Isaiah 48:18 (English Standard Version)
18 "Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;"
God's commands lead to a river type of life. Obedience allows us to flow and be active and be refreshed. A river moves, constantly flushing the impurities and making room for fresh water. Your righteousness will keep beating the shores of life...over and over again. Only God can stop the waves.
The more we obey God's commands the bigger the river...the mightier the wave. If we are seeing little flow or little waves in our lives then we need to ask...is there somewhere or something in our lives that we need to repent of?
God has called us to an intentional life of impact. The BEST way to live that kind of life is to flow with God's Spirit. Now how much impact we are allowed to make seems to be directly linked with how much we obey God's commands. How much we obey God's commands is directly linked with how much we believe God is worth obeying.
What do you believe about God today?
Is He worth obeying?
