Deuteronomy  5:29 “Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all my commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!”

Dear God,

My grateful thanks, for You not only spoke through Moses to the children of Israel, but speak to all Your children of every age.

I through the Holy Spirit working within me, I desire to keep all Your commandments, and believe that in the power of the Holy Spirit and in the love of the One True God, I  will be able to reverence You absolutely and be able to live as You desired of the children of Israel.  For Jesus in His life and words gave evidence that these principles are still valid for Spiritual Israel; as Your followers became known as after the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Moses again relays one of his messages from You in Deuteronomy 5:32 “Therefore you shall be careful to do as the Lord Your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.”  V33 “You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord Your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land you shall possess.”  This is a blessed expectation that I have, Lord, and I thank You it.

Jesus comes very soon to earth again, and my hope is for an eternal home.  Please today and all days, be my strength, so I will follow and obey You truly until then.

Amen
