My friend Mike S. said to me one time and I quote as best as I can remember. " I have this burning desire to want to obey God better and more". I didn't really understand what he meant at the time. In Psalms 51 in verses 10-13 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2051:10-13&version=NLV it says create in me a clean heart, do not take your holy spirit from me and teach me to want to obey your ways. That's not the robotic, obeying without thought or free will . It says teach me to want to obey your ways. My pastor said to us this morning that " The key is our dependence (on God) that is key to our independence".
It not a head knowledge thing , it is a heart thing. As I travel this journey of being a so called christian I am realizing that Gods way is usually the opposite of how I think it should be done. And the further down the road I get experience and history shows that Gods way works out better.
"Teach me to want to obey your ways" And I know he has, does and will answer my prayers.
