You shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God

Deuteronomy 8:6-9
“Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. 7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; 9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.

A wonderful reminder of a sermon today. The topic was that God's commandments are to be followed out of joy, because His commandments are essentially blessings because they will be leading to blessings. There are many things that God has revealed to us through the Bible and there is no excuse to say we don't know God's will. One of the things I remembered are:
- Control our tongue. Use it for blessings instead of cursing.
- Keep control of our fleshly, lustful nature, and let the Holy Spirit dominate over our natural man as God intended.
- The Golden Rule - Do unto others what we would have others do unto us.
