Moses urges obeying God’s laws which bring blessings and warns disobedience bringing misfortune. The 10 Commandments and all of God’s laws point out to us where we fall short and show us How we should Live as God’s people. To ensure orderly mgt of God’s holy people in the Holy Land, God provides societal regulations and Genesis 25 & 26 focuses on holiness in human relations.
Lord, we’re thankful for Your Grace:
The Egyptians mistreated us…
and laid hard bondage in us.
Then we cried out to Lord God
and the Lord heard our voice
and looked on our affliction…
So the Lord brought us out
of Egypt with a mighty hand…
So you shall rejoice in every good
the Lord has given you (Dt 26:6-11)
I have obeyed the voice of the Lord
my God & have done according to
all that You have commanded me.
Look down from… heaven
and bless Your people (v14-15).
You have declared… the Lord is
your God. And you have promised
to walk in His ways, and to obey
His commands… Also the Lord has
proclaimed you to be His special
people, just as He promised you,
that You should keep all
His commandments (v17-18).
Father, thank You for Moses’ Second Address which gives us the principles for godly living. Help us not operate out of fear but remember Your mighty acts. Help us to be always thankful for all that You’ve done for us. Help us not be rebellious but instead Obey Your Commands. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, we have transgressed Your
commandments & forgotten them,
and have not obeyed your voice.
Forgive our sins, and bring about
a spiritual awakening among us
that we may walk in Your ways,
keep Your commandments
and obey Your voice with all
our heart and all our soul. Amen.
Lord, thanks for lavishing Your love
& bringing me out of slavery to sin.
I declare You are the Lord my God;
& I have no other gods before You.
Help me obey Your commands
relating to frustrating areas of
brokenness and shortcomings.
Grant me enough love, obedience,
reverence and faithfulness to
fulfill Your mission for me. Amen.
