If I told you you had to do something a certain way, or it would not work, would you listen? Or would you try to do it your way? God created the Heavens and the earth. He has written the rules. He has established its boundaries. Why is it that we feel we can do it “our way”? If God wrote the rules, and as it states here, are “for your (our) own good”, why do we fight them so much? The answer is because it’s in our nature. And the only way of managing that nature is through Him, why wouldn’t we listen?
12 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases Him, and love Him and serve Him with all your heart and soul. 13 And you must always obey the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good.
