God’s GLORY is witnessed “through” his people's obedience. God gives his people assignments, callings ministries, marriages, families, and purposes, not for their purposes, but for HIS. It is not our job to CHANGE situations or circumstances around or toward our preferred OUTCOMES. It is up to us to OBEY and allow God to work the situations and circumstances toward HIS OUTCOME. The HEBREW BOYS didn’t try to CHANGE King Nebuchadnezzar mind about worshipping other gods or bowing down to graven images. They simply OBEYED God. Their obedience glorified God and became the catalyst for an even GREATER GLORY of God.

In order to allow God, the invisible Holy Spirit to work “in” and “through” THEM, God’s people willfully CHOOSE to cooperate with him through OBEDIENCE. “…Choose you this day whom ye will serve (obey)….” (Joshua 24:15 KJV).
Many seem to think obedience is gained through meticulously following the list of rules, regulations, biblical instructions, or commandments that God gives to his people to guide their ethical or religious behavior. “...This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me...” (Mark 7:6 KJV). “…for thy heart is not right in the sight of God…” (Acts 8:21 KJV).
Those who follow or adhere to the list of rules, regulations, biblical instructions, or commandments greater than others often consider themselves MORE holy or righteous. “… Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else: “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’ “But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted…” (Luke 18:9-14 NLT).
