“And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require 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, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good?
Isn't this amazing? Obedience to the Word of the LORD is for my good. A life that honors the LORD, God, the Almighty is for my good? A life lived in the fear of the LORD is for my good?
This is a life-changing thought for I thought I was doing this to please Him, for His honor and glory. Well, yes, but! He wants the best for me and knows that a life structured according to His Word is the best of all possible lives for me. He loves me.
