I am not gonna lie… I have the hardest time obeying God.
As soon as He tells or nudges me to do something my automatic response is… no. It's because I worried of what people will think or i don't feel confident enough to do what he asks. Which now sounds so silly to me now.
A couple of days ago I decided that I am going to "choose in" on what God wants me to do next. So one night the whole squad was having a worship night. Very chill just spending time praising God and spending time with Him. In the middle of worship I started to get very hot, sweaty and my heart started to pound. I was confused with what was going on. Then God told me to wash my squad leader Alexandra's feet. At first I was like no way! people are going to be watching and this is suppose to be my time with God.
But God kept nudging me saying, this is what she needs. Wash her feet. So finally after arguing with God for a few minutes… i remembered that i "chose in". So I finally walked over to my stuff and grab my baby wipes and immediately walking straight to Alexandra without looking at anyone but her feet. Spending the next 5 min washing her feet, seeing her and myself tear up I realized that i needed this just as much as she did. She needed to know that even though she was willing to get her feet dirty they were meant to be clean, my whole squad and my self were willing to go to the lowest to serve her, show her we trust her, and that we are willing to follow her. And I needed to know that by washing Alexandra's feet God was showing me that I was serving Him and Alexandra at the same time. I was serving Him by obeying Him.
Obeying God makes Him smile! It shows Him that we love Him and willing to listen and serve Him.
