There are many benefits to doing what’s right in the sight of the Lord.  That’s because God’s commands and promises within the Bible are for our good…both morally and practically.  For if we heed them, we will be known for our integrity and good character…not otherwise.  And when we follow closely after the Lord and not our fleshly desires…we find His favor.  For Psalm 84:11 tells us, The Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless.” NIV   So ponder this…it will only profit us to obey God.
