The serpent was and is said to be the worst crafty of all the wild creatures that Yahweh God had made. We hear sayings such as “slippery as a snake”, signifying how mischievous an individual can be.

God is not an eager God. He is patiently waits on us to come to the realization of him.

Answering the call of God does not mean that each day for every minute we lie prostrate before him. But and more importantly it means serving others thereby providing them with the necessary freedom they require.

Our existence comes from him and we are dependent on him for survival. Though we may look to others for our needs it is only God who satisfies us. When we answer the call of God he actively take over our lives. He reveals himself to us as the the only truth who creates us and is responsible for us.

Let it be known that God loves us dearly. So in turn we should love him too by obeying him. Jesus Christ showed us how to love and through his sacrificial life he showed us how to obey God. If we live for ourselves we are not committed to God. Obeying God means obeying his commands. When we love God we have no choice but to obey him as well.

When we obey God we are sure to receive God’s blessings. Obedience means faithfulness to God’s words. He promises us good things, the only thing we need to do is wait.

When God blesses us it is not just for one day or one moment; it is continuous. Only we can stop the flow of God’s blessings. We should aim to please God. We should trust in him. Faith in him brings joy and secures our place with him for the future. Each day we should look forward to life in the new Jerusalem even as we reap his blessings now.
