Obedience Reveals

                                            Matthew 11:29
                     "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me"

          In spiritual relationship we do not grow step by step;  we are either there or not.  God does not cleanse us more and more from sin, but when we are in the light, walking in the light, we are cleansed from all sin.  It is a question of obedience, and instantly the relationship is perfected.  Turn away for one second out of obedience, and darkness and death are at work at once.  All God's revelations are sealed until they are opened to us by obedience.
          Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it.  The only way you can get to know is to stop trying to find out and by being born again. Obey God in the thing He shows you, and instantly the next thing is opened up.  We read volume after volume of books about the work of the Holy Spirit, when five minutes of drastic obedience would make things as clear as a sunbeam.  "I suppose I shall understand these things someday!"  You can understand them now.  It is not study that does it, but obedience.  The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away.
