"What does the Lord require of you?"

The title question was asked of the Israelites, but is applicable to us today.

This comes from Deuteronomy 10:12: "And now, Israel, what does the Lord require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today, for your good?"

This kind of love and commitment will solve a lot of our other questions and problems (notice the "for your good" at the end of the statement). Putting our total trust in Him will take us far, actually far beyond this life. It will make us spiritual in this life and a happy spirit beyond the grave.

He goes on to say in verse 14, "Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it." He owns it all, created it all, and gave it to us for our use. It only makes sense that we put our trust in Him as our Father, and in Jesus.

God is great, God's word is great! Let's all rejoice in it this week. Thanks for reading.
