Want the key to a good, long life?
Deuteronomy 6:1-2 (NIV)
These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.
Do it God’s way … good for you, good for your children.
Good morning, Lord. Your rules for living work — makes sense: You created the world, You created me, You see the big plan and the little details. And yet, so often I think I know better; forgive my foolishness. I complain when things don’t go my way; forgive my selfishness. I try even harder to control things; forgive my arrogance.
Grant me the faith to trust Your plan, the self-discipline to walk in obedience, the assurance that Your way is best for me personally, for those around me and for those who come after me … a win-win-win all around, for now and forever, amen.
