The effect of obedience



Deuteronomy 4:6a Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations…

Aside from the benefit to one’s life when you obey the reasonable law of God, your obedience will have an effect on the people around you.  They will see your wisdom and your understanding, and also (see v.7-8) they will see how close God is to you.  They will not be able to ignore the God they see in you, whether in the wisdom they see in you, or in the relationship they see that you have with God.  When a person does not have either the wisdom of God or a relationship with Him, it can have a big impact on them to see that in me.  I pray that I will always genuinely and lovingly display God in a way that draws people to Him through me.
