Today, I am reading and commenting on  Deuteronomy 32-34.

In many ways Moses’ song recorded here applies to us today.  God had blessed us, but we turned from Him to false gods.  After World War II, Christians used the opportunities provided by the opening of the world to bring God’s word to places where it had rarely been heard.  That message was warmly received in many of these places and people throughout the world were greatly blessed.  In the 1970s and 80s great strides were made reducing hunger throughout the world.  Then. we put our trust in things which were not God, were not even gods, and God has brought calamity upon the world.  God is challenging us to take shelter from the “gods” we have chosen, gods which cannot shelter us, and, to be perfectly clear, would not if they could.  As He said through Moses God is once more telling us:

See now that I myself am he!
There is no god besides me.
I put to death and I bring to life,
I have wounded and I will heal,
and no one can deliver out of my hand.

God is calling us once more to turn to Him, listen to His word, and obey His instructions.   Let us once more pray to God for discernment, and when He offers it to us let us follow what it tells us.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
