King Jehoshaphat: The Battle We Did Not Fight

My name is Neriah, a scribe in the court of King Jehoshaphat.

I have stood in these halls long enough to know the difference

between a rumor…
and a warning.

This was no rumor.

Sanctified Steps: Saying Yes to God John 14:15 (KJV)

 

Saying Yes to God| John 14:25

📖 Scripture:

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” — John 14:15 (KJV)

Devotional:

Obedience
is a simple word—

but not always
a simple choice.

It asks you to trust
when you don’t understand…
to follow
when you don’t see the outcome.

Jesus didn’t complicate it—

If you love Me…
obey Me.

Not out of fear.
Not out of pressure.

But from the heart.

Because true love
responds.

There will be moments
when obedience feels uncomfortable—

when God’s way
pulls you away
from what you want.

But every “yes” to God
moves you closer
to His will.

You may not see
where it leads—

but you can trust
who is leading you.

Reflection:

• Where is God calling you to obey right now?
• What is holding you back from saying yes?

Daily Wisdom Insight:

Obedience is a quiet “yes”
that leads to greater purpose.

Practical Application:

Today,
choose one area
where you will obey God—
even if it’s small.

Take the step.

Trust Him with the rest.

Prayer:

Father,

Help me to obey You
with a willing heart.

Even when I don’t understand,
give me the faith
to say yes.

Let my obedience
be rooted in love.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
