Deuteronomy 10-13 KISS: Keep It Simple (Stupid)

Holy cow! It has been a long and full day. I feel that I have reached the limit of what new information I can take in today. I have literally spent more than half of my day listening to sermons and lessons about what life is supposed to look like. All of that is good, I am radically blessed to be where I am right now. No one gets to learn as much in a day as I do…so I thank God for that.

But, there is also a point where all of it gets pretty complicated, and you come to the point where you need to boil vast amount of information down to something that you can handle for now.

Fortunately, the Bible does that for us…

Check this:

Love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Deuteronomy 11:13

This verse was a basic summary of all of the laws that Moses had given to the Israelites. I love this because it is sweet and it is so simple sounding.

We serve a God who is vastly complicated and incredibly deed, but everything that he has called us to do can also be said with one breath.

It’s pretty cool!

So…at the end of a long, lesson filled day remember this:

Just love God, serve him with everything that you’ve got…and call it good.

Good Night…I need sleep now!
