1. If you obey my commands (1-9a)

God does not want his people to worship anyone or anything other than himself. He wants us to obey his word. If we obey his commands and live according to his word, he will pour out blessings upon us. The land will produce so abundantly that we cannot even keep accurate records. God will protect us from all enemies, give us victory over them, and keep us in peace (6-9).

2. I will keep my covenant (9b-13)

God promises to keep his covenant with his obedient people. His best blessing is to put his dwelling place in their midst, to walk among them, and to be their God. God broke the yoke of Israel's slavery in Egypt; he breaks the yoke of our slavery to sin and enables us to walk with heads held high. Only those who belong to God can be really free.

Application: Lord, thank you for breaking the yoke of slavery to sin and giving me real freedom. Help me to walk with you and serve you each moment of today so that I may claim your victory.
One Word: Obey God; enjoy his blessing
