I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Exodus 39. “The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses. Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them” (Verses 42-43). I am seeing a pattern in the last few reading. At first I thought it was just the nature of the Chapters that lead me to the same conclusion. But now I think it is an important truth that God is trying to teach and show me . Not just me, but His children in general. He desires obedience NOT sacrifice (apologies, confessions). He wants to bless us and blessings come from obedience. The above verses state that the Israelites did ALL that the Lord had commanded. ALL. Not some, not just what they felt like doing. They did every single thing God wanted, and at the end, they were blessed. Conclusion (I made this conclusion in an earlier post, but it is still true). Obedience=Blessing. If God keeps repeating it, maybe it is time we (His people) listen and do.
