Blessings Observed when Believers Obeyed


"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye… Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about" (Psalm 32:8,10).  "He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction… The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it" (Proverbs 10:17,22).  "Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee" (Genesis 26:3).  "God… now commandeth all men everywhere to repent" (Acts 17:30). 

Behold the blessings seen today
In those who heed the Lord's instruction,  
For all who gladly will obey
Escape the sorrows of seduction. 

The way of life wherein God leads
Foresees the blessings of tomorrow
As He supplies our daily needs
And guards us from seduction's sorrow. 

When God told Isaac not to go
To Egypt to avoid the dearth,
The blessings He would then bestow
Proved God was King of all the earth. 

O Lord, the blessings we've observed
When hearts believe You and repent
Extend Your mercies undeserved
With grace and truth from heaven sent.
