Once having the vision [of a God-intoxicated life], the second step to holy obedience is this: Begin where you are. Obey now. Use what little obedience you are capable of, even if it be like a grain of mustard seed.
Live this present moment…as you now sit in your seats, in utter submission and openness toward Him. Listen outwardly to these words, but within…the deeper levels of your lives where you are all alone with God…keep up a silent prayer, “Open thou my life. Guide my thoughts where I dare not let them go. But Thou darest. Thy will be done.”
Walk on the streets and chat with your friends, but every moment behind the scenes be in prayer, offering yourselves in continuous obedience.
