"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, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess."  (Deuteronomy 5:33)

This article is the third in a series on the topic, "About the Way."

     Consider.  Jesus said "I am the way" (John 14:6).  The "way of the Lord" was a concept familiar to Jesus' Jewish listeners.  Consider these principles from the Old Testament. 

     God instructed the Israelites to keep God's commandments by walking in his way.  Deuteronomy 5:33

What was the way that God had commanded?  Please read through the Ten Commandments (Deuteronomy 5:1-21).  

Consider the three-fold blessing God promises for the nations and people who keep his commandments – "that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land which you shall possess" (Deuteronomy 5:33).

     God went before the Israelites to show them the way.  Exodus 13:21  

     Knowing God and God's ways are key to experiencing God's favor.  Exodus 33:13

     God instructed the Israelites to make God's way known among all nations.  Psalm 67:1-2

     God instructed parents to teach their children the way of the Lord.  Proverbs 22:6

     David asked God to "Teach me Thy way, O Lord."  "Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies" (Psalm 27:11).  "Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths" (Psalm 25:4).

David’s request to God, "Teach me Thy way, O Lord," is an excellent example for us to follow.

     Apply.  Are you walking in the way of the Lord?  Are you obeying God's commandments?  Deuteronomy 5:1-21

I was blessed by these scriptures . At this period in my life, after44 years of ministry and losing my spouse 7 months ago, I am feeling loss and searching.
Now I can rest, and follow God's path for my life.
Thank you. Looking forward to more of this.

Dianne, I pray God's comfort (Matthew 5:4) and guidance for you during this season of life for you. God promises never to forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6,8). He will help you to know and to follow the path he has in mind for you (Psalm 25:4).
