WHAT THE LORD ASKS OF YOU
Keywords 10:12
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,
1. Not
to destroy but to restore you to the Lord (1-11)
Despite the stiff-neck Israelites, God heard
Moses’ prayer. God wrote the Ten
Commandments
again to be put in the Ark. Eleazar succeeded Aaron as a priest.
The Levites
carried the ark. The Lord became their inheritance again. God’s will
was to
restore them. God commissioned them to take possession of the Promised
Land.
Praise God who sent Jesus to restore sinners to be royal priests and a holy
nation and
inherit the kingdom of God.
2.
Circumcise your heart and serve the Lord (12-22)
To the Lord God belong the heavens and the
earth. Yet he loved Israel above all
the
nations. He prospered them from seventy until they became as numerous
as the
stars in the sky. Now they should circumcise their hearts, love God with
all their
hearts, and love their neighbors (the foreigners, the fatherless and the
widows) as
themselves.
Prayer Lord, thank you for restoring me to
you through Jesus. Circumcise my
heart to
love you with all my heart and my neighbors as myself.
One Word God restores
