The blessing of obeying God (2)
“Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people…” Ex 19:5
To be God’s peculiar treasure is the greatest thing that can happen to someone. It is far greater than the highest national honour of any country. And this is attainable through obedience to God.

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.
