Deuteronomy 30:11-20
Today's Passage: Deuteronomy 30:11-20
Our passage today could be summarized like this: God’s commands are for our good, and we are given the opportunity to choose them or choose our own way. God’s way leads to life and peace and blessing; our way leads to destruction and death.
Obeying God is for our good. See what Jesus says in John 10:10—
Read those verses in light of what Jesus would go on to say in a few chapters—
Note, that obedience is not a transaction—God’s blessing is still from his grace and mercy.
My prayer for all of us is that we would choose to obey Jesus, so that we can experience the abundant life he has promised to those who love him.
