It Is The Doing Which Is Important.

Do it!

"Whatever HE says to you--
do it!" John 2:5

How can we know what JESUS says? 
We cannot hear HIS voice as the servants 
at the wedding heard it.

HE speaks now to us in HIS Word
and the reverent heart may always 
hear what HE says as the sacred 
pages are prayerfully pondered.

HE speaks in the conscience 
that is kept tender by loyal obeying.

HE speaks in the providence which 
brings the present duty to our hand.

There never is any real uncertainty 
as to what HE says, if we are truly 
intent on knowing HIS will.

"Whatever HE says to you--
do it!!" 

It is the doing which is important.
We should never ask questions 
nor make suggestions, when
JESUS has spoken--
the one thing for us is obedience.

We should never ask what
the consequences may be,
or what it may cost us--
we are simply to obey.

JESUS knows why HE
wants us to do the thing--
and that should be reason
enough for us.

"If you love ME, you will keep 
My commandments." John 14:15
