| Your happiness & your health & your blessings
in this life depend on your obedience to God. If you are
obeying the Lord & are faithful & loyal &
trusting & believing, then God's got to bless you.
But if He's not blessing you, it's not His fault, it's
YOUR fault!--Something's wrong somewhere. Sometimes
you just have to have the faith to trust God, that He
knows best.--Just like a child has to trust a parent,
even though he doesn't always understand why he must do
this or that or not do it. He just has to "do it
because Daddy SAYS so!"--Because Daddy knows best,
& he'll probably find out Daddy was right in the long
run! The smartest thing a child can do is to obey &
follow his parents, & do as they do, & as they
tell him to do, if he wants to stay out of trouble &
survive!--So help us, Lord, to just trust Thee &
obey, whether we always understand what You are doing in
our lives or not.
The thing that counts with God is your faith in Him
& His Word, & your obedience to the Lord. So God
bless you & help you to believe & obey--As the
old hymn says,
"Trust & obey, for there's no
other way,
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust &
obey!"
