Nathalie Thomas Runion says “Obedience will cost us our comfort” in her recent Instagram post.
Obedience will cost us our comfort
In the post, the best-selling author talked about her experiences while making “big steps of obedience” over the past years. Nathalie shared how her obedience resulted in some people criticizing her, not understanding the weight of what God had spoken to her. But no matter what the price , she still chose to obey the voice of God.
“I’ve made some pretty big steps of obedience in the last seven years and it hasn’t always made sense to those on the outside. I’ve been critiqued, cautioned, canceled, and criticized. Had I listened to the critics I would have missed the call of my Creator to obedience to His voice, not their heckling and questioning.”

Nathalie then spoke to those who are currently faced with big decisions. She encouraged everyone to be brave and carry on with what God was calling them to do.
“I know some of us are making some big decisions right now and obedience isn’t popular. It will require leaving, moving, and growing up and people don’t always know what to do when we grow- you can’t wait for them to figure it out. Be brave, Stayers. Obedience will cost us our comfort and the comfort of others- carry on and carry through.”
No matter what the cost we had to pay, our prize will surely be all worth it. Jesus is the prize of our obedience.
“Keep your eyes on Jesus, ears tuned to His voice, heart glued to His Word, soul clenching His promises. Obedience is necessary for this adventure we are on – hands up, stomach in our throats – what a ride it is!”
