THE BIG TEN


Good day dear friends.
PRAYER SERVICE TOMORROW NIGHT AT 7!
TONIGHT REHEARSAL OF THOSE INTERESTED IN BEING IN THE LIVING LAST SUPPER. ALSO AT 7.
Here is our study guide for today:Wednesday: Exodus 19 & 20. In what order would you place the Ten Commandments if you were listing them by importance? Why?
This question is like asking, who's smarter, God or you? I would have to answer that God is. There's a rhyme and reason for the order in which God gave the Ten Commandments to us. I know that some would place low priority in those having to do with our relationship with God and that's because God isn't important in their life. Others would place it high in their mind, but not in their heart, and live a life that doesn't honor God. If we look at their order, they're written exactly as how we should live: Make sure God is number one in our life; respect God, honor and worship God; don't make anyone or anything else God.
The others show how we should live our lives in our relationship with others: those who raised you should have a special place in our life; respect life, don't take it away; don't take away life from the most special relationship in your life by going with someone other than your spouse; respect your neighbors by respecting what is theirs.
How have you ranked the Ten Commandments in your life? Are you living in that manner? Or can people see that some are just not real for you?
PRAYER: Loving God, help me to live my life as You have instructed. May You have the proper place in my life that You deserve. Help me live my life with others in the way that brings honor to Your name, for I pray these things in Jesus' name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
