“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you but [reverently] to fear the Lord your God, [that is] to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with your entire being, to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good?” Deuteronomy 10:12-13 ->me: This is my memory verse for the week and it has been a gift to memorize and dwell on its truths. What does the Lord REQUIRE of me? 1) Ultimately, to FEAR Him. “Walk in all His ways” means to know His ways and you cannot do that without searching what those ways are in His word and through the great teachers. 2) To LOVE Him. Love Him above all other things. 3) To SERVE Him. Serving with all aspects of the person He has created me to be – with my mind, my heart, my body, and my soul. 4) To OBEY Him. Keeping the commandments and respecting His truths by staying away from evil and wickedness. FEAR, LOVE, SERVE, and OBEY. I only have to sit and unpack this every once in a while throughout the day to stay in check with who He wants me to be.
