Trust and Obey by Pam DeLoach

Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey." All too often we gulibly sing the words to this familiar Christian hymn without giving them much thought. These important words convey exactly what the Bible teaches. The secret of spiritual happiness and blessing is simply trusting and obeying the Lord. Frequently, growing Christians think that the secret of being "happy in Jesus" is found in some other method--like "spiritual experiences"! No! The divine method for happiness and blessing is full trust in God and complete obedience to His Word. Lack of faith and partial obedience not only result in unhappiness and loss of blessing, they bring serious consequences in the life of the believer.

The Bible contains many passages that teach the "trust and obey for happiness" principle (see Psalm 119, for example). 

I want to walk in the full blessings...how about you...God bless everyone today and talk with you tomorrow.
