Please read Deuteronomy 27.

Meditate on verses 9-10.

 

Then Moses and the Levitical

priests spoke to all Israel, saying,

 "Be silent and listen, O Israel! This day you have

become a people for the LORD your God.

 You shall therefore obey the LORD your God and do

 His commandments and His

 statutes which I command you today."

 

Proof of belonging to God is obedience to Him.  This principle is taught throughout Scripture in both the Old and the New Testaments.  Jesus Himself said:

 

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing

 them in the name of the Father and the Son and

 the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have

commanded you.  And remember, I am with

you always, to the end of the age."

—Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)

 

Moses told the people to write all the law of God on stones (vs. 2-3, 8).  Consider getting a journal and writing His commands when you see them books like Matthew or the 21 New Testament letters. 

 

Pray Deuteronomy 27:8-10 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, write on ___________ and my heart

all the words of Your law very distinctly.

Let us be silent and listen to You because

we are a people for You, LORD our God. 

Help us obey You and do Your commandments

 and statutes which You command us.

In Your name, Jesus~”
