One step at a time

You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him. (Deuteronomy 13:4 ESV)

Walk after:pursue, follow in His footsteps
Fear: respect, honor Him, keep, obey, do not deviate from
Obey: heed, bring to fruition, fulfill a command
Serve: to do for another, bringing items to another, waiting upon another

After looking at this passage in light of these simplified synonyms, I read it to say that we should follow in the Lord's footsteps, respecting, honoring, and not deviating from the path that He has laid for us, heeding His voice, looking to fulfill His every command, doing whatever He has for us to do.  

A tall order to be sure, one step at a time.
