In a recent blog, I mentioned the importance of the little word "all" in scripture! Notice it in this verse in Deuteronomy 10:12:
"And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in All His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the Lord thy God with All thy heart and with All thy soul." Moses seems to be wanting the children of Israel to see and understand that God's commandments are not grievous. Rather, it is a great privilege to give Jesus everything -- to love and serve Him with All our heart, soul, mind and strength!
It is wonderful to know that All of God's commandments are for our good and His glory!
It makes me think of the beautiful scripture in Micah 6:6-8: "Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
Truly, "It is Glory just to Walk with Him!"
