This week, we will share the legacy we leave behind. 

We all have a legacy to leave. Worship with Momma Loves Me by Need To Breathe, feat. The Red Clay Strays. Some of the lyrics sing, “We all get hurt, and we all bleed. But the time has come to reckon with the wounds that buried me. My best days are not enough, I remember all the times you loved me just the way I was.”

We can take joy in this journey of life knowing heaven is cheering us on. Join us in worship with We are Almost Home by Mercy Me.

Some words that come to mind when referring to spiritual obedience are stillness, prayer, listening, submission, humility, faith, and action. Today, we will discuss stillness and listening.

What is the greatest form of obedience?

Jesus replied in Matthew 22:37‬ ‭NIV‬ — Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

What is the second greatest form of obedience?

Jesus replied in Matt‬hew ‭22:39‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Love your neighbor as yourself.

Stillness and listening come by, loving God and ourselves enough to take the time to be still in His presence and hear His word. What words, scriptures, or songs come to mind when you think of obedience, stillness, and listening? 

On this Savor Saturday, let’s get back to the simplicity of God’s commands by loving our neighbors as we love ourselves. What is a recipe that you share with your neighbors?

Joshua ‭6‬:‭3‬-‭4‬‭ NIV — March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets.

Some words that come to mind when referring to spiritual obedience are stillness, prayer, listening, submission, humility, faith, and action. Today, we will discuss action and long obedience in the same direction. Joshua is a perfect example, marching around Jericho for seven days. On this Finish Friday let’s keep going. As Walt Disney said, “We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths”. 

We may not always feel like God is near or that the path we are on has purpose. God will bless our obedience. In God’s perfect timing, the walls will come down or he will open another door. In this song, Do It Again by Elevation Worship, some of the lyrics sing: “I’m still in your hands, this is my confidence. You’ve never failed me yet.” 

Will you stay the course of long obedience? You are in God’s hands. Keep going! What words, scriptures, or songs come to mind when you think of obedience and action?

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for always doing it again, You have never failed me. I’m still in Your hands. Equip me for long obedience. In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
Bonus: If you have not read the story of Jericho, I encourage you to read the entire chapter, ‭‭Joshua‬ 6 NIV @biblegateway @youversion

‭‭Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭37‬-‭38‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.

Some words that come to mind when referring to spiritual obedience are stillness, prayer, listening, submission, humility, faith, and action. Today, we will discuss submission. In today’s reading, let’s look at submissive obedience. This was an expensive jar of perfume. She took something that was valuable to her to worship Jesus. We can visualize her weeping at Jesus’ feet. Have you ever been moved so much during worship that it brought you to tears? This may occur when our hearts are submissive in worship. 

Good news, Jesus doesn’t need us to pour perfume out for Him today, but He does want our submissive hearts. He wants to see our obedience through worship. What words, scriptures, or songs come to mind when you think of obedience and submission?

I encourage you to listen and worship to, Let The Alabaster Break by Lizzie Morgan. Let’s pray.

Dear God, thank You for the ability to worship You. I lay at Your feet today in complete surrender. I love You and praise You! In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — pray continually.

Some words that come to mind when referring to spiritual obedience are stillness, prayer, listening, submission, humility, faith, and action. Today, we will discuss prayer and humility. My word of the year for 2025 is Humble. In order to be humble, I must continually seek God through prayer. Some days I may not feel worthy but through God’s mercy and grace, I can approach His throne with confidence.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Tara-Leigh Cobble with The Bible Recap has said, “true humility is confident humility — the confidence comes from looking to God as our source, and the humility comes from seeing ourselves in light of who God is. Confident humility is when you’re not building yourself up or beating yourself up.”

To be obedient to God and His perfect will, we must always do it with humility. What words, scriptures, or songs come to mind when you think of obedience, prayer, and humility. Take time today to meditate on those things.

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You that I can approach You in prayer with humble confidence. I submit to Your will and desire to walk in obedience. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.”

Some words that come to mind when referring to spiritual obedience are stillness, prayer, listening, submission, humility, faith, and action. Today, we will discuss faith. Until recently I had never compared Luke and Matthew’s account of the mustard seed. In Luke, the disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith, while in Matthew the amount of their faith. 

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭17‬:‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Jesus replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.””

It is encouraging that nothing is impossible with God and that we only need tiny faith to see God move. I encourage you to listen to, Faith of a Mustard Seed with WorshipMob by Colton and Claudia May.

What words, scriptures, or songs come to mind when you think of obedience and faith? Take time today to meditate on those things.

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for the faith of a mustard seed. I summit to Your will today and seek to walk in obedience. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
