This blessing has fallen to me, that I have kept your precepts.
What a wonderful thought, to realize that obedience is the ultimate blessing. To know that as I obey, an upwelling of gratitude, all the blessings of the Kingdom inure to me. It is upon me to seek that state of gratitude that is expressed in obedience. The goal is not the blessing, it is to be able to tell my Lord how grateful I am that He paid the ransom to bring me into the Kingdom.
