people do not understand spiritual things. This means we could face false accusations, mocking, and critics
because of our desire to please God. In the book of Matthew the 5th chapter, Jesus says that blessed are those who face tribulations because of their desire to please God. Jesus Christ was an example of the things we can face when we become obedient. The bible speaks about all the sufferings Jesus faced due to his obedience. However, every time we decide to obey God He will be with us providing the strength we need to handle the situation, or He will remove the situation. Jesus said christian life is not be an easier journey, but
He promised to be with us all the time. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer;I have overcome the world.
(John 16:33 kjv) Jesus was not the only example of obedience in the bible. All those obedient always had to face difficult situations, but God was also there acting in behalf of them. Among them, we find Noah, Elijah, Joshua, Daniel and others. If we live in obedience in spite of any circumstance, God is going to use us to show His glory. Obedience gives God the opportunity to manifest His glory through our lives. Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. (Proverbs 20:22)
