Psa 119:56 | MHM | STEP | v. 56 : David explains the result of remembering God's name: This I had, because I kept thy precepts . By following God's commands, David found comfort and satisfaction. Some people think this means David received all that he needed and felt happy because he obeyed God. Others believe it means that the very act of obeying God brought comfort to David. Doing God's will is its own reward. The more we obey, the more we will want to obey, and God will help us grow even more, just like Jesus said: every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit (John 15:2 ).
