Bible Verse of The Day – 2-17-23

Deuteronomy 5:32-33 (NKJV) 32 “Therefore you shall be careful to do as the Lord your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33 You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

If we look at these two verses, we can see that they are a formula for success, handed directly from Moses to the Israelites.

The success he was steering them toward was not what most people would view as ordinary, everyday success. It was, however, a “recipe” for a successful walk with God.

Inside of this recipe were some key ingredients that were necessary for the formula to “work properly”.

The liability for all this working as intended was squarely on the shoulders of the individuals.

They should “be careful to do as the Lord their God had commanded them”.

They needed to heed His instructions, endeavoring in their hearts to follow what He had told them as closely as possible, being careful not to stray to the left or the right.

If they walked “in all the ways which the Lord their God had commanded”, He promised that all would be well with them, and that they would prolong their days in the land which He had promised them.

God wanted their hearts to desire to do the right things; the things that pleased Him.

And this is what He asks of us today.

He simply wants our whole hearts; nothing more and nothing less.

He desires us to put Him first in everything, seeking Him wholeheartedly.

He wants us to burn with passion for our relationship with Him.

If we can burn with passion for a carnal, earthly relationship, why can’t we burn with passion for our relationship with the One who created us and gave us the breath of life?

Let us all ponder on this and then take whatever actions are necessary to make it happen.

Amen.
