God had said that a true test of a prophet was whether his
message came true. But here, God also
adds that a true prophet would never
lead anyone to worship gods other than God.
Likewise, even if those closest to us try to get us to worship anything
other than God, we must not give
in. We read, “The Lord your God is
testing you, to find out if you love Him with your whole being. Serve only
the Lord your God. Respect him, keep His
commands, and obey him. Serve Him
and be loyal to Him.”
Moses continued, “You are the children of the Lord your God …
You are holy people, who belong to the Lord your God. He has chosen
you from all the people on earth to be
His very own.”
Wow! And in Christ,
Moses’ words apply to us today,
since we’ve been adopted by God.
My commentary adds: “There
are some things that the people of the world can do that Christians can’t do
and should not even want to do,
because Christians belong to the Lord and want to obey Him. As the familiar adage says, ‘Others may – you
cannot.’ God has every right to tell us what we can
put within us.”
Father, thank You for breaking through my stubborn
independence and showing me years ago that You do have the absolute right to tell me something is forbidden for me
even if the rest of the world can do it.
That’s because You are my
God.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
