—Deuteronomy 5:23-33
by: Gabrielle Watt.
Moses reiterated how Israel’s leaders and elders had asked him to act as a mediator between them and God. They responded, saying they would “listen and obey” (v.27, NIV). So, Moses took on that role and was given the task of teaching Israel to follow the commandments God had given. He had the opportunity to be in the presence of God and to listen to the heart of the Lord. God’s desire was for Israel to prosper through obedience. It sounds so simple—obey God so you and your children will live a long, prosperous life. Do you believe God wants you to prosper? Are you obeying Him?
