Benefits of living by the Word of God

  I have never seen nor heard that God disappoints those who live their daily lives in His word. Because the word is actively working to identify who says it, the purpose why He said it, and the power behind the said word. Isaiah 55:11

  Everyone can say a word. It might be a promising, boasting, or curing word to someone, but those words have no benefit to whom it might be said about. People make promises and fail, boast about life, and end in shame and curse to cause others suffering, which proves that there is nothing significant to benefit from the human's word. 

  From the above scriptural reference, God openly spoke about the efficacy of His word to reveal how realistic it is when living daily upon it. In His word, He guarantees us everything good as we journey to unfold the mystery behind our existence on earth. Is that not a whole lot of benefit?

  When we obey and live by following God's word, we benefit from Him because He created the world and everything in it, including us, and only He knows what is destined for every one of us and is the only person who can direct our paths toward our destiny because He created us all, and through Him, we can have that better future. 

  God told Abram to leave his country, his people, and his father's property to a place unknown to him. He had no idea, no address of where God was taking him but he chose to obey without doubting or questioning God because he knew that there was a benefit in holding on to the word of God(Genesis 12:1-4). 

  His obedience to live for the word of God earned him the father of many nations and a change of name from Abram to Abraham. Genesis 17:4-6   It is only when there is obedience that living the scriptural life becomes necessary because Abraham lived his daily life through the instruction of God, passed through tough and hard times trying to do every last thing God told him to do, and in the end, received the reward of his faithfulness because he was obedient. 

  What made God reject Saul from being king was his act of disobedience. Remember that he once lived and followed God's instructions and even benefited from it because God gave him victory over his enemies, and the moment he stopped obeying, he stopped living and started failing 1 Samuel 15:1-26  And, his disobedience made his body the dwelling of evil spirit 1 Samuel 19:9

   No doubt we are Christians and that alone makes us God's children. His children are to live by His instruction, but most times our disobedience to His word makes us unable to live by the leading of His word which also prevents us from having access to His promises. 

  It pays to live by the word of God, and it is only by the word and our obedience to follow its instructions can we fulfill our destinies.
