God’s people were generally promised a long, blessed life if they observed His commands and walked in His ways. This applies also to cities, nations, people groups etc. The benefits of serving the Lord and allowing His Kingdom principles to emanate from your life are many.

Whenever the road gets bumpy, stop and evaluate … have I put the Lord first in my decisions? Have I been a thorn to someone else? Is there a message from God that I need to hear?

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, I honor You and Your precepts. Let today be another step in a long life dedicated to serving You and Your Kingdom.

DAILY READING:  Deut. 10-14
