Some of these benefits include:   - Increased knowledge of God - Clear guidance from God's direction - God's divine protection - Strength and power from God - Peace, contentment and happiness - A good self-image - Prospertiy - Good health and a long life These benefits should motivate us to delve into Scripture and obey God’s Word. Because when we walk wisely, we get to experience the blessings that come with making good decisions.
