Soldier's Orders: Blind Obedience

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out... not knowing where he was going.

Hebrews 11:8 (ESV)

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)

  • By faith, Noah obeyed and built an ark... though it seemed “mad” with no water in sight. 

  • By faith, young Isaac obeyed his father... and laid down willingly on the altar.

  • By faith, Moses obeyed an unseen God… and led His people to the Promised Land.

  • By faith, Joshua obeyed and stepped up… to fight armies much greater than his own.

  • By faith, young David obeyed a calling… to face a fierce giant called Goliath.

  • By faith, Jesus obeyed and submitted… to torture and crucifixion FOR US.

  • By faith, His disciples obeyed their Lord… to give their lives for His Great Commission.

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

Blind obedience isn’t an easy thing. On the other hand, it IS a thrilling opportunity! The call to follow an unseen Leader to an unknown place is illogical– but unquestionably, a soldier's walk.

Therefore,

Refuse to follow the nearsighted pull of a preplanned life with visible steps. Instead, follow the farsighted Orders of your Captain… Who can see EVERYTHING…

Even to the land of entertainment. Even to the stages of media. Even when it doesn't seem logical.

Because with God, “logic” is foolishness. Because with God, all things are possible. 

Because for Jesus, your obedience is proved by blind faith. 'If you love Me, keep My Commandments' (John 14:15).

Soldier's Orders: Blind Obedience (Part 9)

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
