To know if obedience to God brings blessing, we must first clarify the term obey. God endowed man with multiple senses and obedience is linked to one of them. Obeying is listening.

That is why obedience has to do with listening; in our spiritual senses it goes beyond hearing; it is aligning with God regarding his will and the purposes he has for our lives; it is precisely there where obedience to God brings blessing to our lives.

Sharpening our spiritual ears

To recognize the voice of God, we must first know him; and to know him is to seek him. God is at the door and our hearts must be attentive to his call. He has always looked for us:

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door; I will come in to him and dine with him and he with me “Revelation 3:20 (KJV)

You can see how in this promise, obedience to God brings blessing to our lives through the invitation he takes us through his call.

By sharpening our spiritual ears, we must have habits that facilitate that closeness with God; among which, the most important will be prayer and the reading of the word

“My son, be attentive to my word; he inclines your ear to my reasons” Proverbs 4:20 .

Who obeyed God?

In the scriptures, there are many testimonies of people who obeyed the voice of God; He manifested himself in different ways and those who listened to him could see how his blessing was poured out on their lives.

Noah obeyed by making the ark and achieved a blessing by not perishing in the flood.
Abraham obeyed by going to sacrifice his son Isaac on the Mount and this act made God bless his offspring.
Jacob obeyed God and his generation was great.
Moses obeyed God and freed his people.
David obeyed God and was called his friend.
Joseph obeyed God by taking the Virgin Mary as his wife; he had the blessing of raising and caring for Jesus; to the King of Kings, Lord of Lords as his son.
Jesus obeyed God and to this day we are blessed by the price of his obedience.
