“你们要走在耶和华你们的神吩咐你们走的路上，使你们可以活着，可以享福，并且使你在将要占领为业的地上，可以长久居住。””
申命记 5:33
“You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you will possess.”
Deuteronomy 5:33
Like the ancient Israelites who frequently failed to do what God asked them to do, we too often go our own way. Yet obedience is a desired result of our deepening relationship with God. Moses told the people, “Be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you . . . . Walk in obedience to all that He has commanded you” (Deut. 5:32–33). Long after Moses, Jesus urged His disciples to trust Him and to love one another.
This is still the kind of surrender of our hearts that leads to our well-being. As the Spirit helps us to obey, it is good to remember that He “works in [us] to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose” (Phil. 2:13).
Lord,
thank You for second and third chances.
Please help us to want to follow Your ways and to follow through in obedience.
The closer we walk with God, the clearer we see His guidance.
