Today's Bible Reading: Genesis 25:27-28:5

The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt, but do as I tell you. Live here as a foreigner in this land, and I will be with you and bless you. I hereby confirm that I will give all these lands to you and your descendants, just as I solemnly promised Abraham, your father. I will cause your descendants to become as numerous as the stars of the sky, and I will give them all these lands. And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed. I will do this because Abraham listened to me and obeyed all my requirements, commands, decrees, and instructions.” -Genesis 26:2-5  NLT(emphasis mine)

I sit here this morning as I read this passage thinking about the importance of listening and obeying.  Believing that Jesus died in my place so that my sins are forgiven was just the beginning.   He is my Savior.  He is also my Lord.  Jesus Himself said, “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?" (Luke 6:26)  Which is why it is so important to read the Bible.  I have it from the source when I pick it up and read.  But I have to do more than just read it.  I have to listen closely to what God has said and then do it. And that makes all the difference. 
May grace abound,
