Dare to Walk in God’s Law

Scripture Neh 10:29 these joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and an oath to walk in God’s Law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes:

Observation: A curse and an oath, which means if they don’t do what they say they will do, which is to walk in God’s law they are inviting a curse on them. We expect a blessing if we do what God calls us to do, but how often do we tell God if we don’t do according to your will Lord please place a curse on me. Just the thought is frightening. That is how serious we should be we should have no doubt that we will follow through on keeping God’s law if by some chance we don’t we deserve a curse, which we do. God has given us everything and ask us to follow his word, which is good for us, how can we do anything but.

Application: I need to stop taking so lightly my promises to God. I tell my Lord every day that I want to do His will and be the man that will glorify Him, but the amount of effort I put toward that goal is so minimal it deserves to be cursed. My number one commitment needs to be to my Lord and my God. I need to make an oath that I will follow my Master’s commands and do what He calls me to do or pay the consequences.

Prayer: My Lord this laziness is so hard to get past. Help give me the strength and will power to do what is in my heart. I want to please you and glorify your name I need strength. I want to make an oath to you that from this day forward I will do just that give me the courage to make and keep this oath in glory to you.
