And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 8:19–20
Was there ever a time when you were serving the Lord more diligently and more consistently than you are today? If your answer is yes, I plead with you to take this passage to heart, for if you do not, you’ll perish. Oh, maybe not physically, but your marriage will diminish, your family will diminish, and your joy will diminish. Your life will get smaller and smaller. On the other hand, when you say, “God’s been good to me. Therefore, I’m going to learn His ways, give Him praise, and serve Him with all of my heart and soul, mind and strength,” you’ll find yourself truly blessed in every way.
