Deuteronomy 8:10-11 (NLT) 10 When you have eaten your fill, be sure to praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. 11 But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the Lord your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today.

Deuteronomy 8 tells us to obey God's commandments. We do this by obeying God with... 

• OUR HEART By loving him more than any relationship, activity, achievement, or possession 

• OUR WILL By committing ourselves completely to him 

• OUR MIND By seeking to know him and his Word, so his principles and values form the foundation of all we think and do 

• OUR BODY By recognizing that our strengths, talents, and sexuality are given to us by God to be used for pleasure and fulfillment according to his rules, not ours 

• OUR FINANCES By deciding that all of the resources we have ultimately come from God, and that we are to be managers of them and not owners 

• OUR FUTURE By deciding to make service to God and man the main purpose of our life's work
