We
demonstrate our love to God, by keeping His commandments and following His
ways. Like a good and loving father who cares for his children, the Lord shows
us the right we should do and warns us to avoid the wrong. He teaches us at
length about the rewards of righteousness and the repercussions and judgments
of sin. He regards those who are faithful and shows open mercy and goodness towards
them. His promises and pledges are renewed to the obedient and diligent
follower, improving the quality of his life through blessing and growth. Some
view God as capricious or whimsical, but the opposite is true, He has made
known His stand and position from the beginning. It is us who are moody,
inconsistent and change our position far too readily. We weaken our stand and
commitment towards Him, reduce our discipline and abandon our convictions. The
adjustments God makes are largely in response to our variability, but His
intention and desire is made very clear – He wants to bless! He is faithful, He
keeps His covenant, if there is distancing or loss in our relationship with
Him, it does not find its genesis with Him! If we want to please the Lord, the
best thing we can do is to remain faithful to Him in response to His
faithfulness, and allow Him to bestow upon us the bountiful gifts and goodness
He so much desires to bless us with!
