Read: Deut. 29:2-31:29
Moses was always reminding the people of what God had done for them and how he had provided for them. He never wanted them to forget who they were and whose they were. He had told them the blessings of following the Lord and the curses of not. They were to choose what they were going to do. It would not only affect them but the future generations who were not yet born. Sadly, God told Moses that when he died, the people would abandon the Lord and the curses would land on them. But he gave them a way to return to him. All they had to do was to return to the Lord with all their hearts and obey the commandments he set for them. Then God would give them a new heart to love him and God will turn all the curses on their enemies. We see this happening in our day. We see God’s people turning to the Lord and finding Jesus. God has protected that little piece of real estate of Israel and is making it prosper and rise. He is also doing that in his church. Today I read of a Christian who gave one million dollars to a ministry that helps the poor rise up and compete in gymnastics. This ministry shares the gospel with each of its participants and loves them like a family. These are children who would never have the money to develop their skill. God is blessing his people once again.
I pray that we don’t get comfortable in God’s blessing but that we share with others what God has so freely given us.
We are given the choice of life or death. We choose life!
