From Inspired Faith: Obedience

We all know there are negative consequences to disobeying God, but do we ever stop to consider all the blessings and rewards that come to us through obedience? Have we made obedience a drudgery that steals the fun from life, rather than affirming how much sweeter and better it makes life? There are more rewards and blessings from obedience than can be listed on a single page, but consider the following as you look up the corresponding Bible verses.

* Obedience gives us a clean conscience:
Psalm 19:13
* Obedience keeps us from danger:
Psalm 119:10
* Obedience brings material blessings:
Deuteronomy 11:13–15
* Obedience prolongs life:
Deuteronomy 11:9
* Obedience is a blessing to our family:
Psalm 112:1–3
* Obedience brings joy:
Psalm 119:33–35
* Obedience frees us from addictive habits:
Psalm 119:44–45
* Obedience increases our faith:
James 2:17

Lord God, thank You for enriching my life as I walk in Your ways. Amen.
