💭 Reflect
Obeying God can feel like an impossible task sometimes. It’s like the Bible has an impossible standard that we just cannot reach. The enemy enters our thoughts and says things like: “You are not good enough. You failed. You cannot do it.” But the good news of the Gospel is that that is not true. Because of Jesus, it IS possible for you to obey God and live close to Him.
📖 Proverbs 3:35
“The wise inherit honor, but fools are put to shame!”

Pick up four sticks outside that represent the cross. Write, paint, or carve a letter on each one: O-B-E-Y. Place them in your windowsill as a reminder that Jesus enables you to obey God.
