God makes clear to us in the scriptures two paths, that of blessing and that of cursing, also advises us to take the path of blessing so that our offspring will do well and reach us. If we love God we must be obedient to his Word, perhaps we can not be completely obedient at the beginning, but as we meditate, and our knowledge grows we can obey as we learn new ordinances. This blesses and protects our environment and family. God says that it is a shield to those who walk righteously. To walk righteously is to obey his commandments. Loving God above all things and the neighbor as ourselves, in this encloses the whole law. God bless you, thank you very much for your teaching.
