“Choose to love the Lord your God and to obey him and to cling to him, for he is your life and the length of your days. You will then be able to live safely in the land the Lord promised your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
Deuteronomy 30:20 (TLB)
The third important decision you need to make in determining your destiny is the decision to obey God and to do His Word. God will never force you to obey Him because He respects the human will, so He will give you the opportunity to choose to obey Him. This makes the place of decision a place of committal to go God's way.
One day, David made a decision to commit adultery with Bathsheba and also to kill Uriah her husband as a result the Lord told him that the sword will not depart from his house. See 2 Samuel 12:9-12.
You are where you are right now because of your decisions. Where you will be tomorrow will be because of your decisions. There are people who are already in hell because of some careless decisions they made contrary to the Word of God.
When you make the decision to always obey God and to do His Word, then you can lay claims on all the blessings in Deuteronomy 28:1-13. They are the reserved blessings for all those who have chosen to obey and serve God. Your part is to obey Him and do what He tells you to do. His part is to set you on high above all nations.
Instruction.
Make a commitment today to obey and serve God all your days by praying this prayer, “Father in the Name of Jesus, I am your child, I have made the decision to serve the Lord Jesus. He is the One I will serve; spirit, soul and body. I am willing to be willing to do whatever He wants me to do. I surrender my will in the Name of Jesus, and I declare by faith that I receive grace to live out a life of obedience, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
