Because sometimes the narrow path comes with bruises, not applause.
We love to talk about obedience when it feels good.
When it gets us a breakthrough. When it aligns with our desires.
But what about when obedience hurts?
What about when walking in truth costs you relationships?
When it gets you unfollowed, misunderstood, or falsely accused?
When obeying Yahuah means you have to stand alone with no crowd, no applause, and no comfort?
Let’s be honest:
Sometimes obedience makes you look like the fool to the world…
but a friend of Yahuah in heaven.
“He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.”
Mattithyahu (Matthew) 10:37
Yahusha didn’t just teach with words. He lived the pain of obedience.
He was rejected, hated, falsely charged, mocked and He obeyed anyway.
Some of us are being called to lay down comfort, approval, and reputation
not because we’re doing something wrong,
but because we finally started doing what’s right.
So tonight, I’m asking you…
👉🏾 Can you obey when it’s lonely?
👉🏾 Can you obey when it doesn’t benefit you in the moment?
👉🏾 Can you obey when there’s no earthly reward?
Here’s the truth most don’t want to say:
💧 Obedience may cost you,
but disobedience will destroy you.
Yahuah is not interested in sacrifices.
He’s not looking for performance.
He’s looking for hearts that obey even when it hurts.
“To obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.”
— 1 Samuel 15:22
You may cry.
You may wrestle.
You may even lose people.
But if you obey Yahuah with a clean heart and pure motive,
He will reward you in a way the world can’t replicate.
So tonight, before you lay your head down…
Ask yourself:
“Am I obeying Yah, or am I negotiating with Him?”
Because in this hour, He’s not looking for the convenient.
He’s looking for the faithful.
