| | | Major step of Obedience
I took what was for me a major step of obedience. I love to watch movies/videos. I had been collecting a number of them for a long time from these illegal websites and justifying it to myself. For awhile now I have felt God's Spirit gently suggesting I get rid of these, so today I deleted them all.
I don't want to seem like I am bargaining with God, but I have been away from my family for 3 years because of work situations. I have been praying for a job where I could live again with my family. I don't know if this step of obedience was what he was waiting for, and I don't feel I should think that way.
God was convicting me and finally I obeyed and now no turning back.
All Praise, Honor and Glory to Him!
You thoughts and comments welcome.

May the Lord bless your obedience.  Quote:
1 Samuel 15:22
22And Samuel said,
"Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
as in obeying the voice of the LORD?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
and to listen than the fat of rams.
