What Does God Expect Of Me?

Chocolate Hills, Bohol, Philippines

"And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?" (Dueteronomy 10:12:13).

Often we ask, "What does God expect of me?" Here Moses gives a summary that is simple in form and easy to remember. Here are the essentials: (1) Listen carefully to what God says. (2) Obey His commands. (3) Love and worship Him with all your heart. How often we complicate faith with man-made rules, regulations, and requirements. Are you frustrated and burned-out from trying hard to please God? Concentrate on His requirements---to respect, follow, and love Him---and fine peace.
