O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
- Deuteronomy 5:29
Can you hear the longing of God for His people to draw near to Him in the passage above? This was said to the children of Israel thousands of years ago, yet God continues His tireless attempts to draw us away from sin and to Himself.
Every sin has a consequence. Every decision has an outcome. He longs for us to stay away from the evil clutches of sin and draw near to His presence.
Ask yourself these questions:
Today, make the decision to draw away from sin, honor God with your life, and obey His commandments.
"Obedience is love fulfilling every command. It is love expressing itself."
- E.M. Bounds
