In Deuteronomy 5:32-33, we see Moses talking to elders and leaders of the tribes of that time. Right after he had told them about the Ten Commandments he said this...
"So be careful to do what The Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or the left. Walk in all the way that The Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess."
Real quick, I just want to mention that Moses is an inspiration of mine. He would complain to God about how awful of a speaker he was- he didn't even think he could lead a country out of Egypt and slavery. BUT his obedience to God, and his walk with The Lord opened up amazing opportunities for him! God put the words in Moses mouth, God gave him the courage to lead a nation, and God gave Moses the blessing of being His messenger. We probably wouldn't have the Ten Commandments if it wasn't for Moses walk with The Lord.
From these two verses we can apply it to what we do today! Are we listening to what God is commanding us to do? Are we walking in all the ways of The Lord? Are we purely focused on God's plan and not our own? I know for me I often mix up who's plan is more important! The only way for us to prosper is for us to be obedient in God's commands.
Well - what does that look like exactly? What is His commands? God calls us to be servants and messengers in the "land we posse." Meaning we should go to our schools, our jobs, our households with Christ like hearts. Be the messenger in you land God calls you to lead in.
Tonight I pray, "Lord, help me to have an obedient heart to follow your ways. Thank you for opening doors and opportunities for me when I do obey to share the good news. Help me clearly see your commands for my life."
