We can trust God to direct our lives when we seek to obey Him and His word. God created us and He knows what is best for us. He knows the end from the beginning and when we choose to obey His leading, we can be assured that He will take us to His divine destination.
We cannot say we love God and are not willing to represent Him or lead others in obeying Him. When we obey God and model Christian behavior, others will be drawn to us and will want to learn more about Christ.
Here is a Bible verse on our obedience to God; Acts 5:32 says “And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
