OneWordStudy+FollowOne Greek word changed how I think about obedience. In English, obedience sounds forced. Doing what you are told, even when you don’t want to. But the New Testament often uses the word hypakoē. It means to listen from underneath. Obedience here begins with listening. Not agreement. Not enthusiasm. But attention. This matters when obedience feels tiring. When you’ve followed God for decades and still don’t feel rewarded for it. Hypakoē does not describe blind compliance. It describes staying attentive, even when clarity is thin. Scripture honors obedience not because it is loud, but because it keeps listening when silence would be easier. #BibleStudy #GreekWord #Obedience #ListeningFaith #LongFaith70Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowI skipped Numbers 7 for years. Then one detail surprised me. Numbers 7 feels repetitive. The same offerings. The same words. Over and over again. I never thought it mattered. Then I noticed something. Every tribe brought the exact same gift. And every offering was recorded—fully, individually. God didn’t summarize. He didn’t say “they all brought the same thing.” He honored each one. Even when obedience looks repetitive to us, God sees it personally. What I thought was boring was actually proof that faithfulness is never overlooked. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Numbers #Faithfulness #Obedience #Scripture10Share
