"And now Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,"
- Deuteronomy 10:12
Dear Friends,
When you stop to consider all that God has done, He does not ask for much in return. Fearing God is to show reverence. It is a sincere, holy respect for the things of God. It is to hold in esteem the Word of God.
Walking with Lord is the acceptance of His instructions. Obedience. It is yielding our will to His. It is praying for the Lord to order our steps and walking by faith the path he sets before us. This we do even when we can't " see" our way.
The Lord requires our service. How does He want us to serve? He wants us to serve with gladness. (Psalms 100). This we do with the understanding that we are privileged to render service to the Almighty God.
Lord today we pray for righteous fear, that is reverence for you. We pray for obedience to Your Word. We pray for increased faith to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit. We pray for a renewed heart and mind to serve you with a spirit of gladness in all we do. It is in Jesus name we pray.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
