Deferred Obedience

 Deferred obedience is a relationship killer. When we put off doing something we promised to do for a friend or loved one, it undermines trust and damages the relationship. The same is true in our friendship with God. For forty years(!) Moses put off having his family marked with the covenant of circumcision. This deferred obedience created a barrier that made Moses’ relationship with God timid and half-hearted. But God intervened in Moses’ life through his wife Zipporah to bring Moses to obedience (Exodus 4:24-26). Once that happened, God’s story through Moses really gets moving! If you missed yesterday’s message, you can listen to it here.

 

Have you been putting off something in your relationship with God? A sin that needs to be confessed? A relationship that needs mending? Help you need to ask for? Don’t put it off another day. Step out in faith and watch God move!
