Exodus chapter 7 verse 6. Moses and Aaron did so. They did just as the Lord commanded them.

What a verse. What a simple verse. What a significant verse. What a verse that I want.

Trust you want to mark your life, my life. Let me read it again. Exodus chapter 7 verse 6.

Moses and Aaron did so. They did just as the Lord commanded them.

When we get to the end of our lives and we stand before God, don't we want it to be true of us?

Don't you want God to say of you on that day? He did just as I commanded him or her to do.

No, obviously even as I say that none of us is perfect. Moses and Aaron were certainly not perfect here.

Jesus is the only one who in the end, God the Father would say, you did exactly as I commanded you to do.

At the same time, one, praise Jesus that he, the perfect one, died on the cross for our sins,

for all the times and all the ways we have not obeyed what God commanded us to do,

that Jesus covered over all of our sins and disobedience to God's command with His blood,

with His grace, with His mercy. When we stand before God, we will be counted with the righteousness

of Jesus that God will credit the righteousness of Jesus as if there was nothing that ever went wrong

in our lives. He will see us and welcome us into His presence for all of eternity.

So praise God for His grace in that way. And based on His grace, then, don't you and I,

with Jesus in us now, His Holy Spirit dwelling in us through faith in Him.

Don't we want to live in total obedience to God? Like, don't we want to do all that the Lord

commands us to do? I just pray this continually, God, I don't want to do some of what you've

commanded me to do. God, I trust that others who are praying with me right now that they don't

want to do some of what you commanded us to do, to do part of what you call us to do. We want it

to be said of us that when you speak to us, we do so. We obey and do just as you command us. So
