Moses wrapped up his farewell address to the people. Several things really stuck out this morning:
“The Lord’s loved ones will lie down in safety, because He
protects them all day long. The ones He loves rest with Him… The everlasting God is your place of safety, and His arms will hold you up forever.”
In my commentary:
“The better we know the Word of God, the more able we are to
express proper worship to Him.”
“God’s sovereign grace and love are never reasons for pride on the part of sinful people. Rather, they are truths that should humble
and make us want to serve Him with all our hearts.”
“Moses didn’t see the law as a burden from God but as a
rich inheritance.”
“Israel’s greatest danger wasn’t the armies around them so
much as the appetites within them. Their hearts need to be weaned away from their love of
idols and the sins associated with idol worship.”
“God has different ways of training His servants, and each
person’s training is tailor-made by the Lord.”
Father, thank You for loving me. Help me to rest with
You. Be my place of safety and remind me
to run to Your arms. As I read and study
Your word, make me better able to worship You.
Never let pride set in because of the grace You give me, but keep me
humble because You’ve given me grace. Remind
me that Your Word is not a burden to
bear. Remove the appetites within me
that aren’t of You, and wean me away from what You don’t want me to have. Thank You for tailor-making my training.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
