God hates disobedience or partial obedience. He gave many instructions to Moses on how to build the tabernacle. Moses did not miss out any of the details, but followed them fully and completely. Every child of God is to follow this wonderful example.
In order to make it easy to obey all the instructions from God, you are advised to always have your Bible and writing materials like exercise book and pen/biro with you. This will enable you to write God’s instructions during personal devotion or fellowship time so that you can read them from time to time and find it easy to obey. You should also pay attention to your school work to have good success.
Do not only rely on what you have stored up in your brain, create room to learn more. Be attentive when you are in church or school, and avoid distractions. Do not be careless with the things of God, your academics and other matters of life.
Prayer: O Lord, help me to pay attention to Your word and make me obedient to You always.
