When your values are clear, making decisions becomes easy. After generations of failure, God’s people finally realized what was most important in life, so they made a list of things they were committed to changing. Their heartfelt prayer in chapter nine led to heartfelt priorities in chapter ten. Let’s explore how they committed to change in these four areas of life.

I. Scriptural Authority (vv. 28-29)

II. Relational Purity (v. 30)

III. Spiritual Regularity (v. 31)

IV. Financial Responsibility (vv. 32-39)

Talk with God: Spend time in prayer as you consider each of these areas in your own life and ask the Lord to reveal areas you need to re-prioritize.

Talk with others: Ask your mentor or a trusted fellow believer to provide accountability as you refresh your priorities.

Talk with kids: How does Jesus save us from the punishment our sin deserves?
