VERSE:
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land
of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other
gods before me.
-- Exodus 20:2-3

THOUGHT:
The order of obedience is always the same: God reveals himself,
God blesses us, and then God asks us to respond. In other words,
God blesses us first, and then asks us to obey. God is all-powerful
and supreme. He could demand our obedience just because of who he
is, but he doesn't. He has chosen to reveal himself through
Scripture, through nature, and through his acts of salvation. He
wants us to know him and respond to him. Our obedience may be
difficult. Our call to obey may sometimes be hard for us to
understand. However, we know it comes from a Father who has paid an
enormous price to redeem us and who has already proven himself
faithful.
PRAYER:
Holy and Almighty God, you are worthy of all glory and honor. I
realize that your demands that I should be holy, that I should obey
your Word, and that I should seek your will are all based on your
desire to love me and bless me. I want to serve you with an
undivided heart. I want my obedience to be offered as joyously and
graciously to you as your blessings have been shared with me. In
Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
