Obedience!

For Wednesday, September 11, 2024:

Deuteronomy 6:2 VOICE: “You are to fear God and obey His rules and commands, just as I’m teaching them to you now. Do this your whole lives—you, your children and your grandchildren—and you’ll live in the land a long time.”

The Lord, speaking through the Prophet Moses, promises a long life as our reward for loyalty. And in the 10 Commandments, we’re promised a long life if we honor our parents. It seems as if our days may be increased through obedience. But that’s not the end of the story.

Obedient people are useful to God. There is much to be accomplished as we share the Good News of forgiveness and redemption through our Savior Jesus, and we are presently the hands and feet of our Lord. Believers have all been appointed to the “Jesus Team,” because God knows well our capacity for usefulness.

When you’re still accomplishing goals for the Kingdom, your days will be increased. When your work is finished, God will call you home, saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
