“If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.” (John 13:17, NKJV)
“Be determined to know more than others …
When you know that you should do something and you do it, immediately you know more. Examine where you have become sluggish, where you began losing interest spiritually, and you will find that it goes back to a point where you did not do something you knew you should do … It’s a dangerous thing to refuse to continue learning and knowing more.
“Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice …” (1 Samuel 15:22). Beware of paying attention or going back to what you once were, when God wants you to be something that you have never been.
(Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest, June 8)

Oh, that turning away from the known good has far reaching consequences. Leave it to Oswald to sock it to me on an early Sunday morning. Truly, there is no inconsequential sin.
What a needful quote this morning!
Always a good reminder to stay focused upon God’s wants and desires rather than our own
Yes, may we act on the things God has shown us in his word. We need to obey.
