What does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
- Deuteronomy 10:12 (NKJV)
Have you ever been in a situation where you literally did not know what to do, what was expected of you?
I am fairly certain that I am not the only one that has been there.
We have teachers, bosses, parents, children and even spouses that expect so much from us, but yet sometimes they do not clearly communicate what those expectations are.
We are very fortunate then, that God has set clear expectations for us and even went so far as to make sure they are written down so we can find the words when we are lost.
He doesn’t really require much, just to fear him (no, that is not shivering in your socks terrified fear, but a healthy respect for His authority) to walk with Him, to love and serve Him with all your heart and soul.
If you think back on some of the things you’ve done for others in your life, what God is asking isn’t tough at all.
And if you think His expectations are big, remember that His love for you is bigger.
