       Now, the psalmist also points out the fact that, “Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.” The other great thing about the Bible is its warnings to us. That may sound kind of weird, but warnings are good because they keep us out of trouble, if we will listen and follow them. God warns us about something because he loves us, not because he’s a cosmic killjoy who loves to see us suffer, as people. No, God wants what is best for us, each of us individually. Warnings, when harkened, keep our actions in step and preserve our life toward problems that could develop. When we sin, in the most basic sense we go against God, and that’s not what we want to be doing. We want to live the best lives that we can, honoring God’s Word so that God will be pleased, we will be preserved, and others will be helped. Following what the Bible says gets us the best out of life.
