That It May Be Well With Us

-January 31, 2024-

Good morning beloved, happy Wednesday,

“But this what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’”

(Jeremiah 7:23).

God not only knows what is best for us, He wants the the best for us. The Lord knows that the only way we can be happy and fulfilled is to obey Him, walk in ways, do what is right in His sight.

When we honor God, He will honor us. God promises that it will go well with us. Deuteronomy 5:16 says, “Honor your father and mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be long, that it may be well with you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.” We must follow all God’s commands.

When do things on our own, and seek our own will, things will not be well with us. We need to obey the Lord fully, surrender to His will, and serve Him. Parents tell their children what to do and not to do that they would be safe and successful. God our heavenly Father loves us and desires our whole hearts.

The hymn writer James H. Sammis wrote, ‘When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, what a glory He sheds on our way! While we do His good will, He abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.”

Dr. B.J. Miller once said, “It is a great deal easier to do that which God gives us to do, no matter how hard it is, than to face the responsibilities of not doing it.”

If we side with the Lord, live for Him, and serve Him—it will be well with us now and forever. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

Obedience to God, leads to blessing on this sod,
