Thought for the Week: Deut 32/33

The Lord Is Our Rock & Shield

With the covenant reestablished
and the nation poised at Jordan
River, Moses completes his
duties as leader of God’s people
by commissioning Joshua as his
successor with a sober warning.
To help the people remember
his message of life, Moses
records his final words as a song.

Lord, we proclaim You’re Our Rock;
and we seek Your Everlasting Arms:
(Then Moses spoke to all of Israel):
Hear O earth words of my mouth
for I proclaim the name of the Lord:
Ascribe greatness to our God.
He is the Rock. His work is
perfect; and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong,
upright and just is He (Deut 32:1-4).
Is He not your Father, who bought
you? Has He not made you and
established you?.. He kept (you)
as the apple of His eye (v6-10).
The eternal God is your refuge and
His Everlasting Arms are under u…
Then Israel shall dwell in safety…
Happy are you O Israel!
Who is like you, a people
saved by the Lord, the shield
of your help (Deut 33:27-29).

Lord, I lift my eyes to You, my solid
rock, my refuge and my salvation.
Help quieten my heart to wait on U
in the storm for my hope is in You.
Let my confidence not be shaken
by what circumstances may say
or my mind may think. Thank You
that my confidence rests on You,
the One who is the Rock and that
You can never be shaken. Amen.

Lord, we enter each day with the
intention to trust in You; yet when
the winds blow and the waves rise,
we tend to forget looking at You.
Help me focus on You Lord for
You are my solid rock, safe refuge
and shelter from the storms of life.
Lord You are for me and You are the
same yesterday, today, and forever.
You are my Rock & sure foundation;
and I place my future into Yr Hands.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Lord, You are almighty & You are
my safe refuge from the storm.
Let me sense Your Everlasting Arms
of protection and love holding me.
Help me to find rest in You for
the battle belongs to You Lord.
No matter the battles are with health, finances or relationships,
because of Your presence in my life,
I’ll not face those challenges alone.
For I depend on Your Everlasting
Arms and strength, not mine. Amen

Reflection on Deuteronomy

Hearing God thru His Word

The purpose of Deuteronomy is
to remind the people of what God
had done and encourage them
to rededicate their lives to Him.
Moses stresses holiness as a way
of life and reminds the people of
the necessity of obedience to God.
Whether possessing the land,
defeating the enemy, or simply
enjoying life in a new homeland,
God’s people must exhibit complete
obedience to His commands.

On Monday, we learn from Deut 4
to Accept and Trust God’s Voice.
On Tuesday, we learn from Deut 5/6
to Be Reminded of God’s Word.
On Wed, we learn from Deut 7
to Trust God for His Faithfulness.
On Thu, we learn from Deut 26 that
God Answers & Blessed His People.
On Friday, we learn from Deut 28/30
on Choosing to Obey the Lord.
On Saturday, we learn fr Deut 32/33
that the Lord Is Our Rock & Shield.

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who Hear You:
For we accept and trust God’s voice,
readily be reminded of God’s word.
For You Answer & Bless Your People
and we choose to Obey the Lord.
For Your Faithfulness and being
our solid Rock, Refuge & Shield.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
