Follow God’s Path

Main Verse: Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy. Deuteronomy 5:33 (NLT)

Song to meditate on: Show me you’re Way – Darlene Zschech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvOuEVA2h2Q) 

     

Have you ever been invited to a party or a function where the directions were sent to you but you forgot them or you left them at home because you thought you knew where you were going? You then got lost and found yourself somewhere that is considered dangerous?

In today’s scripture we see where Moses was speaking to the Israelites and impressing upon them to stay on the path that God has commanded them to follow. That way they would live long and prosperous in the land that God was about to give them. The background of this scripture saw where Moses had just given the people of Israel God’s standard for right living - the Ten Commandments.

You see ladies, we are still expected to obey God’s standard for right living and like the Israelites when we disobey them we can suffer dire consequences.

 How many times have we found our self at a place in our lives where we have to stop and ask how did I get here? If we should be honest with ourselves we would admit that if we obeyed God’s commandments we would not be where we are today.

One of the commandments state that we should not commit adultery, however there are many broken homes, depressed women, dysfunctional children and unhappy people in our world all because of acts of adultery committed by unsuspecting couples who thought that one act would not have any consequences.

There are many other examples like a little white lie, acts of fornication, yielding to temptation, disrespecting our husbands, not loving our wives, provoking our children and so on. All of these are examples of turning away from God’s path that leads to us not living a long and prosperous life.

So ladies today, I encourage you to walk in God’s path, obey his commandments so that you may live a long and prosperous life.

Have A God Filled Day Ladies.

Let’s Pray:

Wonderful savior and father, we thank you for laying out a path of right living for us. Grant us today the desire to live according to your commandments so that we may live a long and prosperous life.

In Jesus Name

Amen.
