OBEDIENCE

I READ: Deuteronomy 28:1-14

It is written in the Old Testament that the rise and fall of an Israelite King was determined by their obedience to the Lord. If they were obedient in having fellowship with the Lord and followed His ways, then the King and the nation he lead (the Israelites) will be blessed with peace and abundance. On the contrary, if they worshipped idols and diverted from God’s ways, they will be easily defeated by their enemies and live in suffering. Therefore, the key of victory and God’s blessing was obedience. Obedience in the Lord shows that we are submissive and we honor the Lord. It also shows that we are willing to do what He desires. How much we love the Lord also determines the level of our obedience.

I DECLARE: Ephesians 6:5 – Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

I DO : What action am I going to take after meditating on the Word of God?

I PRAY : Pray as guided by the Holy Spirit.
