Humble obedience is something God wants from as,
BUT The words "humble obey" do not brings up happy in me.
- Stubbornly resisting God’s guidance has been an unfortunate track record I’ve developed over the years. I’ve had my life charted out (literally) since I was twelve years old, and it’s easy for me to think my way is best.
- And yet, when I’ve tried to “go my own way,” I’ve struggled to find some of the things I deeply desire – vision, a purpose for my life, forgiveness, and lasting peace. I’ve learned that God wants me to humbly obey him because when I live his way and walk intimately with him, he brings the very things I desire into my life.
- I think God has a sense of humor and is innovative in his effort to convince me that humility is my best option. His latest effort to persuade me is having me write this article alongside a long-time friend and partner-in-crime in resisting God.
- Join us as we share our struggle to choose to humble ourselves enough to trust and obey God. In this article, we’ll be discussing three ways humility helps your life.

The Bible teaches us that God has a plan for each one of us. Unfortunately, it’s hard for me to trust and follow God’s plan because I grew up always having a plan of my own.
My mom even started calling me “Ms. 21” when I was about 11 because I was like a little adult. When people would come to my house, I would steal their cigarettes. Then when they realized it was me, I’d boldly or foolishly scold them for smoking.
By age 12, I had a triangle chart that planned out my life from some theory they taught us in school, and I was on track. But when I studied the Bible at 19, I decided to throw out my triangle chart which I had developed in my fear and desire to control my life in order to relieve the constant anxiety I felt.
