“So I will keep Your law continually, forever and ever. And I will walk
at liberty, for I seek Your precepts. I will also speak of Your testimonies
before kings and shall not be ashamed.” (Psalm 119:44-45)

The final step of the Great
Commission is to learn how to obey all that the Lord has commanded. Yes, the
faithful will learn to keep the Lord’s commandments forever and ever. Begin now
to learn the way of the Lord and know that the life He is putting into You is
forever. Be guided by the Lord and His ways and walk in them. He who is forever
has called you to Himself.

Lord, I resist following in the ways You have decreed. Guide me, O Lord,
in the way You would have me go. Help me according to Your goodness that I
would forever hold fast to the truth of Your word. Lead me into Your statutes
and teach me to keep them. Guide me, O Lord, for without You I am lost and do
not know which way to turn. Let my life be a testimony of Your goodness and
mercy.

Lord Jesus, You have come to lead
the way of truth. Guide me this day that I would learn a little more about how
to live the eternal life. Walk with me and teach me the eternal statutes that I
would practice them and live according to Your word. May I be found this day in
the truth You have revealed and walk in a way that is pleasing to the Father. Through
the Holy Spirit I can do this, Lord. Amen.
