Verse 58… If you do not
carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the Lord your God… You will
be uprooted from the
land you are entering to possess.
Again, in previous devos we listed God’s blessings if we choose to
follow his commands, and now for days we’ve been looking at the loss we
experience when we choose not to follow Him.
I love the middle of this passage, “this glorious and awesome name
– the Lord your God.”
Herein lies the problem. We often do not realize how glorious and awesome God is.
We get stuck in questioning him constantly about the why’s of the things
we don’t understand. We spend most of
our prayer time moaning about the
problems and the worries on our minds, instead of glorifying the name of Jesus.
And finally, we get so discouraged that we question the very nature of God – his goodness.
If we want to be grounded, fruitful, and experiencing God’s
blessings in our lives, we cannot lose sight of who God is.
God is holy. God is
love. And he deserves and requires our
praise and our obedience.
