In other to be able to obey the word of God, man must be one that is observing the word.
Deuteronomy 12:28 recorded, “Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.” Hear to observe and obey the word of God.
God also pointed it out to Joshua, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” (Joshua 1:8) Meditating the word of God day and night is the key to be observing and obeying the word of God.
It is written, “For the word of the LORD is right, and all His work is done in truth.” (Psalm 33:4) The word of God is true and right. We are to hear and hold on to the truth. Without any doubt, no weapon formed against one that observe and obey the truth in the word of God diligently.
What man is hearing to observe and obey in the word of God is what will carry man through in daily walk or the journey of life. The word of God is direction, deliverance, protection and preservation. There is a need to hear the word of God on a daily and regular basis.

For in You do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk for I lift up my soul to You.” The Psalmist demonstrated that hearing, observing and obeying Him in the morning is what makes the difference for the day. When man begins to make provision to hear from the word of God first in the morning, trusting God will be activated in man’s daily endeavors. Also, what man hears in the morning will always become man’s compass to navigate through daily challenges. Word heard first in the morning will accompanying man in journey. The word of God will show the way through the day and it will also be one’s weapon of deliverance from the enemy. There is no one who has walked in His way and fallen. Moreover, those who walk in His way will arrive at their expected end. Also, those that hears, observe and obey are set in His divine schedule and rest.
