Okay, so I know it's been months since I posted to this blog. It's not because I'm lazy, although I am at times.... but when our Freedom Life service began in April the challenges of being a husband, dad, pastor, Sunday school teacher, band leader/guitarist, and person somehow pushed out me being a blogger.
I want, however, to recommit to posting to this blog on a regular basis. I pray it will be a blessing to me and you to continue daily through the Word of God.
By the way, I typically read something in the Old and New Testaments each day. I will share with you how the Lord speaks to me in the most significant ways.
Today, I was finishing up Deut. 31-34. What struck me was how God told Moses that as soon as Moses died, the people would rise up and worship other gods (Deut. 31:16ff), and how He would punish them. God then gives Moses a song to teach to the people to be a witness against them. We tend to remember songs.
The end of chapter 31 has Moses saying these words to Israel, "For I know that after my death you will become utterly corrupt, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you. And evil will befall you in the latter days, because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands." What a sad commentary.
Still God is gracious and ends the song of Moses with these words, "He [God] will provide atonement for His land and His people." Deut. 32:43. We know that atonement was Jesus Christ.
Rejoice today that where sin abounded, grace did abound much more. Rom 5:20
Have a blessed day!
