Obedience School

I recently read Marley and Me, and then for added dog-loving torture immediately rented the movie to watch. Both were full of hilarious stories about an energetic yellow lab and his family. Crazy Marley was exuberant and loyal, but definitely had a hard time following his master. He even got kicked out of obedience school!

Sometimes we can be a little like Marley, getting ourselves into trouble because we don’t obey our own Master. In our new elementary series “Up” we’ll explore the story of Noah as he obeys God despite impossible circumstances and challenges. How did Noah have the strength to follow God under such trials? He relied on his Master.

“I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven, and earth, and the mountains.” Psalm 121:1-2

If obeying God sometimes proves difficult, Marley style, look up to God for the strength to follow what He asks.
