Trust and Obey
Yeah, that's a great song. The Bible is full of stories of God blessing people who trusted and obeyed His commandments. The eleventh chapter of Hebrews reminds us of heroes like Noah, Abraham, and Moses. They stand as examples of people who were blessed because of their faithful obedience.
The formula of "trust and obey" works in families too. When a man and a woman are married in a holy, lifelong commitment to God, they receive His blessing. Does this mean that that marriage will never have problems? Of course not. Your family and mine will take hits. But our setbacks are temporary when we do things God's way.
One final thought. As you read and study the Bible, determine if you and your family are trusting God, and obeying His commands. If you're not, it's time to begin to trust and obey.
