Immediate Obedience
Galatians 1:15-16
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,…


As when a general commands his army to march, if, then, the soldiers should stand upon terms, and refuse to go except they have better clothes, their pay in hand, or the like, and then they will march, — this would not show them an obedient, disciplined army; but if, at the reading of their orders, they presently break up their quarters, and set forth, though it be midnight when the command come, and they without money, or clothes on their backs, leaving the whole care of themselves for these things to their general, and they only attend how they may best fulfil his commands, — these may be said to march in obedience.

(H. G. Salter.)
