God is waiting on our Obedience.. but he has so much to show us..

I am sharing some of my Oswald Chambers daily devotion with you today.  It is one of those Aha moments...  sometimes...we sit and we ponder things forever, and we wonder when is God going to reveal, this or that to us,  well please read ahead, this is written in the late 1800, it amazes me... how God is so good and how he has a NOW word everyday for us...  Basically we will remain stuck if we do not move out in obedience in what God has already shown us.  This is my is the short of what I got from reading this... 

You are either in the light or not in obedience or disobedience... In rebellion or in submission in belief or unbelief there is not time to think about it. All God’s revelations are sealed until they are opened to us by obedience. . You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. 

"All God’s revelations are sealed until they are opened to us by obedience. You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God’s truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. The only way you can get to know is to stop trying to find out and by being born again. Obey God in the thing He shows you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. One reads tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit, when one five minutes of drastic obedience would make things as clear as a sunbeam. "I suppose I shall understand these things some day!" You can understand them now. It is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself until you have obeyed what you know already. Beware of becoming "wise and prudent."  Oswald Chambers
