Obedience and humility

While reading Blackaby's day-by-day devotional entry today I was thinking about the man who prepared the room for the Last Supper.  He had to have been obedient and humble to God's word to prepare a room for something he had no idea about.  If we are obedient enough just to quietly follow/obey God's instructions, how might God use us. If we were obedient enough for Him to use us to quietly prepare the way for other people's Christian lives; what a privilege and responsibility that would be. What a trusting, obedient, self-sacrificing relationship that man must have had with God.  What an example for us.

He is our Father and He truly loves us. Never forget, He made us for the purpose of having a relationship with Him.
