I’m talking about the other things, the clear nudgings, the loud messages that come to me from God.  In all manner of ways. Why do I not obey?  What is obedience?  Submission, “the action of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person”.  Will or authority of God.  Accepting that His wisdom for me is sufficient, His provision for action is sufficient?  That His grace is sufficient? Trusting God?  Easy words to say.  But how to action them?  Consciously and consistently?
