"Risk Taking Obedience"
Five-doves - it can be a challenge to follow God's will for our
lives. But as this short devo says- risk-taking obedience to
God's calling on our lives will be an adventure you will not
want to miss out on. It has eternal benefits that are just out
of this world !!! Blessings

Risk-Taking Obedience
We ought to obey God rather than men.
Acts 5:29, NKJV
At the wedding in Cana, Jesus issued a command to the servants
that seemed to have nothing to do with the shortage of wine:
“Fill the jars with water” (John 2:7, NIV). The servants must
have stolen furtive looks at each other, but without question,
resistance, or argument, “they filled them to the brim” (John
2:7, NIV).
Why did the servants obey? What made them risk their reputations
and their jobs and carry out His instructions? Surely it wasn’t
just because Mary told them to do whatever He said. It must have
been something about Jesus Himself that thrust them out on the
limb of risk-taking obedience.
Was it His clear, firm gaze of authority?
Was it the quiet confidence of His demeanor?
Was it the unwavering strength of His tone of voice?
Whatever the reason was, they obeyed and experienced the thrill
of seeing the water they poured into the jars, pour out as wine!
