Deuteronomy chapter 5, verse 33.

You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live,

and that it may go well with you, that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.

Now, just as a reminder, Deuteronomy means second law.

So it's, in a sense, the recounting of God's law that we've already seen in the Bible back in Exodus.

So Deuteronomy chapter 5 is a recounting specifically of the Ten Commandments, starting

in verse 6.

You see the Ten Commandments listed out.

And Moses is recounting before the people, as they're preparing to enter into the

promised land, what God has already said.

And you get to the very last verse in this chapter, Deuteronomy

chapter 5, verse 33. And Moses says, you shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has

commanded you. And then listen to these four words. That's what I want us to focus on praying

according to today. So walking all the way,

the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live. That you may live. You think about

what that meant, even for these people standing on the edge of the promised land, who have just

seen an entire generation

die. Why? Because that entire generation, with the exception of Caleb and Joshua, did not walk

in the way the Lord had commanded them. They turned aside from the way that the Lord had commanded them. They turned aside from the way that the Lord had commanded them, and they all died.

And God is saying, now you, you have these commands from the Lord.

Walk in them that you may live like your life is dependent on obeying the commands of God.
