29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.
Hebrews 5:8-9
8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,
I don’t about you… but I think we’d better obey God! HE became our salvation. The least we could do is obey HIM as a way of thanking HIM for such a gift. Don’t you?
That’s my challenge to you for this new year. Trust & obey our Lord & Savior. And to act upon the obedience with action of faith.

Obeying comes as a response to listening. God give me the ears to hear so that I might walk in your ways. >>Happy Thursday to you.>>peace~elaine
