Deuteronomy 12:1-28

WORSHIP IN GOD’S WAY

Keywords 12:5

But you are to seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling. To that place you must go;

 

1. Worship at the place God will choose (1-14)

 God called his people to worship him. He called them to demolish idol worship

in the land. They were not to worship God in the way of the people of the land.

They also should not worship God as they saw fit, everyone doing as they wanted.

The LORD called them to worship him only. God promised to make his dwelling

among them; he called them to worship the LORD in the way and at the place he

provided.

 

2. So that it may go well with you (15-28)

 The LORD allowed his people to enjoy his provision, but they should be mindful

of God in all things. When they ate, they should remember God’s commands. They

should remember God’s servants, the Levites. They should be mindful that their

bountiful provision is from God and for him. Their life is not just for eating, but it is

for the worship of God. God called his people to offer themselves to his service

through their obedience. Then it would always go well for them.

 

Prayer Lord, thank you for the privilege of serving you. Bless me to be mindful of

God every moment and serve you in your way.
