Many today have life insurance that protects loved ones from when one is gone. Joannie and I have life insurance so that if something happens to either one of us, the other, along with the children will be taken care of. I ran across this verse this morning in my quiet time and it made me think of life insurance. God tells the children of Israel to follow his statutes and keep His rules, and perform them, and then they will dwell in then land securely. God promised the children of Israel that they would dwell securely in the promise land as long as they put God first and they followed Him. Talk about a great life insurance policy. He didn't say that it would be easy. God didn't promise them that they would never have enemies approach them or want to harm them. He simply told them to put me first, listen to me, and follow everything I say, and it will go well with you.
I do believe that today many people face unnecessary hurt and heartache and life difficulties, because they simply have not put the Lord first in everything and followed Him. As believers we need to examine every area of our life to make sure that God has priority in that area and that we are following Him. These areas arrange from our personal and private life, to our financial life, our church attendance, the way we love others and serve others. These are just a few of the areas that Scripture teaches children of God how to behave.
The great news is that when following the Lord and loving Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength will prove to be our best life insurance policy we could ever purchase. How's your life insurance policy?
