Love, walk, obey, and serve, these are words given to the Israelite tribes living on the east side of the Jordan River. Joshua, Moses’ replacement, told this to them. If we ever need to adhere to a set of principles, these are it. If we follow these commands, our lives will be enriched, enhanced, protected, and fulfilled by God. If He tells us what to do, and we do it, shouldn’t our lives turn out as He planned them to turn out? Learning to manage our selfishness is key. It’s God’s way or our way. We must chose every day. The trajectory of our lives is based on how well we adhere to these principles.
5 But be very careful to obey all the commands and the instructions that Moses gave to you. Love the Lord your God, walk in all His ways, obey His commands, hold firmly to Him, and serve Him with all your heart and all your soul.” 6 So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went home.
