Seize the Moment – Day 623
God’s Word is for our Good!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Tuesday, November 30.
Do you believe that the Bible is God’s Word and given to us through trustworthy men for our good?
In Deuteronomy 5:1-5, Moses legitimized and authorized the “second giving” of the Law by establishing it as a divine revelation from God and not something he wrote:
Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I am speaking today in your hearing, that you may learn them and observe them carefully. The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. The Lord did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, with all those of us alive here today. The Lord spoke to you face to face at the mountain from the midst of the fire, while I was standing between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the Lord; for you were afraid because of the fire and did not go up the mountain.
This chapter lays the foundation for the next twenty-one chapters so that the new generation would know and remember that it was God who rescued them from slavery, gathered them at Sinai, and brought them through these last forty years to prepare them for this moment in time.
Moses was helping the new generation to remember that the God who gave these commandments is the One who rescued and delivered them from slavery—God’s intentions are trustworthy, and His Law is good!
Seize the moment and trust God and that all His ways are for your good!
God bless you!
