you more about God than a lifetime of Bible discussion. In fact, you will never understand some commands until you obey them first. Obedience unlocks understanding." This is such a true statement! As I talk with people about issues they are going trough a lot of the time it is because they are living in disobedience. They have not done what God has asked them to do and it is coming out in ugly ways in their life. And for the most part they know exactly what it is but are unwilling to step into obedience. So they just suffer through life...still saved....still going to church....still miserable...still stressed....but never going back to the problem. If we don't obey Gods grace is always there. But we can't use that as an excuse to never walk in obedience. I agree 100% that some scripture cannot be understood until we practice it. So go do something you know God has told you to do and see what happens!!!
