—Deuteronomy 7:7-11
by: Katie Brown.
God gave His chosen people His commandments to help them, not harm them. We are tempted to see God’s law as a restriction, but when we love God and accept His love we grow to cherish the protection of His commandments. As God rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, God has saved us from the slavery of sin. We can rejoice in knowing Jesus paid our price for our disobedience. As we give our lives to God, we can honor Him in following His Word and have peace in knowing He will bless our desire to follow His will for our lives.
