Choosing God Even When It Makes No Sense
There’s an amount of inexplicable weight to obedience when everything in you wants to say no, but you must say yes. This is what it means to be intentional about obedience, it’s a posture of trust.
It is the decision to align your will with God’s, not just when it feels good or makes sense, but especially when it costs you something personal, like your comfort, pride, plans, or timeline.
Most of us find it easy to obey when we agree with the instruction. But what happens when the instruction feels like loss? When saying yes to God means saying no to a relationship, to revenge, to self-gratification, or even to the dreams we’ve nurtured for years?
That’s where the real depth of obedience is revealed, not in grand gestures but in the daily, deliberate decisions to choose God’s way over our own.
Now, the most difficult aspect of obedience isn’t even the sacrifice itself, but the silence that often follows. There’s no immediate reward. No pat on the back. Sometimes, there’s even misunderstanding, isolation, or heartbreak.
But even then, intentional obedience is the reminder that our faith isn’t built on feelings but on a deep-rooted conviction that God’s ways are higher even when they’re harder. It is holding unto the belief that delayed answers don’t mean denied presence.
In God’s economy, surrender isn’t weakness, it’s access. Access to peace that passes understanding. Access to wisdom that guides beyond logic. Access to a deeper intimacy that can’t be rushed.
Obedience is how we stay aligned with the One who sees what we cannot, who knows the outcome before we even understand the instruction.
The beauty of intentional obedience is that it reshapes the heart. Over time, it cultivates humility, sharpens discernment, and anchors identity. It doesn’t just change circumstances; it changes us.
Slowly, we stop obeying just out of obligation and start obeying out of love because we’ve come to know the One we follow. And the more we obey, the more we learn to trust. And the more we trust, the less we panic in uncertainty.
Sometimes obedience will look like walking away from what looks good. Other times, it will mean staying when everything in you wants to leave. It may call you to forgive, serve, wait, speak up, or stay quiet.
The context changes, but the heart posture remains: “Not my will, but Yours.” And in that, we find purpose that’s bigger than our plans. We begin to walk not by sight, but by the certainty of the One who leads us
