"His mother said to the servants, 'Whatever He says to you, do it.'" ~ John 2:5
Humans are complicated beings. And as a result, we tend to complicate everything, often leading to confusion, stress, frustration, and ultimately stagnation.
But as complicated as we tend to make things, life really comes down to John 2:5: "whatever He says to you, do it."
That's why the Bible tells us that obedience is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22). God wants to know that He can speak and trust you to follow through.
It's also why the Bible tells us not to lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). He knows that sometimes you will have to disobey your own logic to walk in obedience with Him (Isaiah 55:8-9).
In all, life really is this simple: "do whatever He tells you."
God bless,
J.W.
