Do you believe that God is leading you into a place of victory and triumph, not into a place of defeat? Your answer as a child of God and believer in Jesus Christ should be yes!
It would make sense, then, that if we believers would listen to everything the Lord tells us and obey Him, we would not get into that state of defeat, would we?
It's All About The Little Things
However, when many Christians hear the word "obedience," they immediately think the Lord will ask them to give away a huge sum of money, move to Africa to go on the mission field, or do something else really big they don't want to do!
They don't realize that obeying the Lord usually involves some minor thing that will make a major difference. Obeying Him in the little things makes a major difference in keeping stress out of our life.
Simply obeying the promptings of the Holy Spirit will often relieve stress quickly, while ignoring the promptings of the Holy Spirit will more than likely cause stress and cause it to increase equally quickly!
