Trust — And Obey

I believe that “trust” and “obey” are two wings of a bird. A wise old writer once wrote, “Two wings of a dove don’t weigh her down.” She rises by means of them. “Trust” and “obey” are the two wings of the Christian. We trust and we obey. We obey because we trust. We trust in order that we might obey. If we try to obey without faith, we get nowhere. If we try to have faith without obedience, it ends in nothing.—A.W. Tozer, Experiencing the Presence of God, 61
