What Does God Want from Us Today?

I've been working through Deuteronomy, a book that lacks exciting narratives, but contains immensely important life advise.

Upon waking up in the morning, we might ask ourselves: What does God want from us today? What can we do to please God? How do we conform to his will?

Deuteronomy 10:12,16 (NLT) contains the answer,

What does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul ... Therefore, change your hearts and stop being stubborn.

A similar message appears in the final chapter of Ecclesiastes. Note that God's demands are not complicated or onerous. Nor should we view them as optional! Today in our prayers, let us reflect upon the message in Deuteronomy 10:12,16.
