I read this recently and thought of sharing it.
God’s top ten for a bigger, better life. He was saying, “Israel, I love you more than you will ever know. Please don’t do these things, or it will cost you every good thing I have for you. It will wreck your life.” Here’s the Myers translation of the Ten Commandments listed in Exodus 20:
1. Have no other gods before me. (Don’t bow to lesser things.)
2. No idols. (They are deaf, dumb, and powerless.)
3. Do not misuse my name. (It’s holy.)
4. Honor the Sabbath day. (It’s holy.)
5. Honor your father and your mother. (Honor authority while growing up.)
6. Do not murder. (Life is precious.)
7. Do not commit adultery. (Marriage is a holy vow.)
8. Do not steal. (You don’t want people stealing from you.)
9. Do not lie. (You don’t want people lying to you or about you.)
10. Do not covet. (Envy steals peace while destroying gratitude and relationships.)
God delivered the rules along with a promise that if His people followed them, they would be rewarded like no other.
Amen
God bless you
