How to follow My statutes daily?
How can we "keep My statutes" in our daily lives today?

The Call to Obedience

“​You shall keep My statutes and practice them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.” – Leviticus 20:8


Why God’s Statutes Still Matter

• God’s character never changes (Malachi 3:6).

• Jesus affirmed every “jot and tittle” of the Law (Matthew 5:17-18).

• Obedience proves love: “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments” (John 14:15).


What “Statutes” Means

• Fixed, specific directives from God.

• Given for our good and His glory (Deuteronomy 10:12-13).

• Fulfilled perfectly in Christ, yet still reveal God’s moral will for us (Romans 7:12; 8:4).


Practical Ways to Keep His Statutes Today

Know Them

• Daily Bible reading plan covering the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27).

• Listen to Scripture on audio during commutes.

• Study passages in context—law, history, poetry, prophecy, gospel, epistle.

Treasure Them

• Memorize key verses; write them on cards or apps (Psalm 119:11).

• Meditate morning and night: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth” (Joshua 1:8).

Apply Them

• Before decisions, ask, “What has God already said about this?”

• Align finances, entertainment, relationships with clear biblical commands.

• Replace ungodly habits with righteous ones (Ephesians 4:22-24).

Depend on the Spirit

• “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16).

• Pray for illumination and strength each time you open the Bible (Psalm 119:18).

Keep Short Accounts

• Confess quickly when you stumble (1 John 1:9).

• Receive Christ’s cleansing and move forward in obedience.

Invite Accountability

• Join a local church that teaches the whole Bible (Hebrews 10:24-25).

• Share victories and struggles with trusted believers (James 5:16).

Persevere with Hope

• God Himself empowers obedience: “It is God who works in you to will and to act” (Philippians 2:13).

• Future reward awaits the faithful (2 Timothy 4:7-8).


The Result: A Holy Life That Points to Him

Keeping His statutes daily sets us apart, just as He promised: “I am the LORD who sanctifies you.” When Scripture shapes thoughts, words, and choices, the world sees His holiness reflected through us.
