‘HAPPINESS lies in obedience’ were the words which an old preacher used to teach children in the houses where he used to visit.
Yes! obedience is necessary if we are to be happy. A disobedient child is never really happy. He knows he is doing wrong. Disobedience to parents is sin.
It is written of our Lord Jesus that He was subject to His parents. And He would have us happy also by being obedient to our parents. You know the lines of the chorus,
“Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way,
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.”
Carry them out, dear young friends, trust the Lord Jesus as your Saviour; then obey Him, and those put over you,, day by day. So you will be happy children. .
