FAITH CAPSULE: Be living in the word of God to behave the word of God.
Deuteronomy 28
Obedience to the word of God is to be living the word of God, to behave the word of God.
Obedience to the word of God is not a choice but a must.
Among the right choices to make in life is to live obediently by the word of God.
Also, among the wrong choices to make in life is not to live disobediently to the word of God.
In obedient to the word of God are the blessings of God, while disobedient to the word of God will provoke curses.
The same word of God yesterday is the same word of God today and forever.
In blessings, the word records, “…if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 28:1-2)
In curses, the word records, “If you do not carefully observe all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, THE LORD YOUR GOD, 59 then the Lord will bring upon you and your descendant’s extraordinary plagues—great and prolonged plagues—and serious and prolonged sicknesses.” (Deuteronomy 28:58-59)
The point here is to live a life of obedience to the word of God.
All should know to observe the word of God.
With understanding, to observe (seeing and seeing) the word of God shall see in the word of God.
One that observes to see in the word of God shall receive the word of God.
In life, it is what is received that belongs to one.
The word of God identifies what it takes to know and obey the word God.
God spoke to Joshua after the death of Moses and gave insight into what it takes to know and obey the word of God stating.
Joshua 1:8 records, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
Meditating, not memorizing the word of God Day and night, shall be able to observe (see) and do according to the word of God.
Without exception, all should live life according to the word of God.
Disobedience is a passage to self-destruction.
Obedient to the command of God is not just with the mouth, not lip service.
Without the fear of God, there will be no obedience to His word.
Obedience and fear of God should be residing in the heart of all, a way of living life.
Constantly hear, see in the word of God to receive and become of the word of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to be living life by His word.
