Listening to God's word and what happens when we do

Deuteronomy 28:1
If you will LISTEN DILIGENTLY TO THE VOICE of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

How do you know that's it's Gods voice?
Does it line up with God's word?
Do you have to trust Him? 

What are the commandments they are commanding?
10 commandments - 
1. I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other God's before me. 
2. You shall not make any graven images/idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain. 
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your Father and Mother.
6. You shall not kill.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not lie to anybody.
10. You shall not covet other people's things. 

God set you high above all earthly nations - this is talking about at the end when it's the difference between heaven or hell. When we listen to Him and do His work, when he tells us "well done, good and faithful servant", we are lifted up into heaven, above where we live physically into the realm of the perfect and spiritual.



When our lives line up with what God is calling us to do, we will have VERY hard time, but we will also thrive in grace and peace.. a peace that doesn't feel like any other peace. It's a soul peace, that leads to joy. So much better than the happiness everything else offers.
