For years, travel to remote areas was a big part of our ministry. When people identified the roads for us that led to our towns and villages, we were always grateful.

Are we grateful for the commandments of the Lord?

Do we recognize that they lead to a better life?

Moses tells us that by keeping God's commandments we grow strong and prosper and will receive from God the promised land. Our Lord will be our rock, fortress, and deliverer. We will see the victory of God and enjoy His kindness. Loving God, and our neighbor is the essence of keeping all of God's commandments. If we hate others or the commandments, we have no future.

With so much hate in the world, may God give us the grace to love and follow His commandments.
