Humbly to Obey God

“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”(God’s quotes, unknown Author).

Sometimes what we ask doesn’t exactly what we got. Like the quote, we were made weak to learn humbly to obey. And the One that we’ve been obeying is Jesus Himself (we can see from the Bible that the men were amazed and asked even the winds and the waves obey Him.)
We need to humbly obeying Him, He’ll give us enough strength to move on in this life. (-fon-)

The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"
--- Matthew 8:27
