Obedience is more than rules, it’s mercy that stops our wandering. While many obey for reward, threat, or convenience, God calls us to trust-based obedience. In Joshua 3, we see that moments are big, but trusting the Miracle Worker is bigger; that God is both near and to be feared; and that faith means stepping into the water before we see that it will part. True obedience flows not from what is asked, but from who is asking.
