Summary
As we focus this week on growing in trusting God, today we’ll explore the concept of obedience. Trust and obedience are directly related. Willing, joyful obedience comes from a place of deep-rooted trust in the character and intentions of your God. When we learn to trust the heart of the Father, obedience is a natural response to whatever he asks. May you grow today in your willingness and excitement to quickly obey the Lord as you learn of his love and goodness..
Our Scripture for today comes from Isaiah 1:19, and today's worship is I Have Decided by Forerunner Music feat. Jaye Thomas.

Faith doesn’t happen on its own. It’s a byproduct of time spent experiencing the faithfulness of our God. It’s a gift given to us by the Giver of good gifts, himself.
It was a supernatural faith that allowed Paul to sing even while in chains. It was supernatural faith that allowed Peter to proclaim the gospel, even unto death. And it’s supernatural faith that will carry you to and through the greatest gospel opportunities in front of you.
We pray our printed devotionals, Faith and Trust, help people like you experience the life changing reality that faith and trust have on your everyday life.
With Faith you’ll:
- Discover a Biblical framework for living faithfully
- Study powerful moments of God’s faithfulness in scripture
- Tear down personal strongholds in your life where you struggle with faith
- Develop a lifestyle of faith, that weathers the storms of life
And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God.
Everything changes when we learn to trust and become filled with faith in our good, good God. Get your copy at supportfirst15.org!

| 0:57.0 | Scripture says, if you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. |
| 1:04.0 | Throughout our lives we are commanded to obey. |
| 1:09.0 | Whether it's apparent telling us pick that up or don't do that, |
| 1:11.9 | or a government laying down a law, we acknowledge obedience as a necessary part of life. |
| 1:18.7 | And so often, because we grow up with some sense of the purpose of obedience, we apply our |
| 1:24.4 | worldly notions of obedience to our relationship with God. |
| 1:28.3 | We see the commands of Scripture or feel a prompting from the Spirit and sense a similar tone of command. |
| 1:36.3 | But the problem with carrying a worldly notion of obedience into our relationship with God is that no one, no matter how loving, can |

| 2:10.6 | God asks for us to be obedient to Him because his plan is always for our betterment. He sees what lies ahead of us. He knows the potential |
| 2:21.0 | perils or fruits of our actions. And like a good shepherd, he longs to guide us into an incredibly |
| 2:27.9 | abundant life, filled with all the goodness of his kingdom. If we are ever going to experience the wealth of glorious inheritance that God has for us, |
