God’s expectations and promises are laid out for us. What we do with them is our choice. To choose his ways and to follow his decrees will bring blessings from God and respect from men. To choose paths other than God’s is to choose consequences that will bring pain and sorrow. When reading God’s word it seems plain and simple, but because of our free will and sinful nature, we sometimes allow our vision to be clouded and choose a path we know is not of God. God will not force us to follow his ways, but he has already laid out the consequences for us if we don’t.
