Doing what I already know to do

Obedience is better than sacrifice comes from the book of Samuel. 1 Samuel 15:22   DO we really need to learn anything new if we cannot do some of the things we already know. I know the Bible tells us to forsake not the assembling together. In more modern language, go to church, find a house of worship you feel comfortable in. That's a starting point. I believe in praying about where to attend and trusting God. It has worked for me. Just take one simple word from God and apply it to your life. I have been doing this one for some 30 years now, and have learned some good things. Obey what you already know. Need to pray, practice and greet God every morning as you face a new day. Direct my steps this day O God and create a clean heart within me. Look at the commandments, struggle with any? One Pastor called them the 10 most common struggles. I once read Psalms 1 every day for a long time. I believe God talked to me in a sermon I heard on Psalms 1 on a Sunday morning and I read that Psalm day after day. We are not perfect beings, the truth is we struggle with the ten commandments and need a heart change to keep them. They need to be written on our hearts. Jesus does that, changes our hearts and lives. Just take one step towards God. If you hear him talking to you don't ignore him, listen to what he is trying to tell you.  Your life will be better. I've seen people walk away before. I have also seen and heard a lot of people tell their story and in spite of struggles and hardships along the way, have no regrets. Do you hear an alcoholic with regrets, do you hear a drug addict with regrets, do you hear of a man or woman that lost their family because of bad behavior with regrets. Have you ever heard them after they turned their life over to God and wished they had done it sooner. I have over and over again, from all types of sinners from the worst to the goody two shoes. There is only one way to the Father, No man cometh to the father but by me Jesus said.  God bless, LVZ.
