Deuteronomy 10: 13 And you must always obey the LORD’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good.

Obeying God shows our love, respect, and priority for God. But God has given us certain commands because He knows what actions produce the best outcome. Just as you keep a child from burning their hand on the stove and instead redirect them to kinesthetic or learning toys, God calls us to obey to steer us away from sins that lead to destructive outcomes and to instead lead us to the prosperity that comes from obedience (Deuteronomy 28). Praise God for being such a great parent to us!
