Deut 10:12a And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God….
Lord, I’m always asking for flashing neon signs. Thank You for the flashing neon of this chapter. What do You want from me? You spell it out right here (among other places), and I am thankful. You want me to love You, reverence You, so I obey, not out of fear of punishment, but because I love You so much that I don’t want to disappoint You. And I do love You like that, Lord.
Deut 10:12b …to walk in obedience to Him, to love Him….
You want me to be obedient to You because I trust that You know more than I do, that You have my best interests at heart, that what You want me to do is for my good and Your glory. You want me to love You and love others, to be Your hands and feet in this world. You want me to put aside my own way and honestly say “They will be done.” I do love You like that, Lord.
Deut 10:12c …to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul….
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for Your instruction and guidance. Thank You for making Your expectations clear and for loving me so much, despite my humanity, my flaws. Help me draw closer to You every minute of every day, Lord. Amen.
Deut 10:13 …and to observe the LORD’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
