Deuteronomy 5:29. “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!”
KEEP ALL MY COMMANDMENTS.
No other gods – not self or pleasure, fame or money Can claim first place in my life. The Eternal God – He is the One and Only – He is Love and Life and Light.
Images made by man are imaginary – The Living God should never thus be portrayed. An attempt by men to make God ordinary – Is to be rejected – God is greatly to be praised.
The name of the Lord is as a great high tower – Where the righteous can run to and be safe. Take that name in vain, and to your own great sorrow – You are held guilty for spurning His grace.
The last day of the week was established by God As a covenant between Israel and Him. They were to remember their deliverance by power and blood, A reminder of God’s mighty hand and arm.
Parents have a role no other people can fill – They are to train and guide their child. To dishonor and ignore them, not submitting your will – Will shorten your life because you do not yield.
To murder a person is to take a life God gave – You do not have the right to do this. Besides, he has a soul that may never be saved – And you will never from this be guiltless.
To look upon another lower than their face – Can lead to sin that controls your mind. When temptation arises, flee that place – You will surely a place of refuge find.
Taking from another is not just sin against them, But is also against a command of God. Your rights stop at home, it is serious when – You reach out with the dirty hand of greed.
Telling a lie to some people seems very trivial – But it’s not trivial to our God who hears. Every word, even exaggerations made so casual – Will come back some day far exceeding all your fears.
To want what belongs to another is different than stealing – Covetousness eats deep in the soul. It may never be known except by God what you are feeling – But once it starts you will never be whole.
These commands of the Lord are to awaken our hearts To the fact that there is a standard to meet. God has made plain that once sin gets its start – We are no longer from its consequence freed.
Our Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled completely the law – Substituting Himself on the cross for me. Now it has been made evident once through His Word I saw – By God’s grace alone, I am made free.
“O Righteous God, I give thanks and praise to Thee today for such a deliverance from the demands of the law. I failed in all points and yet the blessed Savior never once failed. I do believe He died in my place. I do believe Thou art able to look on Him and pardon me. I do believe that I am now “accepted in the Beloved.” I am very, very grateful and thank Thee in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
