Scripture Leviticus 18: [5] Keep my decrees and laws, for the man who obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD.<\/p>\n
Observation: First I need to know God\u2019s laws and decrees and I can\u2019t plead innocent on that because God has shown them to be through His word. Now that I know God\u2019s laws am I obeying them, all of them? I seem to obey more when it\u2019s convenient but not all of the time and to obey only part of the time is disobeying. Obeying God\u2019s laws should be a way of life and not a practice. From the time I get up and by the time I go to bed it should be automatic that I\u2019m walking with God and being obedient to Him. That should be my way of life.<\/p>\n
Application: I must continue each day to be in God\u2019s word and gain knowledge of what God desires of me. Then I need to change my lifestyle so it is not a struggle to obey God but just second nature, because I want my Lord to be pleased. He is my Lord and I have no rights, but only a desire to serve Him and that\u2019s the way it should be.<\/p>\n
Prayer: My Lord and my God continue to put your word in my heart and that I would embrace it always and be a doer of your word and not only a hearer. You deserve the best I have each day every day, give me wisdom and strength to live a rewarding life for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
