—Deuteronomy 10:10-15
by: Irene B. Saunders.
In this passage we again see the importance of obeying God. The children of Israel where chosen to be the people of God, known by their obedience to the one true God. They were instructed to fear him, walk in his ways, love him, and serve him with all their hearts and souls. This is what he expects from us today, as well. Jesus died to redeem us and make us his own. He deserves our service and devotion. If we do our part, we will also “go in an possess the land” (v. 11) as did the Israelites. The land we seek is not only of this world, but the one to come—eternity with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We need to live each day remembering we are chosen people.
