Before we'd finish up with the trials of Moses, there's a few things left to say on the manner. First off, Deuteronomy makes an excellent account of the law as told by the earth if it was listening earnestly to every word that was said. You know, with Moses up there on the Mount of wherever there in particular. Jesus also was on a different mountain in his day and age standing there getting asked whether temples should be built for the three of them by the disciples who should've probably known better and then. I mean, it's not too far of a stretch wondering that Moses and Elias had suddenly appeared with him to share in the glory of witness it then. Perhaps some have called it the mount of transfiguration with purpose though, it's much more of a things you should've known better before you began even speaking. Though it wasn't you was it but the disciples much rather who shouldn't have been even watching it for except just to confirm that Christ was the Lord. He still is by the way and always has been and will be stretching on into the future of before time began. Without further ado or fuss there for you, let's get right on into the heart of what he's been saying, this Father in Heaven. Perhaps we have not understood it just yet, mainly because of our sin. For within you'll find all the answers to your burning questions and things you've been missing and also whatever there is all under the Son.
What he did that for in particular
And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy 10:12-15
- Service to God required of all men
- Service to God expressed in a variety of ways
- Keeping the commandments of his are a good place to begin
- The statutes also start from within
- Without a knowledge though of what our God has done been, a good God to all of his children and then, it's awfully hard to see, hear, know, or even fulfill the Word of the Lord
- The fulfillment then is much more likely to come from whoever was listening in on it the mostest intently
- Which is where there's an excellent teaching provided by the servantest of createdest beings
- Indeed, the Lord owns the heavens and the earth and all that's therein to be found there with them
- He also made man after his image and likeness to walk up on it, to dress it and keep it as commanded in Genesis, and to do good on the earth just as it had been promised to them
- Though man isn't always the delight that they seem having at times forgotten the Lord or left off of his Word
- Still there's faithfulness isn't there that even if the heavens and earth should fail or pass away or should otherwise fall from his Word it would not return to him void but would accomplish whatsoever he'd sent it to do there in the end
His purpose revealed that it may stand amongst many brethren
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
Deuteronomy 10:16-20
- Law is never given just for the sake of having a judgement at hand
- Rather it's been given to answer the plans of all man
- Human behavior apparently has to have an outlet to nature, that is that thing deep down inside that is what we're doing it for there in full. We can't always fully understand or explain being finite, human, and limited in thought and in reason
- God though also has purposes and plans which he has made towards the world and to us in particular as all of his people
- In fact, the circumcision talks no more about bodily mutilation and being able to control the behavior by what has been done to it there to determine the ending of man. Some have said that fasting is merely afflicting the soul though it's more of a different approach giving you power in the spirit of course. Bodily exercise though profits little to next to nothing as the apostle Paul would've said. That means it doesn't do very much good
- Circumcision though of the heart refers more aptly to a people that are ready and willing to hear all of God's Word. More than that, they're ready to do it as well having their ears pretty trimmed back of their stuff and right well keen on the Master's own business at hand
- God also has a nature so to speak and some intents and some purposes. He's got a position and a name ot uphold and when it comes to that he regards not that of men nor takes rewards. That's to say he can't be bribed from inside. Some of us can though which is why we're having this talk in particular. He's impartial though and it's not just for no reason except to being good for his Word.
- At no time then will he ever fall from his Word. In fact, beyond just having a name to uphold, he's also got to be good just as he said.
- There's judgement then for the fatherless and widow and love for the stranger for food and some clothes. In fact, our God's mighty good to all of his people and expects something back in return having upheld their cause time and again.
- Thus in the giving, there's fearing and serving, cleaving, and swearing which means the leaving off of service to self is just as implied as whatever we're doing that for but for the reward of the Lord
His promise fulfilled that he sware unto you
21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Deuteronomy 10:21-22
- God you'd find in Hebrews 6 had sworn by himself for he couldn't swear by none greater there in the end. Thus there's an end to all strife between two parties much as an old married couple that has said all their vows. Though when it comes to that, our God isn't nearly the helpless wife who's dependent herself on her husband's own mercies or the husband who's struggled hard for a living only to be faced then with raising his children. Nor is he a do nothing God in particular who instead is actively involved in the lives of his children.
- Thus we give God praise who's been good unto men
- He confirmed it with more than an oath didn't he but rather a swearing which made his promise a surety or his own as good as dead
- Consider, if God hadn't brought them from up out of Egypt there'd been no relief from their trials and affliction. They went down there with so few to start off with but when our God had brought them out and finished his work he'd made of them a great nation. In fact, the stars of heaven explain just how so our Lord's been leading his children. Were it not for him I'm afraid there'd be nothing left to the ages of man much less for the pages explain
-
So being found as after his puprose and his Word
as good as oath for which it'd been taken much as the promise remained to his
people and them as good as dead from the start much as Sarah's had been whom
her womb was promised a son though yet he'd taken himself for which he'd done
these great and terrible things that our eyes have yet seen. We'll praise him
too won't we even yet before he is through.
