Day 12: Responding to God's Commands

How do you react to God’s commands? Do you resent them or do you treasure them? You see the contemporary attitude about anyone who tells you what to do is “They’re my enemy.” Any form of authority is to be suspected and probably rejected. God says, “I want you to treasure My commands. I want you to receive them as the most valuable thing.” They’re not given to make life difficult for us, they’re given to make us successful and to preserve us. And it’s not sufficient to merely hear His commands. You have to treasure them within you.
