Pastor Robert Maasbach's devotional 'Who Do We Obey?' explores the central spiritual question of whose authority we ultimately submit to—God, ourselves, or the world. Drawing from Exodus 5, Deuteronomy 7, and personal testimonies, he emphasizes that true obedience flows from a heart surrendered to God’s leading, not human effort or desire. He recounts how Moses questioned God’s plan despite divine direction, illustrating that even faithful servants face moments of doubt and delay. Yet God’s faithfulness remains constant, as seen in His promise to deliver Israel from bondage and His ongoing work in the lives of believers. The sermon underscores that every good gift comes from God, and our success, strength, and provision are not due to personal merit but divine enablement. Pastor Maasbach concludes with a powerful call to wholehearted obedience, rooted in gratitude and dependence on God’s sovereignty.
True obedience is not based on feelings or results, but on trust in God’s sovereign plan.
God’s timing and methods often transcend our understanding, but His faithfulness never fails.
Every good gift comes from God—our strength, health, and success are divine enablement.
We must reject the illusion of self-sufficiency and acknowledge God as the source of all provision.
When we face trials, we are to respond with faith, prayer, and surrender, trusting God’s provision.
