Deuteronomy 11:8 New International Version (NIV)
8 Observe therefore all the commands I am giving
you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land
that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,
God's desire that we obey his will is not arbitrary,
impulsive, or demanding. He simply wants us to reflect his character, find his
blessings, and receive his strength. Let's not look at obedience merely as
something we must do, but as a blessing we get to discover. God gives us
commands to obey, principles to guide us, and righteousness to seek so that we
can rest in his blessing, live in his strength, and find the new frontiers
where he longs to lead us.
Thought for today: What does obedience look like and
what does it mean to me?
