Title: God knows best
This has been my practice: I obey your precepts – Psalm 119.56
To obey is to submit. The idea of obeying or submitting to someone more significant than ourselves is lost. When something inside, say’s “Nobody tells me what to do!” we might have a bit of a pride issue.
A precept is a commandment, often a moral or conduct-related directive. You have to consider the source. The God who made us tells us how to live, not just to have rules, but because He knows what’s best for us. You are doing it for their good when you give your kids a directive to get out of the street (or any other parental command).
So obey. Listen to God’s words. Follow his precepts for living. And you will enjoy the life He has given you in the best way possible.
Real Men obey God’s direction.
