Deuteronomy 28:1 “And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God.
Deuteronomy 11:13 “And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul
Exodus 15:26 saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, your healer.”
Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding.
Isaiah 1:19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
Isaiah 55:2-3 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant
Luke 11:28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
Listen diligently to Me, willing and obedient, do what is right in His eyes, give ear to His commandments, serve Him with all your heart and soul. How can these words from scripture be taken any other way than how they are presented.
Listen diligently – is a choice to want to hear God speak into your heart, soul, mind, life.
Be willing and obedient – is a choice to act on what God is speaking into your life.
Doing what is right in His eyes – is a choice that actively searches God’s word with a desire to grow in understanding and knowledge so that your life honors and glorifies God.
Serve Him – is a choice that recognizes worldly stuff and self and chooses to serve Jesus Christ for His honor and glory.
It is all a choice of the heart, mind, and soul. Don’t be neglectful or complacent with choices of serving and honoring God.
