LW: “Prevention is better than cure”, and God seeks to prevent us from sinning and grieving Him by giving us His commandments.

Study 3A THE REWARD FOR OBEDIENCE
(Scripture Portion: Psalm 19)
The key-words of this study are in Psalm 19:11 – “In keeping them there is great reward.” In this simple statement the psalmist tells us that there is a reward for obedience. Some of God’s children are disobedient, (in fact, we all are at times); but when we obey Him the Lord promises us a “great” reward. The reference is not primarily to future rewards which we shall receive at the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10), but to rewards we receive here and now. One day we must all appear before the Lord to be rewarded, or to suffer loss, according to the way we have lived and laboured for Him (1 Corinthians 3:9-15), but Psalm 19 is speaking of a reward for obedience which is to be received and enjoyed here and now. Notice the words “in” and “is”; that means that in the actual process of doing God’s will and keeping His commandments there is great reward.
1 . Before we think about the rewards that God promises and gives for obedience , let us look at verses 7 - 11 , where we are told seven things about the commandments of the Lord which are contained in His Word, and which we are to “keep” .
1. They are POWERFUL –- “reviving the soul” (verse 7)
2. They are PLAIN – “making wise the simple” (verse 7).
3. They are PLEASING –- “giving joy to the heart” (verse 8).
4. They are PURE – “The commandment of the Lord is pure” (verse 8 KJV)
5. They are PERMANENT – “enduring for ever” (verse 9)
6. They are PRECIOUS – “more precious than gold” and “sweeter than honey” (verse 10)
7. They are PREVENTIVE – “by them is your servant warned” (verse 11). “Prevention is better than cure”, and God seeks to prevent us from sinning and grieving Him by giving us His commandments.
How wonderful God’s commandments are! How right the psalmist is to speak of them as being “perfect” in verse 7!Are you ready to be His obedient candidate?see you in the concluding part.God bless you
