“Like so many areas in our walk with God, obedience requires a daily, if not moment-by-moment, surrender.”

God showed me that obedience, or the lack thereof, has a profound effect on interpersonal relationships. First and foremost, God wants our relationship with Him to be right. Before we ever try to give or do anything for God, His primary concern is for us to be right with Him. That requires total obedience. Once we are right with God, other relationships become what they need to be.

Even though I had encountered many lessons about obedience and the price of disobedience, I had occasional setbacks. Like so many areas in our walk with God, obedience requires a daily, if not moment-by-moment, surrender. About six years after the incident involving the copied furniture designs, our company accountant came to me with a dilemma. The government had neglected to charge tax on a duty transfer, an oversight that put the company ahead by $20,000. The accountant wanted to know what he should do about it. I said, “Let me think about it and get back to you in the morning.” But I knew what we needed to do. There really wasn’t anything to think or pray about. I called the guy first thing the next morning and apologized for not doing the right thing immediately. We owed the money, and there should never have been any question whether or not we would pay. When the choice between right and wrong is obvious, I have to obey God and do the right thing.
