Counting the Cost

There is a cost to following God's voice over the world's, but it's more than worth it.

Dear friends,

I found a new flatbread recipe that I love so much, I made it twice. Once we had it with lamb & beef meatballs, another time, with butter cinnamon and sugar, and one kid used it as sandwich bread for roast beef.

It's so easy and versatile. I'm putting photos and the recipe at the bottom of this post.

This week, I recorded about following God's voice and the cost that can come with it.

I've experienced the cost. I don't often talk about things I've experienced in work and life when it comes to this topic, but trust me, if you do things the way God wants you to, it'll upset some folks eventually.

You may have to risk looking mean, stupid, bad, or wrong.

Truly though, when compared to what believers face around the world, it's not much. But when it's all you know, it feels like a lot!

The good news is: it's worth it. More than worth it.

God has reasons for everything He says. He has a reason for each move He tells you to make. And the more you listen to Him and see Him work in your life, the closer to Abba you'll be.

The benefits far outweigh the risks.

Another thing God told me is that listening to Him and doing what He says is how we show that we love Him.

The enemy makes listening to and following Yeshua look like the most awful thing in the world. But it's not. It's the best.

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." -John 10:27

In this podcast episode, I share how I learned to know God's voice, a couple of examples of when listening did have a cost, and why I'd do it again.
