Obedience

Obedience

David Rim

As we continue the New Year in a blaze. That extra boost of energy and vibes. That New Years kiss, hug and rememberance. We start the New Year on a clean slate. Yet, we do not renew ourselves daily.

2026 begins. I have been asking God for someone who would be patient, pretty and importantly prayed. Yet, each day I grew weary of life. Knowing well deep inside what I just signed up for. Just like in Job I prayed through every season good, bad and ugly. But do you see any of it? No, but I understand someone out there has been secretly praying on my behalf. Which I am grateful for and wanting someone who prays increased in me a prayerful spirit.

I am no better then any other individual. The only difference is the grit, persistence, dedication, practice and desire to learn/grow. All I can do is focus on my inner response through the seasons. We all fall short of the glory of God. Sin is a biatch... It never leaves. As the school teacher patiently guides and lights up the kids worlds. I am called to remember those moments. Where I disregarded the gentle advice, suggestion or other words of wisdom. Whether I want to or not need to be a source of patience guiding the next generations. If you aren't heeding my warnings then I hope you grow after the seeds been planted.

I would love to have a pretty individual. Visuals are a must! I am being sarcastic. Yet, through the years this spirit of mine just knows things that are not explainable. I have to carry the word with me. In all seasons the fruit of the spirit should be nourished. The way I am reflects the inner battle of good vs evil. No matter what words they say the actions speak louder. Those who fight against me in words are not my team. Yet, those who celebrate with me through the journey as to be cherished...

God loves me. So I am called to love. I am just a little Shepard boy that plays music. Yet, God wants me to obey and be courageous. Even while staring at the giant eye to eye. Gods desire is greater than what I can ever strategize for myself.
