King James Version
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.
Devotional
Everything was perfect on the earth until sin set in and caused creation to be in conflict with mankind as mankind became even more disobedient to God.
However, when a person takes the step of faith and accepts Jesus Christ into his or her life, their heart is transformed, and they become able to obey the Word of God.
Being obedient to the Word of God brings a lot of blessings
Isaiah 1:19
If you consent and obey,
You will eat the best of the land
No evil, trouble, or misery will befall you; you become wiser to discern the appropriate time and procedure or judgment.
Dear friends, be obedient Christians, and be a partakers of the blessings stipulated in God’s Word.
Prayer suggestions
▪︎ Ask God to help you to live in obedience to your Word.
▪︎ Ask God to give you the grace to remain obedient irrespective of what you’re going through.
