LIVE ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD.
Bible Reading: DEUTRONOMY 11:13-21
“Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.”
Man has a tendency to forget previous experiences and keep repeating past mistakes. Often, the Israelites forgot God’s blessings upon their lives. They complained incessantly and rebelled frequently.
God knew the state of their hearts and therefore, warned them through Moses that they must not forget where they were coming from, and avoid worship of other gods. Were that to happen, they would attract God’s anger. He would cause severe suffering to come upon them. To avoid this, they must take His word to heart, remember it always and allow it to moderate their lives. The Israelites were required not only to keep God’s word, but teach their children continuously to remember His word and obey it. For effect, they should write the word down where they can read and remember it always. This is the only way the Lord will give them and their children long life, and bless them so much as to give them “the days of heaven upon the earth”.
Believers abide in the Lord by learning, internalising and meditating on the word of God. You will save yourself a lot of heartache, trouble, pain and bitter experiences in life by living according to His precepts. His expectations from you are easy to fulfil. The Lord is not a task master. He is meek and loving in nature.
You must make up your mind that whatever it takes, you will never deviate from what the Lord commands, nor would you neglect to impress on your family the necessity of allowing our lives to be governed by God’s words. Indeed, therein lies our blessings.
Only those who live by God’s rule, will receive His largesse.
