You shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
Deuteronomy 5:33 (NKJV)
What is the secret to a healthier, happier and longer life? God revealed it through Moses.
Here it is, “You shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.” (Deuteronomy 5:33).
The secret is obedience to the law and the will of God. The Lord told His people that they would enjoy longer lives if they walked in all the ways He had taught them.
As long as the Israelites obeyed God and did not worship foreign gods, they remained in their land and prospered. However, when they sinned against Him and worshiped idols, God allowed neighboring nations to take Israelites captive and to dominate God’s children.
That explains why the Israelites went into Babylonian captivity. Remember also that Jesus was born during the era of Roman colonization of Judah.
The same applies to us today. When we obey God, we live at peace with our families, neighbours, society and government. Our communities are safer. Our environment is cleaner. Therefore, our lives become heathier, happier and longer.
Apart from what you cannot control, what areas of your life do you need to bring under the control of God for you to experience a healthier, happier and longer life?
Almighty Father, today I choose to obey You in all aspects of my life.
