We are all very familiar with what God provides. However, most of what God provides is conditional on our obedience. So, what does God require of us? God tells us in Deuteronomy 10:12 & Micah 6:8:
- Fear and respect God (stay VERY FAR away from OMG, etc.).
- Walk in all His Ways (know and obey the Bible).
- Love Him (pray and tell Him).
- Serve Him (bring Glory to His name by worshiping Him in spirit and truth and serving the least in the Kingdom).
- Do justice (by doing right by all – be nice, not because others are nice but because you are).
- Love kindness (being friendly, generous and considerate).
- Walk humbly before God (remain as an unworthy fool before God, 1 Cor.1:28; 4:10).
This week I watched a couple of our Summit seniors taking on a tough job in the September heatwave. As they were fixing a break in our blacktop, a local school was closed due to excessive heat (https://t.ly/3VzJW).
Some of the positive comments I saw, that bring Glory to God, are:
- Ella Turner- “A wonderful family.”
- Renuka Devadason- “Love the Carnes family!!”
- Ken Carter- “A beautiful, beautiful family. They are just like brothers and sister to me.”
- Lucy Carole Ferguson- “They are The Best!”
- Sheryl Herald- “Hard work and worse in this heat! Thank you Dave and Jeff (and Nancy)”
- Billie Rogers- “Agreed!!!!”
Friend, are you doing what God requires of you?
