No Commandment Is Too Small or Too Great to Obey

John  14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Sometimes we may think a commandment is not very important. The scriptures tell of a man named Naaman who thought that way. Naaman had a dreadful disease and traveled from Syria to Israel to ask the prophet Elisha to heal him. Naaman was an important man in his own country, so he was offended when Elisha did not greet him in person but sent his servant instead. Naaman was even more offended when he received Elisha’s message: wash seven times in the river Jordan. “Are not [the] rivers of Damascus better than all the waters of Israel?

Sometimes we may think a commandment is too difficult for us to obey. we may say, “It is a hard thing God requires of us.” *Yet,  we can be sure that God will give us no commandment unless He prepares a way for us to obey Him*.

It was a “hard thing” when the Lord commanded Abraham to offer his beloved son Isaac as a sacrifice (see Genesis 22:1–13 ; see also chapter 26 in this book). Abraham had waited many years for the birth of Isaac, the son God had promised him. How could he lose his son in such a way? *This commandment must have been exceedingly difficult for Abraham. Yet he chose to obey God*.

When have you received blessings as a result of your obedience to commandments that seemed small?

You can't claim  you love God and yet finds it difficult to obey His commandments. 

*How much you love and fear God,  is directly promotional to  how much you obey His words and commandments*

May God give you the grace to obey His commandments.
