[05:02, 1/20/2020] Mr Karanja SPIMAC: voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
This is a great promise from God who reigns over the nations. Obedience to God’s voice brings blessings while disobedience brings curses. The children of Israel had a chance to be elevated above other nations if they would hearken unto His voice. Obedience ushered them to victories while disobedience brought calamities.
To hearken is to incline, to heed, to be attentive, and to attend to what is being uttered. It is not just a matter of hearing what is God saying but also doing what He says.
We should endeavor to know Him and do His will. The doing part is always a challenge but it is the precondition of the promise. Obeying Him will elevate us and place us on a higher ground.
Let’s invest in obeying our God. If we fully obey , He will lift us up from one glory to another. He will take us up to the highest levels of our lives. We shall always be the head and not the tail.
