Walk in Obedience

Walk in obedience to all 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.—Deuteronomy 5:33

This past Fall, my wife and I sent our oldest daughter to college. In the weeks leading up to her departure, we peppered her with advice on the importance of making time to study, eating healthy food, and getting adequate sleep. We wanted her to flourish in college, and we would not be there to help.

In some small way, our experience was similar to what Moses must have felt. Israel was poised to enter the Promised Land, but he would not be joining them. The Book of Deuteronomy includes his last words to the people of Israel before they embarked on this new era. He wanted them to remember what the Lord had done for them and be faithful to His commands. In this study, we get to listen to this message and reflect on the ways obedience shapes our own walk with God.
