Choosing to Obey the Lord
Moses has come to a solemn and
climatic moment in his 3rd & final
address to the nation – the time for
a recommitment to the covenant.
He reminds the new generation
that the potential for God’s richest
blessing awaits them in the land,
as well as His severest judgment.
It all depends on their response
to the demands of the covenant.
Moses delivers the challenge: I have
set before u life & death; choose life.
Lord, we will Love & Obey You:
If you listen to these commands
of the Lord your God and carefully
obey them, the Lord will make you
the head & not the tail (Deut 28:13)
Return to the Lord… and the Lord
your God will circumcise your heart
to love the Lord your God with all
your heart… I have set before you
life and death, blessings & cursing;
(so) choose life that you…may live;
that u may love the Lord your God,
that you may obey His voice and
that you may cling to Him, for
He is your life (Deut 30:2-6, 19-20)
Father God, You have a good plan
and carved a path for me to follow.
But there’s an enemy who desires
I lose my way and seeks to destroy
the destiny You’ve planned for me.
I purpose to obey Your commands
and look forward to Your blessings.
Thank You Lord for the promise to
make me the head & not the tail.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, You had challenged Israel
to choose obedience and thereby
continue to experience blessings.
Lord, when we stray, cause us to
return to You & change our hearts.
Transform us into people who obey
out of gratitude rather than demand.
And help us to choose to obey You
in our life situation again and again.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, knowing Your Word is not
enough for we need to Obey You.
Help us to keep covenant with You
by obeying Your Word for we love U.
Help us to Commit to Obey to
Avoid Curses but Gain Blessings.
Help us Return to You when we fail
so that we can be transformed.
Grant us the grace as we express
our love by obeying You. Amen.
