"Be good to Your servant, that I may live and obey Your word. Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in Your instructions." Psalm 119:17-18

I love that God gives us the opportunity to directly commune with Him. It is such an amazing concept. I can't wrap my brain around it, but then again, I don't think I ever want to be able to. But with that amazing blessing comes amazing responsibility. We are to obey what is revealed to us by God in prayer and heed His instruction. It sounds so simple, but God clearly knew that it wouldn't be. He is not a parent to be consulted about Your decision. You and I are the children who are to listen to Him as the only opinion that matters, no matter what  anybody else says.

"I hold you by your right hand--I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, 'Don't be afraid. I am here to help you.'" Isaiah 41:13

"Don't sin by letting anger control you. Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry." Ephesians 4:26

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." Romans 12:2

Last year, the church I attend did a bible study through the book of Romans. I would recommend going to www.harvest.org/women and checking out the Women's Bible Fellowship link on the left side. It was a great encouragement to me throughout the year and also helped to convict me of some serious sin issues in my life. Romans 12:2 was one of those verses.

"Teach the older women to live in a way that honors God... They should teach others what is good." Titus 2:3
