Good morning brothers and sisters, this is Alice from HarvestLA. Today is Wednesday, June 17th, 2020. We are going to study God's words of Deuteronomy today.
Let's pray. Dear Heavenly Father, we praise You and we love You, please help us know You more and listen to You, in Jesus's name we pray Amen!
Let's read today's bible verses. Deuteronomy 31:30-32:14 The Song of Moses 30 And Moses recited the words of this song from beginning to end in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel: 32 Listen, you heavens, and I will speak; hear, you earth, the words of my mouth. 2 Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants. 3 I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! 4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. 5 They are corrupt and not his children; to their shame they are a warped and crooked generation. 6 Is this the way you repay the Lord, you foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, your Creator, who made you and formed you? 7 Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you. 8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. 9 For the Lord’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance. 10 In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye, 11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft. 12 The Lord alone led him; no foreign god was with him. 13 He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him with the fruit of the fields. He nourished him with honey from the rock, and with oil from the flinty crag, 14 with curds and milk from herd and flock and with fattened lambs and goats, with choice rams of Bashan and the finest kernels of wheat. You drank the foaming blood of the grape.
The book of Deuteronomy is a retelling of God's Law, how God rescued Israel from Egypt, the relationship with them. And in the song of Moses, is actually the last day of his life, God told him to pass on the baton to the next generation's leader Joshua for Israelites. Again, it repeats once more how God's Grace has been present from the beginning. Informs them about the consequences if they turn their face away from God. God is almighty, He can make things right just like so, yet He gives them free will. They are like rebellious children, walking away from God's Mercy! How foolish and unwise that they didn't choose life over death and the blessing over the curse. True freedom is choosing not to do the things that you shouldn't do! In Hebrews 12:11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
