This is the day.

Psalm 106:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

Again we pick up the theme of being blessed. This time we find blessing in obedience. Keeping judgment is equated with keeping the law of God, or keeping God's Word. When we take our lives apart, and strive to make them line up with the Word of God, we find out that it is much easier to do right all the time. Yes, we still find ourselves slipping up, but it seems to happen much less frequently. Why is this? Well, the Word of God continually purifies our lives much like washing your hands keeps down germs. The next time we are faced with doing wrong "dirty" we find that we have "clean hands" and don't want to mess them up again. One of the keys to a successful life in any instances, but especially in Christianity is to obey what you are told to do.

TRUST AND OBEY

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.
Refrain

Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Refrain

Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

Refrain

But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

Refrain

Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet.
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Refrain
