Obeying the Commands of God

Scripture 1 Chron 24:19 This was the schedule of their service for coming into the house of the LORD according to their ordinance by the hand of Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

Observation: When you do as the Lord commands things go well for us. In the old testament you see it over and over again. When the Israelites followed the Lord things went well, but as soon as they rebelled situations went bad. The same is true today. If we follow God’s commands and obey His laws things will have a purpose and God will watch over us no matter what the situation, but when we decide to stray and not follow God’s commands God will leave us to our own destruction until we return to Him.

Application: I need to always be in God’s will and listen to Him. I need to get rid of this pride that holds me back and humble myself before Him. I need to recognize God as my Master and as His servant I need to listen to each command and serve Him with my whole heart every day.

Prayer: My Lord I am an unworthy servant, but I come before you in hope that you will change me. Give me that heart of flesh and an obedient spirit that I may serve you in the way that will please you. I love you and want to honor you as your servant each day.
