Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess...
God desires that we obey his will, and that will is not arbitrary, impulsive, or unfair. Our Father wants us to reflect his character, rest in his blessing, and receive his strength to restore our freedom as he delivers us from bondage. Let's not look at his call for us to obey him as merely something we must do but as our opportunity to step into the life of blessing that we discover in God's grace. God commands us to obey him so that we can find the new frontiers of grace where he longs to lead us.
Video Commentary...
We've included Phil's ToGather video from four years ago as an added blessing to our verse today:
Lord and Father, thank you for revealing your will and calling me to obey it. I know you desire to share your blessings with me and bring me into your eternal presence. I choose to obey so I can have the strength to step into the life you long to give me as your obedient child. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.
