"Obeying God brings great joy."
From the six-year-old who leaves her game because her mother has called her in for supper to the business executive who pays his taxes on time, we all live in a web of relationships dependent upon obedience to authority. Like a loving parent, God sets standards for our good and to protect us from evil and harm. Even though God's command is sometimes difficult, or doesn't make sense from our human perspective, obedience will always bring blessing, joy and peace.
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with scoffers.
Psalm 1:1
Heaven
