I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands. —Psalm 119:60.
Obedience is faith put into practice. Without actions and good deeds, Jesus’ brother James reminds us that our faith is not genuine — it is false faith (James 2:14, 17, 26). So, without arguing or procrastinating, let’s quickly obey—let’s “hasten and not delay to obey”—even when we don’t fully understand why. We’ve seen God’s love demonstrated to us in Jesus, so we should obey because we know he loves us. Most of us have also seen the blessings that flow from obeying him. So, let’s “hasten and not delay to obey” God’s commands!
