“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4).
The obedient soul does not depend on circumstances to be secure — it depends on the Lord. When everything around seems uncertain, it remains steadfast because it has turned every situation, good or bad, into an opportunity to throw itself into the arms of God. Faith, trust, and surrender are not just concepts for this soul; they are daily attitudes. And this is what brings true stability: living to please God, no matter the cost. When this surrender is real, there is no crisis capable of shaking the heart that rests in the will of the Father.
This soul, dedicated and focused, does not waste time with distractions or excuses. It lives with the clear purpose of belonging entirely to the Creator. And for this reason, everything works together for its good. Light leads it to praise; darkness leads it to trust. Suffering does not paralyze; it propels. Joy does not deceive; it leads to gratitude. Why? Because it has already understood that everything — absolutely everything — can be used by God to draw it closer to Him, as long as it continues to obey His powerful Law.
If closeness to the Creator is what you desire, then the answer is before you: obey. Not tomorrow. Not when everything is easier. Obey now. The more faithful you are to the Lord’s commandments, the more peace, protection, and guidance you will experience. That is what the Law of God does — it heals, it guards, it leads to salvation. There is no reason to delay. Start today and experience the fruit of obedience: deliverance, blessing, and eternal life in Christ Jesus. -Adapted from William Law. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Father, I thank You because the security of my soul does not depend on what happens around me, but on my obedience to Your will. You are my refuge in times of light and my sustenance in times of darkness. Teach me to turn every moment of my life into a new opportunity to throw myself into Your hands with faith and trust.
Lord, I desire to belong to You completely. May nothing in this world distract me from Your presence, and may my faithfulness to Your Law be constant, even on difficult days. Give me a resolute heart, that sees in Your commandments the safest path. May I not postpone this surrender any longer. May I choose to obey with joy and firmness.
Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You for being the anchor of faithful souls. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like an unshakable wall that protects the heart that obeys You. Your commandments are rivers of peace that flow toward eternal life. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
