Obedience pays!

Isaiah 65:24 I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!


When we walk in obedience to God, and as long as we remain in Jesus, clothed in His righteousness, our prayers exude a pleasant aroma before God. He tends to take delight in us and in our prayers.



The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.


When God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, he obeyed. Abraham had attained righteousness through his faith and obedience to God. At this test, his step of faith and act of obedience pleased God, and before Abraham could even think of asking God, He provided an animal for the sacrifice.


When we are willing and able to lay down our own treasures in exchange for Godly treasure, we prompt God into swiftly providing our needs, even without our asking.


Let us walk in obedience to God. As we seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, all other things shall be added unto us....even before we ask for them.
