“This day the Lord, your God, commands you to observe these states and decrees. Be careful, then, to observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. Today you are making this agreement with the Lord: he is to be your God and you are to walk in his ways and observe his statues, commandments and decrees, and to hearken to his voice.” Deuteronomy 26:16-17. St. Francis de Sales said, “The devil doesn’t fear austerity, but rather he fears holy obedience.”

Let us pray, Lord God, Moses invites us to be careful; to apply all our heart and all our soul. We are sorry Lord when we are careless and do things half-heartedly instead of being fully engaged in fulfilling Your law. We commit that from now on You shall be definitely our God and we will walk in Your ways without meandering to the left or to the right. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
