TOPIC: GOD COMMANDS US TO KEEP HIS PRECEPTS DILIGENTLY.
TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 10:12-13
MONDAY DECEMBER 11TH
Key verse: Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
When you fail, God said it is because you were not diligent, and not thoughtful in your actions. That is why you failed, that is why you did what you did. You were not diligent, not careful, and not at peace in yourself. You did not take time to pray through and judge it before you took that action. That is why you got it wrong. But, thou hath commanded us to keep all thy precepts diligently. Why? So, we should not be defiled. We should walk in His law. So, we should keep His testimonies. Again, so, we should seek Him with our whole heart. Again, so, we should do no iniquity but walk in His ways. To do all these, diligence is required.
God also demands that our love for Him should be with all our hearts, souls and minds. We are to fear the Lord, to walk in all His ways and to love Him and to serve Him with all our heart and with all our soul. There is no wisdom saying, “You know if you are working with this church, in fact if you are not wise, they will cheat you. If you are working with these people you have to be watchful. In fact, how much are they paying me?” If you are doing like this, carnal wisdom has come to the things you are doing. If your whole heart is not involved in God's work, you have failed.
You have failed in the standard although you are pointing the cause of your failure to the church. You are saying the cause of your failure is the leader. The cause of your failure could be anybody else or any circumstances, but the whole thing is that you have failed. If you are asked, “Please why did you fail your examination? And you answered, “I planned to wake up and study that particular area in the night but I overslept”. Well, whatever was the cause, the result is that you have failed. Has the leadership given to you over the women, youth, children or whatever section in your village, town or city wherever the Lord has put you made you fail? Is your reason that you have too many children to care for. God needs the whole of your heart, the whole of your soul, in the love of God, and in the service of God.
Thought for the day: If your heart is not involved in God's work, you have failed.
Song for the day: Create in me a clean heart O God…
Bible reading for the day: Hosea 9-11; Revelation 2
