All the promises of God are in Christ Jesus, and in Him they are sure and firm to the glory of God. It is possible that as you have considered the life of obedience, there have been questions and difficulties to which you cannot at once give an answer. Do you feel overwhelmed? Can you reconcile it with all your former habits of thought and speech and action? Are you afraid you will not be able immediately to subject everything to this supreme, all-controlling principle of obedience to all the will of God? To all these questions there is but one answer, one deliverance from all your fears: Jesus Christ, our living Savior, who knows everything and asks you to trust Him for the wisdom and the power to walk in the obedience of faith. Will you not today take the opportunity of giving glory to God by trusting Jesus to lead you into the Promised Land? Look up to your glorified Lord in heaven, and in His strength renew with new meaning your vow of allegiance, your vow never to do anything knowingly or willingly to offend Him. Trust Him for the faith to make the vow, for the heart to keep it, for the strength to carry it out. Trust Him, the loving One, by His living presence to secure both your faith and your obedience. Trust Him, and venture to join in an act of consecration, in the assurance that He undertakes to be its Yea and Amen to the glory of God. Andrew Murray, A Life of Obedience
