Teaching Notes
"Go," the LORD said to me, "and lead the people on their way, so that they may enter and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them."And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good? - Deuteronomy 10:11-13
Walk with God. Moses was given instruction to lead the people of Israel into a land he was about to give them to possess. God had a plan and a purpose for Moses life, just as he has a plan for your life and mine.
The question asked was, what does the Lord ask of you? The answer to that question is as follows:
1. Fear the Lord.
2. Walk in all his ways.
3. Love him.
4. Serve him wholeheartedly.
5. Obey the commands of God.
It is important to understand that in order for us to walk with God we have to hear his instructions and then obey them. What the Lord ask of us today is not different that what he asked of the people of Israel. He requires us to have a reverence fear of him (meaning see the seriousness of who God is and honor that). We are to walk not in some of his ways but in all of them. We are to love him and out of that love will come our willingness to serve him with our whole hearts.
I challenge you today, are you following God his way? Are you walking after all that he shows you or are you picking and choosing what is right for you? If you want to be the change avenue for your generation you will need to follow God his way. The question I ask you to think about this week is this, what can I do to improve my walk before God? Is there something I need to let go of or something I need to add to my walk with God?
Prayer: Lord this day we are thankful for you and what you give to us. We are thankful that you will equipped us to be able to walk right before you. If we hear you and listen to your words we can have a successful walk with you. Lord keep us and use us for this time. Amen.
