The Sowing Series: Obedience

Beloved Sons of God:

Our next seed we can sow is obedience.  Obedience reaps rest.  Sounds weird huh?  No not really.  Jesus tells us to come unto Him all the labor and are heavy laden and He will give you rest.  Take His yoke upon you and learn of Him for His yoke is easy and His burden is light and there you will find rest for your souls.  Notice in the paraphrased Scripture the key part is taking the yoke that is on Jesus and placing it on us and learn of Him.  Who?  Christ, the Son of the Living God. He then says when you learn of Him you will find rest (Sabbath) for your souls.  The placing of the yoke is to come under the command and rule of Christ.  To come under His rule (learning of Him) one must be obedient.  When we are obedient to the Spirit, our souls will find rest.  So we can say that our souls can be tormented when we are disobedient and seek our own will and way.  Understand that being obedient to the Father will make you contrary to society's norm and the ways of the world.  Let me close with this powerful statement from Christ:  If you love me, then obey my commandments.  When we obey the commandments of God we cease from our ways and find rest in the ways of the Father.
