Obedience

Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so
that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that
you are crossing the Jordan to possess...
 -- Deuteronomy 11:8



God's desire that I obey his will is not arbitrary, impulsive, or demanding. He simply wants me to reflect his character, find his blessings, and receive his strength. Keep me  from looking at obedience merely as something I must do, but as a blessing I get to discover and benefit from EVERY DAY because I am following your will.

LORD and Father, thank you for revealing your will and calling me to obey it. I know your desire is to share your blessings with me and bring me into your eternal presence.
