This stuck out to me because I think some people think of God as a being out there that delivers harsh punishment for wrongdoing, as well as overall a feeling of distance. This goes to show you that God watches out for His children. Once you know that, it makes it much easier to remember that God is our Loving, Caring, Father in Heaven. He wants us to be happy, and He (just like any attentive parent) has some sort of plan to reinforce good behavior with blessings. I have truly been so blessed in my life. Sure, I've had my ups and downs. But truthfully, I am happiest when I am trying to live a righteous life.
I'm so grateful that the Lord sees fit to give me the blessings that I enjoy. I think it is easier to follow a loving, caring God than a purely vengeful one. Sure, the other stuff happens to, like a person ending up with punishment because they didn't keep the commandments, but again, they shall eat by the fruit of their doings. And just like any parent, I'm sure God wants to reward good behavior more than bad behavior.
I love Him. I really do.
