God gave you all the rules you must live by. The Bible is a guide for life! Where are all the laws that God created to live a happy, healthy and holy life.
If you follow God’s plan, things will work out. But every time you forget about God and ignore his playbook, things in your life start to fall apart—physically, emotionally, financially, relationally, and in every other way.
You hurt yourself and others if you doubt God’s goodness and obey him.
This happened many times in the Bible. Every time a person or a group of people forgot God and turned their back on him, they had serious problems.
Psalm 106 tells us about one of these scenarios: “In the desert they gave free rein to their desires; they tested the patience of God in this desolate and barren land. Then he gave them what they asked for, but at the same time he sent them through the way, they are a plague “. Psalms 106:1-15 (NTV).
If you say to God, “I want to do what I want, when I want to do it,” sometimes He will give you what you want. But getting everything you want often has unintended consequences.
Eating what you want and when you want can lead to obesity and high blood sugar levels. Drinking as much alcohol as you want at any one time can lead to alcoholism and heart disease. A confused sexual life can cause venereal diseases and family breakdown.
When you ignore the healthy principles that God teaches in the Bible, you are telling him that you think you know more than he does. But disobedience always has consequences, sometimes big and sometimes small.
There is no better time than today to start making decisions in obedience to the word of God. As you live in a way that honors God, you will find great blessings to come.
