—Leviticus 26:3-6
by: Jennifer Lewis Berg.
There are two benefits in keeping God’s commandments. First, because He knows what is best for us, His commandments are the formula for successful lives. Second, He will reward our obedience with gifts that will ensure lives of plenty, safety, and peace. For Israel, honoring God’s covenant meant the promise of blessings without interruption. For us, if we honor God’s Sabbath, He “will give you great honor and satisfy you with the inheritance I promised to your ancestor Jacob” (Isaiah 58:14b, NLT).
