Remember back in the day when your parents asked you to do something and you didn’t.
What happened?
If you had good parents you got chastised for being disobedient, maybe even a whooping.
As we get older things change just a little bit. Although our parents are no longer telling us what to do, God is.
God constantly gives us directions, whether we chose to follow is on us. However just like when we were kids not following our parents instructions had consequences. Trust me, if you think beatings from your parents hurt, try a whooping from God. It’s not physical, but if you’ve ever experienced it you’d much rather go pick your own switch. (Country people know what I’m talking about)
Don’t be that person, obey God.
I’m sure I’m not the only person God tells to do certain things. I was Ronnie’s only child, but I know I share God with everyone else. We’re all sisters and brothers.
As your sister I say, “You better do what our Father says. You don’t want a whooping do you?”

Picking out your own switch was the worst back in the day, but just like those days if we are disobedient we have to deal with the consequences. That’s why we have to pay attention to what God says and follow his direction.
