—Deuteronomy 6:16-19

Do you think of the commands of God as a burden or a gift? Depending on the translation, God’s instructions here are “given” or “commanded.” But either wording tells us that the commands are a revelation of God’s desires to us. Moses stated that “success” in the new land was tied to following God’s revealed way of life—a parting of the heavens to illuminate our way in this confusing world. Father, thank you for loving us so much that you show us the way you designed this world to work. Help us to treasure your commands as a precious gift!
