Now we have come into a new fiscal year, and I guess some of you have come into a new environment. What do we need when we face a new land?
First is not to forget the LORD. The Israelites were supposed to live in the well-watered land, and there was a danger for them to forget the LORD because they may devote themselves to their matters for living such as gaining crops. There is the same kind of danger for us as well. We always need to acknowledge the LORD while walking our lives.
Second is to serve the LORD. It is to know the mind of the LORD and follow Him by humbling ourselves. Otherwise, we will serve worldly things.
Third is to fear the LORD. We tend to fear people, but the important thing is to walk our lives while fearing the LORD. And then, one can walk the right, blessed way.
The environment surrounding us will change. Nevertheless, whatever environment we are in, let us always look up the LORD and walk our lives while remembering these three things!

Fear the LORD your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.
