“Your servants will do what the Lord has said.” -Numbers 32:31

As Moses discussed the division of the land with one of the tribes of the Israelites, we find a clear statement regarding the importance of obedience. Those who agreed to the presentation Moses had made gave the promise, “Your servants will do what the Lord has said.”

We like to highlight God’s love and forgiveness during our times of failure and rightly so. But even better than receiving God’s forgiveness for failure is to do what the Lord has taught instead of failing. We require God’s grace, yet we are called to obey God’s commands.

Sometimes people ask me why I am handwriting a copy of the entire Bible. There are many reasons, but one of them is the that if I want to live what God says, I must know what God has said–and do it. It is no longer enough for me to read words on a page. I meditate upon them, pray over them, and seek to apply them to my life as a matter of obedience to the One who has saved me.

Let’s talk about it on Facebook! Share your thoughts, pictures, or videos on handwriting Scripture.
