This coming week's memory verse is Deuteronomy 10:12...
And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to Him, to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul…(NIV)
One of my favorite people in the bible is Ruth. When I think about Ruth I can’t help but be amazed, and incredibly thankful for her attitude and obedience. Ruth left her family and their gods and sought the protection of the God of Israel, the one true God. And I am sure being married to Boaz, she strengthened into a Godly woman, and an amazing worshipper! And like Ruth, we must look at ourselves and leave behind those things that keep us from worshipping the one true God. Is there an attitude or an activity that doesn’t honor God in our lives? Are there possessions that take God’s place? Is there a sin in our lives that block Him from our sight? Is God calling you to leave your home and go to a new place - making you step out of your comfort zone? Worshipping Him involves sacrifice…but remember, He “gives His riches to all who ask for them” (Romans 10:12)
Think about those things (activities, possessions, attitudes ) that God is calling you to leave behind today. Obey God. If any is not worthy to present to Him then put them away.
