*1 John 5:2-3*

_[2]By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments._

_[3]For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome._

*Willing and Able*

What are you doing today that is preparing you for the future God has for you and the future you are hoping for? By gratefully taking care of the small things God has placed in you life, like making your bed and watering your plants, you are showing him that you are a good shepherd of what he gives you. By obeying in all things, even the mundane, you are showing God that you are willing and able to obey whatever he asks of you.

Obedience to God is not only a way to worship him, but a way to get closer to him, prepare for whatever he leads you to and grow as a person. As Christians, we know we are not saved by our works but that our faith without works is dead (James 2:26). Obeying God should not be a burden but rather a joy, a way of worshipping him and growing in your faith,Amen.
