Obedience Brings Blessings

Luke 11:28

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

Have you ever tried to cheat during an exam? If yes, how did you feel in your heart? I bet deep down your heart did not feel so good as a pang of guilt hit you and there was a gentle voice telling you that you were doing the wrong thing. Then, if you changed your mind because you listened to that voice, it means you had passed the test of obedience.

Obeying God in small matters is an essential step in receiving God’s greatest blessings. Obedience brings blessing. God promised there is always a blessing for every command that we obey. Don’t you know that those who are obedient to their parents are those who will become successful in life? It is because obedience will also lead us on the right path. 

Since you are following God’s commandments, expect the best to come into your life. We obey God in the way that pleases Him when we do His commands with the right attitude. 

Prayer

Dear God, give me a heart to always obey Your commandments so that my life can please Your heart. Amen.
