Be Obedient

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

A few months ago, I was given a specific date to take another leap into the unknown. As time crept closer to me taking that leap, I kept playing around with the date until one day when I heard loud and clear, “That’s the date.” I was like, “Okay, I hear You, God,” and did what was asked. I was told that delaying what was asked of me would delay what He was trying to do for me. I took the leap even though I didn’t know and still don’t know how things will work out. I’m not sure what He has in store, but the atmosphere did change as soon as I leaped. Honestly, it changed when I decided to be obedient, which was before I actually leaped.

Be obedient and take the leap! As Pastor Joel Osteen said nine years ago, God will not ask you to give up something without giving you something better in return.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

I’m laughing at myself because I could’ve cropped this more. I just like seeing the “9 years ago.”☺️

Listening Ears On

Shaun Bradford

Keep your listening ears on! Sometimes, God’s voice is almost faint. So faint that you must be tuned in to hear it.

Earlier, I was ready to post something different. I had created a graphic for it and everything. Then, I heard not to share it, so I didn’t. After thinking about what I was going to share, I understood why I was told not to share it. It wasn’t anything terrible. Honestly, I thought it was quite inspiring. However, some could’ve misinterpreted it. I’m so glad I listened.

Questions—

Do you have your listening ears on?

If so…

Are you prepared to be obedient?

That’s all for now. I pray you’re having a wonderful day thus far.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

The Plan

Shaun Bradford

You may not be able to see it, but God has a plan. All you need to do is sit back, relax, and go with the flow. He’ll guide you when it’s time to move. Believe me when I say, He’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

There’s no better or safer place to be than in God’s hands.

Pray First

Shaun Bradford

Before you make unnecessary or costly moves, pray first. Pray about the situation, then listen for the answer. Allow God to guide your decision(s).♥️

Love you,

It’s Time To Move

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

On November 26, 2022, I wrote—

“Be still and wait. Yes.. wait!”

Today, I’m saying the opposite.

It’s time to move!

You’ve sat and waited. You were obedient and did what you were told. Now, it’s time to get moving! As I said yesterday, take that leap, you will not fall or fail. God’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

P.S. If you’re still hearing to be still and wait… be still and wait. Believe me, it’s best to wait until God gives you the okay to move forward, than to move on your own.💕

The Leap

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning ☀️

Today’s Facebook memory has me pretty emotional. It’s about taking leaps without knowing the details, without knowing what’s to come. All you have is God’s assurance that you won’t fall or fail. Everything else is unknown.

Here’s what I shared on Facebook five years ago (November 25, 2019), unsure who to give credit to for the illustrations.

I wrote—

“Trust God. No matter how outlandish it may seem, if He tells you to do something, do it. He knows what lies ahead. Trust Him.”

I needed this reminder today. I don’t need to see the entire staircase or where the next step will lead. All I need to do is be obedient and trust God, and the rest will unfold.🙏🏽

If there’s a leap you’ve been hesitant to take, perhaps this is your sign to take it. You won’t fail. Praying you have a great day and wonderful week.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Obedience, That’s The Word

Shaun Bradford

I know I write a lot about obedience, but y’all, our obedience to God is sooooo important—so very important.

Obedience gets you through the though times. Obedience brings blessings you weren’t expecting. Obedience keeps you protected. God knows and sees things you don’t. Listen, be obedient to whatever He asks of you. You may not understand what He’s asking, or feel the need to follow through, but do. Trust Him. He’s looking out for you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 7

Shaun Bradford

Message received…

I appreciate God showing me, me. There are certain things isolation has shown me about myself that I would have never realized before COVID-19.

Yes, I am still somewhat isolated. Most of my work and social interactions are virtual.

Then, there are things that I have only learned by being in the presence of others, particularly those outside my circle.

I needed today.

I hear you, God.

I’m listening, God.

I’m following through, God.

Thank You for showing me, me.♥️

Obedience Matters

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Yesterday, I wrote, “God has spoken. He has already advised you on what needs to be done, next. Now it’s up to you to respond accordingly.”

Well, a portion of that message was taken from a caption I had shared the year before (October 29, 2023). Let’s just say I created a better graphic and repurposed the caption. Smile. Although I made it a bit cuter, the message was still the same, and it was actually for me. Yep! That message was for me.

You see, a few weeks ago, I received very specific instructions from God about something I needed to do. I followed through, but only to a certain extent. What I failed to do was follow through with confidence. So, afterwards, I was easily persuaded to modify what I was told to fit someone else’s plan. Well, almost daily, I kept hearing I needed to be obedient and do what I was told.

Fast forward to yesterday—after coming across my Facebook memory about already hearing what God had said and needing to respond accordingly, I did just that. I did what I was originally advised to do, and when I did, the person responded that God had already given them that same message. Hmmm…

Listen, be obedient. You don’t have to know why you’re being asked to do something, just do it. Just be obedient.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
