Obedience

This came from my devotion time this morning in the Student's Life Application Bible. Made me think about how obedient I am to God.

Deuteronomy 8:1 tells us to obey Gods' commands. We do this by obeying God with:

• OUR HEART - By loving him more than any relationship, activity, achievement, or possession
• OUR WILL - By committing ourselves completely to him
• OUR MIND - By seeking to know him and his Word, so his principles and values form the foundation of all we think and do
• OUR BODY - By recognizing that our strengths,talents, and sexuality are given to us by God to be used for pleasure and fulfillment according to his rules, not ours
• OUR FINANCES - By deciding that all of the resources we have ultimately come from God, and that we are to be managers of them and not owners
• OUR FUTURE - By deciding to make service to God and people the main purpose of our life's work

"And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires you to fear him, to live according to his will, to love and worship him with all your heart and soul, and to obey the Lord's commands and laws that I am giving you today for your own good." (Deut. 10:12-13, NLT)
