there is a blessing in obedience. when I was younger and my mother would tell me to do what she said or else, I did it because she was mom and I didn't want a beat down or to be on punishment. when I was told to do what the teacher told me to do in class, I did it because they were the teachers and I didn't want a bad grade or be sent to the disciplinarian's office or worse, have my mother find out. for my obedience in either case the reward was always better than the punishment, of course. I got to stay up later, got to watch tv a little longer or got to go outside and play when I did what my mother said. I would get an "A" or "B" on a test or got to be the teacher's helper when I did what the teacher said.
I had not made the correlation between my training in obedience as a child or younger person to the task of being obedient as an adult in this growing and maturing relationship that I have with the Father. the reward for obedience is so much greater than the consequences of not being obedient to His call on my life. when you know better you do better.
there is a blessing in obedience.
peace and blessings GoOD people!
