If we think that God’s commands are not for our good, we will tend to break them much more often. But, when we understand God’s motive behind His commands, we are motivated to obey them.
God, in His grace, has allowed His glory to be experienced based upon how others perceive His followers. Do you want others to grow closer to God? Then take your walk with Jesus seriously.
One of the keys to getting our prayers answered is focusing on the things that are important to God. And if we’re truly growing in our love relationship with our Heavenly Father, they will be the things that are important to us, too.
